Protesters cheer as they hold signs during the Confederations Cup Group A soccer match between Brazil and Mexico at the Estadio Castelao in Fortaleza June 19, 2013. The demonstrations started as small protests in a few cities against an increase in bus and subway fares but quickly ballooned into a national movement.

The signs read, "This protest is not against the soccer team, but against corruption". REUTERS/Jorge Silva (BRAZIL - Tags: SPORT SOCCER CIVIL UNREST POLITICS) less
