The article described and analyzed identity narratives about Brazil conveyed by newspaper O Globo before, during and after the 2014 World Cup. We conducted interpretative analysis focused on non-sports narratives. Our analysis was based on the tradition/modernity duality present in Brazilian identity discourses in the 20th century. As a result, narratives changed throughout the event from an emphasis on our unfinished modernity to another extreme limited to the beauty of our natural characteristics. The discourses were ambivalent and unique while reaffirming some symbolic aspects of the Brazilian people. In summary, O Globo updated images of a Freyrean Brazil whose confluence between race miscegenation, culture, and the geographic environment constituted a particular Brazilian modernity.
