A draw, and a lot to talk about. Brazil opened their World Cup with a 1-1 against Morocco last night, and São Paulo has been arguing about it since the final whistle.
It was a shaky start, rescued by Vinícius Júnior’s equaliser. Sunday is the day to chew it over on a walk down a car-free Avenida Paulista.
The weather is on side, too. At 21°C and mostly dry, this is the warm, easy Sunday the city’s parks and open streets were made for.
And the whole of Paulista belongs to people today, not cars. Add the Minhocão and Ibirapuera, and São Paulo turns into one big open-air room for the day.
