Good afternoon guys - Leah here live in Rio.

:00:00.:00:00.

The World Cup may be winding down for team England,

:00:00.:00:00.

but it's definitely still hotting up over in Brazil.

:00:07.:00:17.

Yes, we're live from Copacabana Beach in Rio.

:00:18.:00:20.

England's final game of the tournament kicks off

:00:21.:00:22.

in just over half an hour and we've got more on that coming up.

:00:23.:00:26.

But joining me now are two of the Brazilian fans we've met

:00:27.:00:30.

We're about halfway through - has the World Cup lived up to

:00:31.:00:43.

A little bit. Brazil could have been better. Yes, because Brazil has the

:00:44.:01:02.

support of the country. Of coffee fans are right behind team Brazil at

:01:03.:01:05.

last night and their amazing victory over Cameroon. And we will be

:01:06.:01:10.

talking more about that because you guys were watching that game. They

:01:11.:01:14.

will be playing Chile in the knockout stages. How did you find

:01:15.:01:19.

their performance? It was good but it could have been a better score. I

:01:20.:01:27.

think it was Brazil it -- brilliant because Brazil one. One of the

:01:28.:01:38.

things I love about much day is the Brazilian flag and the atmosphere

:01:39.:01:41.

inside the stadium last night, which we rate -- which really was

:01:42.:01:43.

electric. Of course, last night

:01:44.:01:44.

the host nation won their group with They'll now play Chile

:01:45.:01:47.

in the knockouts. Very quickly, what did you guys

:01:48.:01:50.

think of last night?s performance? But away from the stadiums, I've

:01:51.:01:57.

been finding out that Brazil is still a country where there's

:01:58.:02:00.

a big gap between those with money You can see more pictures of Leah's

:02:01.:02:03.

trip to the favela Welcome to Rio. Home of the big

:02:04.:02:15.

spenders. Brazil is now the seventh richest country in the world, and

:02:16.:02:18.

for many in this city, it means living a life of luxury. For younger

:02:19.:02:23.

girls here, the more money you have, the bigger a party you can throw.

:02:24.:02:28.

Debutante balls are huge birthday parties thrown for 15-year-old girls

:02:29.:02:33.

by the richest families in Brazil. Tens of thousands of pounds splashed

:02:34.:02:37.

out on venues, dressers and celebrity guests. All for one night.

:02:38.:02:43.

Julia and her friends have been to several of these parties. What are

:02:44.:02:48.

they like? usually, there is a theme for the party. They have attractions

:02:49.:02:53.

based on the theme. We once went to a party based on a circus. They had

:02:54.:02:57.

people doing tricks. They had jugglers, too. Sometimes you don't

:02:58.:03:06.

know the girl but you go anyway. There has to be a good DJ and well

:03:07.:03:15.

decorated. Be just a stone's throwaway, is one of real's famous

:03:16.:03:21.

novellas. One in five of the city's residents live in a favela. They are

:03:22.:03:27.

homes packed together in a sprawling maze of streets and alleyways.

:03:28.:03:30.

Although these communities are often called slums, homes are made of

:03:31.:03:35.

cement and break and the vast majority of people have electricity

:03:36.:03:40.

and running water. Raphael has lived in the Dona Mata favela his whole

:03:41.:03:45.

life. Can you describe to us what life is like here? It looks very

:03:46.:03:50.

colourful. I have freedom to play here, to play with kites and to play

:03:51.:03:55.

football. . It was not safe some years ago because of the crime. Do

:03:56.:03:59.

you ever think about life away from here? Sometimes I would prefer to

:04:00.:04:05.

live in the streets. But here, I have a lots of fun. I can play

:04:06.:04:10.

football anywhere, imagine being football in these buildings!

:04:11.:04:13.

Football can change your reality. You can be part -- proud of playing

:04:14.:04:18.

football and have a good future. For years, favela is like this work the

:04:19.:04:23.

act to poverty and violence. Although the gap between rich and

:04:24.:04:27.

bow across Brazil is still huge, children alike Raphael and Julia,

:04:28.:04:31.

although living, legally separate lives, have the same hopes and

:04:32.:04:36.

dreams for the future. While some consider these places to be slums,

:04:37.:04:41.

life is changing here in Dona Mata. Of course, the children of the

:04:42.:05:03.

favelas, have the best view of Rio. England kick their final game in

:05:04.:05:06.

:05:07.:05:10.

straight back home afterward. Throughout this tournament may been

:05:11.:05:13.
