THE World Cup is just a few days away. It is billed as the greatest show in football. The five-week, global tournament brings together 32 teams in 12 stadiums and costs billions and billions of dollars.
As the world watches on, there are people that aren't cheering along.
On the streets of the host cities, many are furious and believe the huge cost of staging the event would have been better spent on infrastructure, education and health care.
The graffiti sprawled across the walls of Brazilian cities shows an insight into the real cost of a World Cup on a struggling country.
