Além de samba, sexo e futebol: Os motins da Copa do Mundo no Brasil

As Neymar sprints into his prime, Brazil is primed to host its first World Cup in 64 years. This year's tournament, furnishes the Brazilian government with a rare opportunity to showcase its greatest export on its home soil. Brazil and football are synonymous: A conflation the state has engineered to carry forward its policies inside and outside of the country. Its iconic lineage of soccer stars, starting with Pele and ending with Neymar, provide the state with single-named ambassadors known and loved all over the world.
