The World Cup begins today — and São Paulo opens it properly, with 21°C and 86% rain. The city is wet, the bars are getting their screens ready, and Mexico vs South Africa kicks off at the Azteca at 4 pm BRT. This is an indoor day by any definition.
Live on Globo, SporTV and GE TV. The Paulista corridor is open — MASP, IMS Paulista, Japan House, Itaú Cultural, Pinacoteca — which makes a morning museum visit and an afternoon bar a very good Thursday structure.
The Ibovespa fell back on Wednesday — -0.7% to 168,619 points — pulled by a global sell-off (Dow -1.87%, Nasdaq -1.98%). The dollar closed near flat. The index has failed to hold 169,000 for two sessions running.
Saturday: Brazil vs Morocco, MetLife Stadium, NJ, 7 pm BRT. SP forecast 22°C / 25% rain — good bar conditions. Book your table today; they fill tonight.
