As the World Cup arrives, the New York Times takes a look at Brazil’s other favorite sport, Futevolei. It’s a variation on beach volleyball, where players are not permitted to use their hands. The game started on the beaches of Copacabana in the 1960s. The most dramatic maneuver is the “shark attack” which is like a spike in traditional volleyball, except it’s done with the foot.
