Directions (6-10): The passage below has been divided into seven sentences, denoted by A), B), C), D) and E). Read the sentences and arrange them in a manner that the sentences make a meaningful paragraph.
(A) Supporters from South America have paid up to $10,000 for the pleasure of watching their national team, in some cases financing the trip by selling cars or taking out loans. What explains such devotion? The World Cup has a unique appeal in Latin America. During each tournament Eduardo Galeano, a leftist Uruguayan writer who died in 2015, would settle in front of his television having hung a sign on the front door of his flat in Montevideo saying “Cerrado por fútbol” (Closed because of football). For European fans, club often comes before country. For Latin Americans it is the reverse.
(B) Multitudes of Latin Americans have packed the stadiums in deepest Russia as if they were attending home games. According to FIFA, the organisers, five of the seven countries that (after Russia itself) snapped up most tickets in advance were Latin American. They were Brazil (73,000), Colombia (65,000), Mexico (60,000), Argentina (54,000) and Peru (44,000). Many of the fans from the United States (89,000), too, are Latinos who may support their countries of origin, and to them should be added Latino migrants in European countries.
(C) However much they may despair at their countries’ problems, Latin American patriotism is strong and uncomplicated. As a Colombian fan in Moscow put it to DW.com, a German news agency, “We love football and we love our country.” Grown men burst into tears when singing “Contigo Peru”, an unofficial national anthem, before the match against Denmark that marked their country’s return to the final stages of a World Cup for the first time since 1982. Another reason is that football is one of the few things at which Latin America is world class.
(D) Between them, three South American teams (Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay) have won the trophy nine out of the 20 times it has been contested. Footballers are a leading export: European club sides are stuffed with Latin American stars. With 8.5% of the world’s population, Latin America accounts for a quarter of the teams in this year’s tournament. Although Brazil does not always practise o jogo bonito (the beautiful game), Latin American teams are more likely than their European rivals to turn football into an art form.
(E) This football World Cup is barely a week old, but already Latin America has stolen the limelight. There have been memorable performances on the pitch: Mexico’s humbling of Germany, Peru outplaying Denmark but contriving to lose, flashes of magic from Brazil and three goals for Diego Costa, Spain’s Brazilian-born striker. There have been shocks, too, such as Argentina’s draw with Iceland and a battling ten-man Colombia losing to Japan. But more than the players, it is the fans who have caught the eye.
