I did not know him, but can imagine what a great guy he was for the country. Rest in peace.

Could the team wear black armbands tomorrow?

I was shocked when I got the news just after Portugal’s match. I though it was one of his jokes. I can’t realized it as real yet.

Well, that makes sense. Better than Terra’s explanation (”Besserman” + “Sujismundo” = “Bessermundo” -> “Bussunda”). I guess Terra’s one is the family version.

His real name is Cláudio Besserman Vianna. His nickname is based on a joke: ‘Where is Sunda? What Sunda? The one who f**ked your bunda.’ Bunda meaning your rear end while Sunda would be a strange fiction name.

Bunda + Sunda = Bussunda.

Ironically he was the responsable for impersonating Ronaldo and the president Lula, both involved in that sad/comic soap opera episode.
