two decades
A Brazilian couple, Irineu Cruz and Jucicleide Silva,
who have thirteen sons and have been trying for a
daughter for almost 20 years, have vowed to keep
having babies until they get a girl.
The couple from Conceiçao de Coité, near Salvador in
Bahia State who keep defying the odds to add more
boys to their brood, with population experts revealing
the odds of having 13 in a row is one in 8,000, now
have enough boys to make up their own football
team.
Irineu Cruz and his wife Jucicleide Silva have had
thirteen sons and still plan to have more children
The kids aged from one month to 18 years old are
even named after Brazilian football stars such as
Ronaldo to Rivaldo.
The 40-years-old farmer, Irineu, said: “When
Jucicleide first got pregnant we agreed she could
choose the girls’ names and I would choose the
names if they were boys.
“I’ve always admired players like Rivaldo, Roberto
Carlos, Ronaldinho and Robinho. All the best
footballers seemed to have a name beginning with R.
“So as more and more boys came along, I decided to
celebrate South American football by naming my
sons after the players I liked.”
The family’s newest addition was christened Ronaldo
after the Brazil legend who played for Barcelona, Real
Madrid and Inter Milan.
Little Ronaldo joins brothers Robson (18), Reinan (17),
Rauan (15), Rubens (14), Rivaldo (13), Ruan (12),
Ramon (10), Rincon (9), Riquelme (7), Ramires (5),
Railson (3) and Rafael (2).
The football-mad family even play as a team, taking
on the local village club every weekend in a game
Irineu referees.
The farmer said: “We don’t have any medals. When
we win, we get a goat or a box of drink and some
food for the children.
“It would be amazing if one of our boys ended up
playing for Brazil. They are all good footballers –
particularly Robson and Rauan who are our star
strikers. The exception is Reinan who prefers chasing
girls.”[/color]
