Spidey Bear sits on a table in front of U.S. Soccer's Neil Buethe at the Sao Paulo Futebol Clube, Brazil, Saturday June 28, 2014. Spidey Bear turned from his perch toward the television and sat intently and quietly (as usual) on a table some 8 feet from the big screen as Brazil took penalty kicks and salvaged its World Cup with a thrilling 3-2 win over Chile. It has been quite an adventure tour this summer for the stuffed black bear from Iowa City belonging to the nephews of Buethe, 6-year-old Graeme Thomas and little brother Miles, 3.
