A draw, then. Brazil opened their World Cup with a 1-1 against Morocco last night, and the city woke up wanting to talk about it.
It was not the start anyone wanted, but Vinícius Júnior’s equaliser kept the unbeaten opening record intact. Sunday is the day to digest it over a long lunch and a cold beer.
And the weather is playing along. At 24°C and mostly dry, this is a proper Rio Sunday — the kind made for the beach, the Lagoa and an unhurried afternoon.
Make the most of it today, because the rain moves in tomorrow. Sunday is the city at its most relaxed, and the calendar is full of gentle, open-air ways to spend it.
