I'm not a native Brazilian but i've been speaking Portuguese for the last 7 years and my girlfriend is originally from there. We're moving to Sao Paulo next year.
You are right, double r or words that start with r are pronounced with an h sounds like we both have indicated. I think people are learning about the r/h sound but the di/de that are prounced as g's are another amtter.
That's a cool story by the way. Anything to see the game!
