Hello, I'm Hayley with a special World Cup Newsround. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:11 | |
We've got all the action from Brazil ahead of the start | 0:00:11 | 0:00:14 | |
of the tournament. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:15 | |
But for all the excitement, the build-up to the World Cup | 0:00:15 | 0:00:17 | |
hasn't been easy. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:18 | |
There have been protests over the amount of money being spent | 0:00:18 | 0:00:21 | |
on hosting the event. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:22 | |
Leah is in Rio and has sent us this report. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:42 | |
There are streets like this everywhere, | 0:00:42 | 0:00:43 | |
flags draped outside people's window sills, entire neighbourhoods | 0:00:43 | 0:00:45 | |
decorated in the colours of Brazil. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
Looking around, it seems like people are excited about | 0:00:47 | 0:00:49 | |
the World Cup, but streets like this don't tell the whole story. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
Last summer more than a million people took to the streets | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
to protest about the amount of public money being spent on | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
the tournament by the government. | 0:00:57 | 0:00:58 | |
It was the biggest demonstration in Brazil for 30 years. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
This man is one of them. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:02 | |
The problem is not the World Cup itself, the way it is organised, | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
the way it is structured. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:07 | |
For instance, the whole money that was put into the stadiums and | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
everything, they could have been invested in education or health. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:15 | |
We have a lot of problems that we could solve with this money. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:20 | |
The protests are not over and we're going to return to | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
the streets and, with other movements, we want to see a change. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
Last summer saw some of the biggest protests here in Rio | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
for a long time. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
While there is some genuine excitement about the competition, | 0:01:31 | 0:01:35 | |
now the tournament has arrived all eyes will be waiting to see how | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
the rest of the Brazil reacts to having the World Cup on home soil. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:46 | |
Now along with shootouts and hope and despair, this World Cup | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
promises a number of new things. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
It's the first time goal-line technology will be used and there's | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
some other more unusual changes too, here's BBC Sport's Dan Walker. | 0:01:54 | 0:02:09 | |
Not shaving foam everybody, free-kick foam. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
Let me show you how it works. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:12 | |
Because, let's say you get a free-kick here. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
The referee will then pace out 10 yards and then, with his magic | 0:02:14 | 0:02:17 | |
little bottle, will mark a line on the pitch to tell the opposition | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
they cannot pass that line. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
The crazy things is, that is vanishing foam. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:23 | |
So in a couple of minutes it will all disappear without a trace. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:27 | |
You lot have been telling us how much you've been looking forward to | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
the World Cup, starting on the website. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:31 | |
Lucy, in London, says: | 0:02:31 | 0:02:36 | |
Zoe, in Aylesbury, says: | 0:02:36 | 0:02:43 | |
Finally, using sea creatures as fortune-tellers seems to be | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
turning into a World Cup tradition. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:47 | |
Meet Big Head, the sea turtle, who made a prediction | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
for the opening match. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:50 | |
Surprise, surprise he seems to have chosen Brazil. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:54 | |
That's all from me. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:55 | |
Newsround's back tomorrow morning from 7.40am with even more | 0:02:55 | 0:02:57 | |
from the World Cup. | 0:02:57 | 0:02:58 | |
Goodnight. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:01 |
