Fuliminese vs Flamengo: A War of the Classes at the Maracana

The clash between Fuliminese and Flamengo at the Maracana stadium is a clear battle between the wealthy and poor. Brazil's economic strife has ensured that getting tickets is a struggle for the common man. The manager at the stadium admits that financial restrictions have lowered the comfort levels. This was the same venue where Brazil lost the 1950 final to Uruguay, a match watched by a then ten-year-old Pele. (Video courtesy: SID Marketing)
