Ancelotti has restored belief, but can Brazil end 24-year World Cup drought?

Published by Webster

6 min readMexico CityUpdated: Jun 13, 2026 06:30 AM IST A band of Brazil fans in their canary yellow shirts, their names printed on the back, were wading through a stream of Mexicans, before the World Cup’s opening game at the Azteca. Their transit in Mexico City from Sao Paulo, en route to Brazil’s first game in New Jersey, against Morocco, has a superstitious purpose. “Back home, we visit the church, attend the mass before we set out for something important. Azteca is a shrine for us Brazilians, it’s where we won our greatest World Cup (1970),” says Rafael, in his late 20s, and attending his first World Cup. The World Cup drought, running 24 years, has turned Brazil’s fans fatalists, increasingly reading into the dots of destiny and accident of fate. Their previous longest wait for World Cup glory was 24 years too, and it ended on American soil too. The last time the tournament was co-hosted (by Japan and South Korea in 2002), they won it too. In 1970, they played with a …

Why Chennai’s Victoria Public Hall deserves to be restored

Why Chennai’s Victoria Public Hall deserves to be restored

Published by Parlour News

V.P. Hall, as seen from the Park Town station Poor Victoria Public Hall. The path to its restoration and eventual use appears to be under fire. The latest in the saga of its conservation and rededication as a city centre is the sudden barrage of bad press it received in the last few days. Do we need so much (₹40 crore) to be spent on this building was the query raised. With elections to the State Assembly imminent, such questions have the potential to cause disquiet. But there can be no two answers. The city’s hall deserves this restoration. There are certain symbols that must be maintained, and this is one of them. The irony is that V.P. Hall is among the few heritage restoration projects of the government which has a revenue model in sight. That is more than can be said about its predecessors. The University Senate House, which was the first significant restoration, in which I was involved as a mere fly on the wall, cost ₹11 crore, much of it crowdfunded. …
