Brazil's inequality summed up in stark World Cup image

Social media users share image first taken during last year's Confederations Cup showing host nation's 'two faces'


World Cup 2014 hosts Brazil may have got off to the perfect start in the tournament, but one image has bought into sharp relief the stark levels of inequality that blight the country.
Captioned 'the two faces of Brazil' or Las dos caras de Brasil in Spanish, the photograph posted on Twitter, shows Brazilian football fans throwing rubbish into a dustbin inhabited by a young woman.
The image has been shared widely since it was posted on Thursday evening. It was originally taken during the Confederation's Cup tournament held in Brazil last year.
Its re-emergence is further evidence of a backlash against the staging of World Cup among many ordinary Brazilians who are angy at the country's decision spend lavishly on the tournament when the government is being forced to make tough economic decisions.
