1) "Colorado" is a noun referring to a person that is cheering for the Soccer Club named "Internacional" (or simply "Inter"). You can find more information about this Soccer Club at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sport_Club_Internacional 2) "Ele era a referência na criação" - means that he was the best in creating something. People look up on him. Or "ele é um exemplo quando se trata de criação" 3) "Começou em cima" = "começou com uma luta entre as duas equipes". This means both teams were enthusiastic about the game.

1) "Enfoque" derives from the Portuguese verb "enfocar", that means "colocar em foco", "pôr em foco". If you want an equivalent in English it could be "approach" or "WAY of focusing in something". This word is very new and used mostly in Brazilian Portuguese. 2) "em prol de" is an expression that we call LOCUÇÃO. The main part of this 'locução' is: prol. 'PROL' means "proveito"(benefit), "lucro"(profit) or "vantagem"(advantage). Knowing this you can assume the 'locução' "em prol de" means: "em benefício de", "em favor de". As you can see there's no direct translation to English. The sentence "Pediu para que ambos os partidos agirem em prol do crescimento" could be translated as "He asked that both parties do actions that will benefit the growth (of something...)" 3) Débito = in this context it is "dívida" (debit). But keep in mind other meanings like: A) "débito escriturado" claim as per accounts; B) "ao débito de" to the debit of.
