Latin passion holds sway at the World Cup

[SAO PAULO] Look out Europe, Latin passion has taken over the World Cup, bringing a carnival atmosphere to the stadiums but also a security headache for Brazilian authorities.

Midway through the tournament, armies of Latin American fans who invaded Brazil by car, plane and busloads have often been the loudest while their teams dazzled on the pitch.

After European teams triumphed in the previous two World Cups, they have reason to celebrate.
