The biggest protests Brazil has seen decades are taking place its streets. Many them are happening soccer stadiums. Brazil is currently hosting the Confederations Cup – a FIFA World Cup test event. While Brazil's team beat Mexico 2-0 Tuesday night, thousands protesters were the streets the stadium. There were 100,000 more people protesting Brazil at the same time. They are unhappy with many things life their country. The protests started last week Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paolo because an increase bus fares. They soon spread the country. People are also angry the cost the 2014 World Cup, poor public services, and corruption.

Protests the country are getting bigger and bigger. The police are taking tougher actions to control the crowds. Police used rubber bullets, tear gas and beatings, which have made the people angrier. Many the protestors want the government to spend more money health and education and less the World Cup. The BBC reported seeing a banner that read: "A teacher is worth more than Neymar" (Brazil's star player). One the banners in the crowd the Brazil-Mexico game asked FIFA (the World Cup organisers) to bring hospitals to Brazil instead stadiums. Another Brazilian star, striker Hulk, said: "After seeing the people the streets…it makes me feel like joining them. They are doing the right thing."
