PORTO ALEGRE Brazil (Reuters) - He played just one game for Brazil but Fernandao is the player most in the hearts of football fans in this gritty port city gathering at a makeshift shrine to honour the swashbuckling striker killed just days before the start of the World Cup.
On an overcast day in Porto Alegre a steady line of mourners stopped to lay flowers or scribble condolences to Fernandao onto the walls of a visitors centre in the shadow of Beira Rio stadium which is hosting five World Cup matches before once again becoming the home ground for Internacional.
