Sport and Mega-Event Impacts

This article is located in the field of studies about football and its relations with contemporary culture. In this sense one defined the America Cup 2007 as a corpus to investigate the empirical discursive productions that concern the Brazilian National Team under the command of coach Dunga. This event was treated, by much of the national sports media, as a major test for the Brazilian National Football Team, after the leaving the World Cup 2006. Using the methodology of analysis of discourse from the perspective suggested by Michel Foucault, this paper makes a study of media discourse in the Brazilian National Team during the competition where the Team is surges as champion, winning at the final the Argentina Team by 3 X 0. As a conclusion of the study, one points to the media field as an area where it was produced and circulated a discursive plurality which established a dispute between different identities possibilities for the Brazilian National Team.
