 Year of World Cup. The attentions of all will be concentrated in an only country. Supporting of all the places of the world, will be joined around its game. It is difficult to explain the relation of Brazil with the World Cup, a country where, this sport, is very to the front of all the others, in the popular preference. Each Cup, the main award of the world-wide soccer, has a love story and hate story with the Brazilians. It is necessary, for example, to know the tragedies of Maracanã (1950) and the Sarriá (1982), of the 24 years without award (1970 - 1994), of the rivalries with South-American countries (mainly Argentina) among others things.

 Beginning of years 80, new wave invades the world of music, the national rock dominates the radios of Brazil and the national soccer, is stuffed of stars.
