Some of Brazil's most popular churches are pushing back their morning mass on Sunday so that their flock can cheer the country's soccer team onto what could be a record fifth World Cup title.

For the first time ever, Sao Paulo's Sao Bento Monastery will start the city's most well-attended Sunday mass an hour later so that those torn between soccer and their faith can catch Brazil's showdown with Germany, and hopefully say their thanks afterward.

"Out of respect for our faithful who come to mass, we've delayed service a bit," said Dom Joao Evangelista, head monk at the monastery, whose Gregorian chant-filled mass has made it a favorite among Brazilians on Sunday.

Ed, OK, put me down for Korea over Turkey 2:1. I'll go further on a limb and say I think Korea goes up 2:0, goes into a shell, and Turkey gets a late goal.
