The time has come.
The world waits no more.
It begins now.

Protest-ants!
Airport workers in Rio are
currently on a 24 hour strike! Ouch,
this could be bad. There are daily
protests around the country. Most are peaceful...until today. Some get results. The general complaint is that FIFA and the
Brazillian government are staging this tournament, throwing BILLIONS of
dollars around, but the regular folks don’t’ see any of it.
Oh geez. THIS JUST IN…..
Police in the
Brazilian city of Sao Paulo have used tear gas to break up a protest against
the football World Cup, hours before the opening match.
 At least one person was arrested and five
others were injured, three of them journalists.
Protesters
had tried to block a road leading to the stadium where the opening ceremony
will take place.
In
another development, striking airport workers in Rio de Janeiro blocked a
road outside the airport, demanding a wage increase and a World Cup bonus.
The
strike was to have lasted for 24 hours but union leaders called it off early
for legal reasons.
Striking
teachers also staged a rally in Rio city centre, further disrupting traffic.
What the? What?

tempo de Música
As part of the official World Cup album, Carlos Santana has teamed up with Wyclef Jean, Avicii and Alexandre Pires to bring you the anthem Dar um Jeito (We Will Find a Way).
Producer
Ash
Pournouri said that : ‘In Portuguese ‘Dar Um Jeito’ means to
find a way around obstacles and impossibilities. With this track, we wanted
to send a message of optimism and opportunity with the music and the words…We
wanted to create the biggest track in the world for the biggest event in the
world’.
Carlos may not be at his top game here, but any Carlos is better than most. It's a good song with a great message.
Payback is Beach
Tomorrow brings the most anticipated battle of Group Play.

before!)
