Carlos, a devoted Brazilian football fan, didn’t miss any of the action as his team clashed with Croatia.

His friends and family members created a mock pitch with elevated lines, allowing Carlos to follow along with the game.

Helio Fonseca de Araujo holds Carlos’ hands, directing them around the home made pitch, while Regiane communicates through movements on his back.
