This is not 1950 and brazil has been rioting about the world cup politics for years now leading upto opening week of the tournament. This is a volatile situation, literally millions of poor brazilians feel like the rising middle class is flying past them. Hosting the ccup was symbolic of this class and indeed racial divide. The only thing keeping the peace the love of futbol by tthe entire population. Now, with brazil put in humiliating fashion, those poor masses who have already been rioting may have nothing to restrain them. I always feared that if/when brazil was eliminated there would be violence as folks ask themselves,"what was this worth?" I sincerely pray there is no violence but the past 2 years of police brutality I fear have stoked the people. Roaming police deathsquads in the favellas have wrongfully been blamed on the world cup, and im not sure the ccommunities who have been victimized by police brutality will be able to shrug it off
