The first World Cup soccer match led to rejoicing among those favoring the winner, Brazil, and questions about a controversial call and penalty kick among those favoring Croatia.  

Following up on Social Explorer's World Cup overview, we'll dig deeper into data on individual team heritage communities in the US.  

Using Social Explorer you can find where large numbers of those claiming Brazilian ancestry live (and where celebratory cheering might abound).
