Kobe Bryant has always been a huge soccer fan. Growing up in Italy surely had its role in shaping young Kobe’s love for soccer and his love for the game has continued.

With the World Cup kicking off last week, Bryant has been seen in Brazil enjoying the spectacle of the most popular sporting event in the world. Bryant let it be known who he believes will win it all, and has tweeted out pictures of himself at games.

Now, courtesy of Ruptly TV, there is some video of Bryant taking place in a street soccer game in Brazil. Bryant looks good running around the court and seems to show no ill-effects of the injuries he has dealt with over the past year.

While Bryant is obviously having fun, it is good to see Bryant moving normally. It leaves no doubt that Bryant will be ready to go, in peak shape, when the season kicks off in October.
