Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English is a good choice. I am talking about the CD version.

I don't care much for soccer, but my sons love it. BTW, I do live in Brazil, but I'm an American. |

So Mrs, good for your sons, surely they will be able to compete for soccer with other American guys in the future, coz Brazil is the heaven of soccer. :wink: But only for soccer. |
