Talk about reaching unexpected heights, check out this neat video as Brazilian giants Sao Paulo expand their brand by launching their kit to a weather balloon by sending it up as high as 30,000 feet into the air.
Sao Paulo was awarded the Copa Sudamericana title on Wednesday after violent scenes on and off the pitch prompted Argentine club Tigre to refuse to play the second half of the second leg of the final played in the nation set to host the World Cup in less than two years.
Tigre officials said their players were attacked in the dressing room area by security officials during the half-time break, following confrontations on the pitch at the end of the first half.
Roger Federer is not only a world-class tennis player, but the man has some pretty decent footy skills too.
The tennis star showed off his soccer footwork — dressed in a full Brazil kit — before a match against Tommy Haas in Sao Paulo. Federer and Haas knocked around an oversized tennis ball prior to their match, a part of the Gillette Federer Tour.
Federer also met Brazilian legend Pele, who tweeted out this picture of the two.
Roger Federer, you are a true champion on and off the court.
— Pelé (@Pele) December 8, 2012
What a cool moment between two sports legends!
