VOICE-OVER SCRIPT:

IN THIS CONCRETE JUNGLE THAT IS SAO PAULO THERE IS A SONG.

ITS RHYTHM IS THE TRAFFIC.

FOOD IS ITS BEAT.

THE SOUL OF THE TUNE IS FOOTBALL.

NO DOUBT PEOPLE ARE EXCITED TO HAVE THE WORLD CUP IN BRAZIL. BUT IT IS MORE THAN THAN THAT. JUST AS BRAZILIANS OPEN THEIR TABLES TO THEIR FRIENDS TO SHARE A BOTTLE OF BEER AND FOOD. MANY PEOPLE HERE ARE JUST AS HAPPY TO OPEN THEIR COUNTRY TO NEW COMERS.

SOUNDBITE (Voice of Translator) Thais Andreoti Tuchumantes, Brazilian:

“I am now loving the idea. I have some Russian friends who came over.”

SAO PAULO, ONE OF 12 CITIES IN THE COUNTRY HOSTING THE WORLD CUP, IS A GRITTY PLACE COVERED IN GRAFFITI, CHOKED WITH TRAFFIC. THE WORLD CUP HERE HAS ITS SKEPTICS AS WELL.

SOUNDBITE (Voice of Translator) Kleber Kouydjian, Brazilian:

“Maybe its the wrong time. Brazil is still very needy of infrastructure. I think the investment should have gone first into infrastructure to guarantee Brazil’s growth.”

STILL DESPITE SOME WELL PUBLISED RIOTS OPPOSING THE WORLD CUP, TOURISTS ARE FLOCKING TO THE PLACE, LOOKING FOR A CHANCE TO SEE THEIR TEAM, IN THE CASE OF KARL BOOTH AND HIS FRIENDS THAT WOULD BE ENGLAND, WHILE ALSO DRINKING IN SOME LOCAL CULTURE.

SOUNDBITE (English) Karl Booth, Traveled from England:

“For me of course it is worth it, Brazil is beautiful county, always wanted to come here. See what everything’s about.”

ALL OF THEM, THE NAYSAYERS OF THE GAMES, THE SUPER FANS, THE COMMON PEOPLE ON THE STREET WILL IT IS ALMOST A CERTAINTY KNOW THESE GAMES HAVE COME AND WILL BE WATCHING, EVEN IF IT IS OUT OF THE CORNER OF THEIR EYE, THIS TIME IN THE COUNTRY’S HISTORY.

AND THE TUNE WILL CARRY BEYOND THESE HIGH-RISES IN SAO PAULO, A CITY OF NEARLY 19 MILLION, TO THE REST OF BRAZIL, AND WELL BEYOND THE WORLD, AND ITS FINALE WILL SHOW WHO TAKES HOME ONE OF THE MOST PRIZED AWARDS IN SPORT.
