The World Cup unites all nations like no other international event, apart from natural disasters, wars and conflicts which, sadly many parts of the world are experiencing today. I drive past this brick wall regularly and my attention have often been caught by the simple painted goalpost on it, which is located at a cul-de-sac.

Ironically, in Brazil, a lot of football happens a bit like this, on the street and in the favelas of the inner cities. Tomorrow, Brazil will showcase it’s spanking new stadiums and amenities, to the world’s fans, despite the reported chaos, violence and strikes still ongoing.

Hope your favourite team wins!

Brazil hosted the World Cup 64 years ago.
