Question

Despite some pre-tournament concern about how the country would cope with the demands during the World Cup, the atmosphere on the evening of the final match left no doubts it had succeeded. Tens of thousands of Argentinians mingled with Brazilians and international fans on Copacabana, drinking, dancing and singing. “We showed that our people know how to have good interaction not only among ourselves but with the foreigners that we received”, said president Dilma Rousseff on the eve of the final.

She was right: Brazil was an intoxicating and welcoming host, providing the platform for a fantastic football feast. And as is always the case with World Cups, it was the people who made the atmosphere and the football that dictated the mood. If Germany in 2006 felt like a good-natured gathering of the European clans, then Brazil was its equivalent for South and Central America. Huge tribes of Colombians, Costa Ricans, Uruguayans, Mexicans and — most visibly — Argentinians slept on the beaches, on benches, in hostels and upmarket hotels. Brazilians welcomed them all with open arms, and they all went away with a better understanding of the country and it of them.
