agree  Soraia Martins: I would go with "Hooray" on this one, yes :)

  -> Thanks Soraia :)
agree  rhandler: Foi o que primeiro me ocorreu.
19 mins
  -> Cheers Ralph! :)
disagree  Amy Billing: Sorry but 'Cheers/hooray Brasil' and 'cheers/hooray the Internet' both sound very odd to my native ears.
1 hr
  -> I just provided an informal option, but did not say it applies to "viva a Internet". It was more of general thing. I'm also a native (bilingual) grew up in th U.S. and we certainly use hooray to root for, in sports for example or Cheers to women !
