Many think the country is either going to see the comeback of Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, marking a second pink tide of progressive South American governments and the return of the Workers’ Party (PT), removed from power after President Dilma Rousseff’s impeachment in 2016.

There may be an element of truth to…

CNN  —  In the spring, all seemed well for Liverpool. The team had won the League Cup and the FA Cup, was going toe-to-toe with Manchester City in the English Premier League, and had reached the Champions League final. For weeks there was talk of history as Jurgen Klopp’s men, famously called “mentality monsters” by the manager, were in contention for all four major trophies until the very end of the season.
