New York, NY -- Actress Jordana Brewster won't discuss her rumored romance with New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter -- but she makes no secret about her love for Brazil's soccer team.

Although Brewster is American, "The Fast And And The Furious" star grew up in Brazil where she, sadly, always felt like an "Americana" outsider.

However, she tells gossip reporter Baird Jones that suddenly felt "Latina" when she came to America, where no one plays soccer, much less follows it.

She says she never feels "more South American than when Brazil scores a goal in the World Cup" and, if that happens in the World Cup final this Sunday, she promises to get out in the streets waving a Brazilian victory flag.

ABC will air the World Cup final Sunday morning at 6:30 a.m. EDT.
