  • FIFA World Cup 2018
    JOSE RAMIREZ BARRETO Published on 17.6.18 Final-minute goals a common feature of almost all games so far A ready but cautious Brazil will begin their 2018 FIFA World Cup campaign against Switzerland on Sunday. Memories of that heart breaking 1-7 loss to Germany cannot have been easy to overcome but it’s something they have to put aside or it will not leave much room for an easy run through the group stage. Their preparations have gone to plan, with the focus more on tactical training as many of the players were coming off tough club seasons. Under coach Tite, the team has seen a turnaround, and what could have been a difficult road to Russia turned out to be a straightforward one. It’s really great to see the way the boys have responded to Tite. They are pushing themselves and working hard, and responsibly, to reach top form. They have carried their qualification form into the warm-ups over the last few weeks, and are displaying the right attitude and desire. And this means that fans are now again excited about their team. The defence of the team has proved to be unquestionable under Tite with a clean sheet in 16 games out of 21 games. From the middle to the front the performance of the new version of the “magic square”, formed by Neymar, Gabriel Jesus, Willian and Philippe Coutinho, has been indisputable. This tactic has been productive for the attack and it is the individual quality of the players that has brought the results.

  • Globo Brings Russian Culture to Brazil for World Cup Coverage
    Globo Brings Russian Culture to Brazil for World Cup Coverage 06.26.2018 With the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia underway, prominent networks in Latin America-including DirecTV, Globo, ESPN and Fox Sports-are using magic, humor, music and pride to position campaigns around the excitement soccer brings, and the networks' capacity to offer fans the best content anytime, anyplace. Here, Brief digs into Globo's marketing strategy for the World Cup. Brazilian network Globo went with a comedic campaign that delivers some Russian culture to viewers, and uses music as a hook. "At Globo, we are in constant motion, following what happens in Brazil and around the world, and always maintaining a very close relationship with our audience. We focused on emphasizing the joy and excitement of covering the World Cup by connecting Brazil and Russia through a light-hearted and entertaining campaign that uses music-a universal cultural expression-to mix the two cultures," says Leandro Castilho, creative director at Globo. Globo produced special programming to bring a bit of Russia's spirit into Brazil. An example is As Matrioshkas (The Matrioshkas), a program hosted by journalist Glenda Kozlowski, who traveled to Russia along with the mothers of Brazilian players Neymar, Gabriel Jesus and Fernandinho. Globo's studios also have a LED-based stage, which turns guests and members of the audience into figures of a tactical table. The network also worked with traditional Russian musicians and instruments, such as the balalaika and the accordion, to create a new version of the song Coração Verde e Amarelo (Green and Yellow Heart) composed by Tavito and Aldir Blanc.

Toni kroos and manchester city looking for a new feature so it and ronaldo gives the The ball definitely crosses the line, but Asensio looks to have been fouled in the build up. Benzema is always an option as the team progresses to attacking the goal. Ramos again showed nerves of steel to chip the ball into the net from the spot after a VAR review for a handball by defender Marc Bartra, who appeared to have been pushed by visiting forward Borja Mayoral. The Morocco striker also scored a treble two weeks ago. It is understood that with Benzema playing, he is the first line of attack amongst the BBC trio. The two goals made him the top French scorer in La Liga history surpassing Zidane. They also played out a scoreless draw in the WSL Cup in December that ended with a United triumph in a penalty shootout. But with just one minute go until halftime, Antlers grabbed a lifeline.

Along with the other teams in Group E, Switzerland will be aiming realistically for a second place finish behind Brazil.
