Anyone know if they are matching ids to tickets at the gate when you go the games? I dont mean when picking up the tickets, but rather at the point where they scan or tear your ticket to get in?

Another question is are they bothering people who bring cameras that have a large lens? I'm not talking super large, but maybe 6 inches long.

No request for ID so far here, either at the front gate or by any of the aisle " stewards. "
The stewards are in force at the games we have attended so far, about 1 per every 5 steps, or 5 per aisle. Very friendly, helpful, and mindful of the crowds.
Good, very professional job so far, without any problems !

Hi,
I unfortunately cannot make to USA vs portugal anymore. I have 3 category 1 tickets side by side. I am currently in Florianopolis, Brazil. I can change names on the Fifa website if needed. Please PM me if you need these tickets. Selling at around face value.
Cheers.

Porcao usually makes the top of most lists for 'rodizio'. There are a couple of locations. Esplanada has topped Veja magazine's list for best meat. Marius. Some like Carretao for value. Espaco Brasa in Leblon.

In Salvador I was surprised that locals told me the best was Fogo De Chão. I guess that is the same chain as the one you can find all over the US now?

Not Churrascaria, but a great steakhouse chain in Brazil is Pobre Juan. http://www.pobrejuan.com.br/

Salvador is known for its fresh seafood.
Local best for meat there has long been considered Boi Preto in Armacao.
Locals often try in their own way to impress the gringos; one friend was quite proud to take me to an Outback Steakhouse.
