Note
The -s belongs only to the noun. Brazilian is also an adjective, and English adjectives never take a plural, so it is Brazilian fans and Brazilian cities, never Brazilians fans. Usually the plural counts people from Brazil or of Brazilian descent. In informal speech it can also count Brazilian waxes, the style of pubic hair removal, as in two Brazilians a month.
