The World Cup which has been the source of much discussion over the last few months has finally begun. The first games have been played and millions of tourists from all over the world have celebrated together with Brazilians. We would like to invite you to evaluate this great event, as well as to share your thoughts and impressions of the World Cup. The search for a legacy continues being interesting.

The authors of our magazine ´The Legacy of the World Cup´ will also dedicate themselves to this question, emphasizing, from different points of view, the pros and cons of the World Cup. We invite you all, together with some of the authors, to evaluate this mega event as well as preparation for the Olympics that will be carried out in Rio de Janeiro in 2016.
