Irineu Cruz and his wife Jucicleide Silva have been trying
for a daughter for nearly two decades. All the boys are named after Brazilian
footballers.
But the pair keep defying the odds to add more boys to their
brood, with population experts revealing the odds of having 13 in a row is one
in 8,000.
The couple – from Conceiçao de Coité, near Salvador in Bahia
State – now have enough boys to make up their own football team.
And the kids – aged from one month to 18 years old – are
even named after Brazilian footie stars such as Ronaldo to Rivaldo.
Farmer Irineu, 40, said: “When Jucicleide first got pregnant
we agreed she could choose the girls’ names and I would choose the names if
they were boys.
“I’ve always admired players like Rivaldo, Roberto Carlos,
Ronaldinho and Robinho. All the best footballers seemed to have a name
beginning with R.
