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. | |
