World Cup 2014 in Brazil: Hands up!

No World Cup! Firstly Brazil should resolve the social problems

If the World Cup in Brazil was any good I would go to the streets to march ! supporting the cause. But the truth is ! it’s not . Brazil will be a South Africa Part II. Overpricing ‘cloudy’ in the works, ‘bleeding’ on public money leaving a poor legacy to the country.

Indeed, this has been the keynote of FIFA. Choose developing nations to host World Cups with hidden and extremely suspicious intentions. Even as Netherlands, Belgium, Spain and England have almost completed 90% of the structure to host a World Cup, in these countries the FIFA could not profit his invoices at work behind the scenes, while countries like Brazil (South Africa Part II), Russia (2018) and Qatar (2022) will have to spend a fortune to deliver a Pharaonic structure to host a World Cup – and FIFA will not pay any tax to organize the event in these soils..

About Brazil World Cup 2014, with the election of Dilma Rousseff for the Presidency, the connections of the teammates of ex-President Luis Inacio “Lula” da Silva with the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) and the eternal president of entity, the ‘Godfather’ Ricardo Teixeira – the man who walked away the Brazilian national team of brazilian people and transformed the national team in a business desk – will remain intact until the World Cup 2014. CBF got what wanted.

As in South Africa, the legacy in Brazil will be dark. A South African fellow who works at The Daily Mercury told me that the average attendance of South African Football League 2010/11 in modern and big stadiums from the last World Cup has been only 5.000 fans per game. In Brazil, one of the venues will be in the Amazonas region, where they intend to redesign the ‘Vivaldão’ Stadium to receive 40,000 people, but the regional football league of the Amazonas has an average audience of 1.000 fans per game and the cost to maintenance of a stadium with FIFA’s Standard post-World Cup is very high. Football Clubs from Amazonas usually disputing Brazilian Third Division and the modest average attendance is incompatible to keep and make the correct maintenance of a FIFA standard Stadium. Who will pay this bill? Blatter will not, not even Samsung and Coca-Cola …

The press has an obligation to oversee everything and don’t believe in plans such as an anti-corruption commission that FIFA are creating. An institution to create a committee to monitor itself is like choosing the jury trial itself…
