Los pobres del fútbol: los que no se llaman Neymar
El equipo verde-amarillo, que se estrena en la Copa del Mundo de 2014 el próximo jueves frente a Croacia, es la parte más visible de un deporte tan desigual como la sociedad a la que representa. La élite brasileña del balón es joven y globalizada: 17 de los 23 convocados compiten en el torneo por primera vez, y 18 juegan en ligas extranjeras. El equipo tiene el mayor valor de mercado de todos los que participan en el Mundial, más de 700 millones de dólares, según la consultora Pluri.

EU10 Regular Economic Report July 2010
The recovery from the global financial crisis continued in 2010, but the rebound is feeble and fragile. In the emerging economies of Asia and Latin America, global activity is picking up solidly supported by strong domestic demand and a resumption of trade flows. In advanced economies, the United States and Japan are leading the recovery as confidence has picked up among consumers, businesses and in financial markets. In Europe, which was more severely affected by the crisis than other regions, the economies have stabilized and, for the first time since the start of the global financial crisis, have returned to growth in 2010 Year-on-year growth in the EU10 region improved from -2.1 percent in the fourth quarter of 2009 to 0.8 percent in the first quarter of 2010, in line with the improvement from -1.9 percent to 0.6 percent over the same period in the EU15 region.
