He was angered and distracted when, having donned that first headband before facing Spain at the group stage, there was an error and the Hymn to the National Flag came over the stadium speakers rather than the Brazilian national anthem. “Any reactions against poverty, wars, imperialism, social injustice, endemic illiteracy, and many other topics were overcome as I shook my head upon hearing the first chord, and I listened to the mistake,” he later admitted. “But it was worth the attempt.

Although Ann Dvorak had to be introduced somehow as a love interest, the script's biggest fault is the fact that she's wounded in a bank robbery at the hometown. She's a hitchhiker, but a lot believe she was in with the gang. Cardinal rule in real life and films, you absolutely don't do any criminal business in or near your sanctuary.
