Coming off of the thrilling NFL Kickoff game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens, NBC streamed the first-ever NFL game in Brazil and South America as the Philadelphia Eagles took on the Green Bay Packers at the Corinthians Arena. But leading up to the Week 1 matchup between the Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles, controversies about accommodations, green jerseys, and a slippery field have arisen.But kickoff is inevitable for the Jordan Love-led team and the team of the surging Jalen Hurts in an attempt to avenge their early playoff exit. Before the game began in Brazil, Zeeba sang ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’.
Zeeba gets flamed for singing the American national anthem

Events that took place at the Corinthian Arena include major events such as the Rio Olympics in 2016 and the World Cup in 2014. This arena will host the NFL. The American national anthem, “The Star-Spangled Banner”, was sung by São-Paulo-raised singer Zeeba before the game-a song he grew up singing in Brazil, showing what this city can host in sports. Contrasting from Coco Jones, who sang for the Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens game, Zeeba had a quite unique way of singing, which kind of irritated some fans watching the clash between Jalen Hurts’ Eagles and Jordan Love’s Packers. NFL fans were dissatisfied with Zeeba’s rendition of the national anthem, leaving jokes and online criticism.
“ill be the first to say, this performance was buns,” one fan said. “Literally the worst rendition ever. Don’t ever do this to our National Anthem again NFL pay for talent please.” “Never let him sing our National anthem again,” another wrote. One more wrote, “My ears are bleeding.” “Finally not a singer who screams and makes everyone’s ears hurt,” someone wrote.
Another fan went all out in discussing why Zeeba’s rendition was quite heavenly to hear, “The singer’s powerful performance truly brought the anthem to life, capturing the spirit and pride of our country with every note. Their passion and talent remind us of the strength and unity that define our nation. It’s a stirring reminder of what makes our country great and why we cherish our shared values and freedom.”
The Eagles and Packers are two teams that have Super Bowl aspirations; the Eagles lost in the Wild Card Round last season, while the Packers had a different postseason story-beating the Cowboys in round one and almost pulling another upset in the Divisional Round.
