success on the field may not be enough, this time, to keep soccer-mad brazilians satisfied. two guests have been studying and writing about these issues. david zirin is show on xm and author of a new book and paulo sotero is the director of the brazil institute at the wilson center. paulo, let me start with you to back up a little for context. when brazil got the world cup, was awarded it, it was a different time, right? it was power on the rise. >> yes, it was a very popular president, the economy was growing at about 6% a year, income was being distributed and there was a sense of possibility that this society continues to transform itself into a thriving democracy. but, yes, sometimes have changed. the economy now may be at this moment in a recession. there's a less popular president. the challenges created by the past success are much more complicated. >> brown: we'll pick up on that but david zirin, the other part of the context is the role of football, soccer in brazil, this tradition, it's identity with the country. >> absolutely. and paulo was correct. when the world

but we are going to show the world what it means to be brazilian. we want everyone to feel welcome and share our love of the game. soccer is like a religion in brazil, but the cost of staging the event has turned many fans here against it. half of the resilience say hosting the cup was a mistake. -- half of brazilians say hosting the cup was a mistake. but that does not mean they will not be tuning in. >> i'm just around the corner. i'll be taking part in the craziness. >> i'm looking forward to it. >> of course i will watch the matches. i still think the money should have been spent on hospitals, but i guess we just have to live with that. >> travel just a few kilometers north and it becomes clear how badly hospitals are needed. especially in rio's slums, like here. many say the billions that went into the tournament would have been better spent in this area. their decorating the streets with black -- he is decorating the streets with black ribbon. for him, the world cup is not a celebration. his is a small protest, and peaceful. but nevertheless,

no brazilian players. i was rooting for croatia yesterday. so there's some real anger there about the idea that each rooting for brazil is also like rooting for your open displacement. >> just how corrupt is fifa? >> i mean, my goodness, if we were having a casting call for james bond villains, fifa could go for that role. the problem is they're completely unaccountable organization that operates in a manner that seems to offend everybody, but they never get called on it. that's what is historic about what's happening in brazil. yesterday, 1,000 people marched through and they chanted, in english, bleep fifa. i think you can use your imagination. they are dragging fifa out of the shadows, much like the global protesters did 15 years ago with the imf and world bank. the people of brazil have performed a public service, because fifa can live in the shadows no longer. >> dave, thank you so much. >>> everything you need to know about who's who and what's what in this year's world cup. that's ahead. replace your laptop? start with the best writing

brazilians is something they talk about a lot.le going to brazil and experiencing the problems brazilians deal with everyday, they worry that the rest of the world is going to think bad about the country. that is something that makes people feel skeptical. >> i think part of the international image of brazil is also the idea that there is a fabulous wealth next to dire poverty in the favelas. where have you seen evidence that the emerging middle class g? growing yo >> brazil started really bad. things have started to evolve in the last decade. inequality is decreasing. the situation with inequality is still bad. you have people becoming consumers who were not before. improving,ings are you get to see a lot of money next to a lot of poverty. that is something that is a problem for the image of brazil and that is not going to change overnight, either. >> the idea that brazil is on the brink of booming is not new, we have been hearing this for 15 years. why hasn't it happened? >> people create expectations. some studies show that thi

country lives in poverty according to a study by the pew research center seventy two percent of brazilians surveyed are dissatisfied with things in brazil today which is up from fifty five percent one year ago and about six out of ten brazilians say hosting the world cup is a bad thing for brazil because it's taking money away from. services like health care and education and to make matters worse soccer protests aren't an unusual occurrence in brazil during last year's confederations cup thousands of people took to the streets in rio to protest a rise in transportation fees and just today in sao paulo striking subway workers and the state government there have agreed to hold emergency talks and an effort to try to resolve the five days strike which is plunged the city's transit system into chaos and threatened to disrupt the first match of the world cup on thursday and at the country's capital brasilia didn't have enough to worry about already happening group anonymous announced that they'll be launching an attack on the full world cup and its sponsors bottom line while the odds are on br

>> yes, and most brazilians are.ilians are very divided now about the wisdom of hosting the games. they were very much in favor of the games two years ago. ds of brazilians now believe this will bring more costs than benefits. but there is a very healthy discussion in brazil brought by the controversy surrounded the world cup about public spending priorities. in a country that has an emerging huge middle-class that wants better services, etc. >> what happened in the two years? >> what happened is that a very popular president ended his eight-your government with an approval rating of 85%. ,n an economy that was growing he was replaced by a non-curis dumack -- non-charismatic and the economy is growing and 2% or less. we had news that gdp may be in negative territory. in this new environment, people are concerned. and all the works, the public works that were planned for the world cup, especially in transportation and related things, are delayed, this is not a new story in brazil. brazil has a huge infrastructure defi

but you know i think it's fabulous that the brazilian people. are finally waking up proving to the world that winning a soccer match and winning a pillow contest that current of all. is no longer going to keep them distracted from the serious challenges that face their nation and frankly my hope is that a similar sentiment might take root in the united states right down your way leave it bad enjoy the games and i'll see you saying thank you for joining us as usual always a heated and insights and capital is just to host the twenty twenty two world cup which is estimated to cost of the two hundred billion dollars why such an astronomical price tag well they're ok. really know stadiums so they will be built entirely from scratch because of the levels of haiti's air condition stadiums for the players will be needed and transport infrastructure built for visitors to russia will host the next event in twenty eighteen at a cost of eight billion dollars although that figure is expected to rise for cats although despite the hate and constant allegations

the brazilians are really into the cup. good soccer this time around and they are excited to host people from all over the world but they are not getting behind their own team. people are not taking to the feared,the way they had but they are not as excited as they normally are, frosted by $11 billion that went to 12 different stadiums. >> are they taking their anger out at the players, the ones who are still rich and represent the kind of divide they are protesting? >> ah, well, you know, not necessarily. it is not that they are angry at the players, it is the government. the government had assumed that once the couple started everybody would be so excited about the national team that nothing else would matter. i think the frustration stems from that assumption. what they are saying is we are not that easy to buy. even football-obsessed brazil can't be bought with the national team pride. all of the companies, particularly the international international -- international team companies -- if you look at mcdonald's, they ar
