to think it's fucking madness to take a 2 year old child to the World Cup Final?

And then to parade the child about the street looking for a ticket when it turns out to be a scam- FFS!

They sound great Grin

Seriously, where's the harm in what they did? That sort of spirit is what gets people places.

Really? I think it's shocking.

I don't think a crowd of 60,000 plus (which is likely to be emotionally charged at best and rowdy at worst) is the place for a two year old and that sign Shock

I think it's fantastic! The sign is cute and I bet they had a great time together.

I think it's great too. Not the losing their tickets part of course but the taking your son to Brazil to the World Cup part.

Good luck to them - I hope they got tickets. Even if they didn't, what a fantastic story to have when his DS gets older.

What a cute kid.

It's not like he took the kid to a brothel it was a football match.

I agree with you, OP.

I wouldn't be too impressed if my child was used for for begging like that either.

Great holiday, lots of colourful flags/interesting people for a toddler.
Not exactly what I'd choose, but good on him. The father and son look so alike!!!
