Rio de Janeiro, 1970s and 1980s. It is to this period that the public will be transported from June 13th with the premiere of 'The Game that Changed History', an Original Globoplay series inspired by the history of factions real and immersed in reality. There are three favelas in which the plot takes place, the fictional Padre Nosso, Parada Geral and Morro da Promessa. Furthermore, the public will be able to follow the war from inside the Ilha Grande prison. Over the course of 10 episodes, published two per week on Thursdays, different plots intertwine.
To tell the story of how organized crime emerged in Rio de Janeiro, the plot begins by presenting some of its protagonists in the prison in Ilha Grande. In this sense, two newcomers to this environment know the rules of this universe along with the public: Egídio (Ravel Andrade), arrested after running over a general's daughter, and Jesus Pedra (Raphael Logam), a beginner prison guard. But from day one, transformation is inevitable for both. “Egídio arrives in this world totally unknown to him, he is a portrait of many young people in society, a character who has an abysmal turn all the way”, points out Ravel Andrade.
In prison, two groups command the place, on one side the “Alligator” phalanx; and on the other, the “Turma do Fundão”, the future “Falange Vermelha”. “He is one of the bosses, one of the central figures in the creation of a faction that will emerge throughout the plot. But Hoffman has charisma, he's a brave, tough guy, a physical fighter. He has his allies, the dominated and his rivals and a coexistence of great respect, fear and friendship with the other prisoners”, anticipates Babu Santana.
José Junior also highlights the importance of bringing these stories to the public , told from other perspectives. “These are events that are rarely portrayed in audiovisual media or are unknown to the vast majority of society. Maybe everyone knows it, but not in a deep way. The protagonists who face the problem are the main characters that we give voice to,” he analyzes. “The vast majority of the cast is made up of black people, from the favelas and northeast, reflecting the Brazilian reality.”
In addition, 'The Game that Changed History' gains even more veracity with real locations, such as the Bangu 1 prison and the favelas Vigário Geral, Parada de Lucas, Dique, Parque Analândia, Rocinha and Complexo da Pedreira, all in Rio. “Making a series in real environments is very rich and full of surprises”, says Heitor Dhalia, director general plot. The native of Pernambuco also says that his immersion in the project was complete, right from the preparation. “It's a somewhat colossal effort, there are 10 episodes, period, with many characters and complex action scenes. All of this required a great deal of immersion in the creative process. I highlight in this dedication the work of preparing the actors and the entire team for the big scenes. I was fascinated by the story. We only know who we are if we know our history”, he adds.

Living a special moment on and off the field, Arrascaeta received great news in his personal life : Flamengo's number 10 will be a father for the first time . This Monday (1st), the star revealed that his wife Camila Bastiani is pregnant with a boy.
On social media, the couple posted the news with the caption: "We're waiting for you, son," accompanied by a blue heart, symbolizing the baby's gender . The pregnancy had already been announced on June 30, indicating that the Flamengo midfielder's son is at least three months old.
The arrival of his first child comes during one of the most memorable years of Arrascaeta's career. By 2025, the Uruguayan has 17 goals and 13 assists in 42 games, figures that put him close to equaling his career-best scoring record for Flamengo , set in 2019 with 18 goals. In terms of assists, his goal is to surpass the 19 he recorded in both 2019 and 2022.
Last Sunday (31), against Grêmio, the number 10 shone again. After exchanging passes with Pedro, he gave a subtle touch, almost like a "snooker shot", leaving no chance for goalkeeper Tiago Volpi . Despite the beauty of the goal, the afternoon ended in a draw, as the opposing goalkeeper himself converted the penalty that decreed the 1-1 draw at Maracanã.
Now, Arrascaeta focuses on defending the Uruguayan National Team in the World Cup Qualifiers . The next commitment will be on Thursday (4), against Peru, at the Centenario Stadium, in Montevideo. Next, on September 9, Uruguay faces Chile, in Santiago.
In a comfortable position in the standings, La Celeste needs just one point out of a possible six to mathematically confirm its place in the World Cup. So far, Argentina, Ecuador, and Brazil have already secured their place , while Chile is the only team with no chance of qualifying.

Samba lost one of its greatest references this Friday (8): Arlindo Cruz passed away at the age of 66 in Rio de Janeiro. Recognized for his vast work with 795 registered compositions, the samba singer marked generations with hits such as “Saudade Louca” and “Boto Meu Povo na Rua” . Born in Madureira, the birthplace of Rio samba, Arlindo was also a passionate Flamengo fan.
His retirement from the stage occurred after suffering a stroke in 2017, which impacted his career and health. Family members confirmed his death, without disclosing the official cause, but emphasized the artist's cultural legacy and his love for soccer, especially for the "Mais Querido" (Most Beloved). The wake will be open to the Rio de Janeiro community.
The son of Arlindão, who had meetings with samba artists like Candeia at home, Arlindo Cruz immersed himself in the musical world from an early age. At 17, he began his professional career as a cavaquinho player on Candeia's 1975 album "Roda de Samba." Over time, he became known for his mastery of the banjo, an instrument he helped popularize in samba and which became his trademark.
A central figure in the founding of the Cacique de Ramos samba circle, the musician rubbed shoulders with greats such as Zeca Pagodinho and Jorge Aragão. With Fundo de Quintal, a legendary samba group, he recorded 10 albums that helped cement the genre . From the 1990s onward, he developed a solo career with successful albums such as "Arlindinho" (1993) and important collaborations with producer Sombrinha.
Madureira, a neighborhood that forged its cultural and musical identity, was the setting for compositions that celebrated everyday life, street smarts, and the richness of Rio's samba. A strong connection to Flamengo was present in his daily life: Arlindo frequented the Maracanã stadium, participated in club events, and received tributes on special occasions , cementing his status as a Flamengo icon.
