What does a monthly Brazilian sports magazine "Placar" focus on?
"Placar" (English: Score) is a monthly Brazilian sports magazine. Its first edition was issued on March 20, 1970, and since then it has become the most successful sports publication in Brazil, even though it focuses fully on football.
It was launched just before the 1970 World Cup, in order to fill the void of a national publication about the sport, and Pelé (Brazilian former professional footballer born 23 October 1940) was featured on the cover of the first edition, which sold almost 200,000 copies.
During the 1994 World Cup, special editions were launched after every game the Brazilian national team played.

Brazil and football go together like tea and biscuits

The title of the magazine being Score should tell you what's covered inside.

Christopher Skinner,
Must we rehash, like children, this tiresome subject EVERY TIME the words "soccer" or "football" come up? Good grief! Please give it a rest.

Joris, if you're translating the word alone, you don't need to use the article 'o', unless you're translating a phrase. Football translates to futebol, just and plain.
