English football team samba in Rio ahead of Brazil clash

England footballers Joe Hart, Theo Walcott, Jermain Defoe and Jack Rodwell who are in Brazil for a friendly match against the multiple World Cup winners on Sunday got into the spirit of the country when they visited the Bola Pra Frente project in Rio.

Manager Roy Hodgson, FA Chairman David Bernstein, coach Gary Neville and goalkeeper coach Dave Watson joined the team as they interacted with underprivileged children on Friday.

Brazilian legend Bebeto also met them and was presented with a signed England shirt by Hodgson as The FA also made a donation to support the project.

Started by Bebeto's 1994 Brazil team-mate Jorginho and funded by Sport Relief, the institute is based in the Guadalupe area of northern Rio.

All present got a taste Brazil's love for football and music as there was lots of football and samba all around.

Hodgson danced to the samba tune as Neville played the guitar after offering the children some football tips.

Good foot work from playing football seemed to serve the English team well as they were able to groove well to the beats of Brazil's famous music.
