The Truth about the 2014 World Cup

Finally someone with the balls...
Not to mention Platini.

 

Damn.

Calling Fernando

 

But no shortage of alcohol so we would have been okay

 

World Cup better be in Germany next time...

 

Will also probably be cultural disaster when Russia comes around. Another bone-head decision.

 

That's what people said about Ukraine too...

 

Totally different circumstances. Ukraine is not nearly as culturally stubborn as Russia and not to mention as large.

 

Don't you know that racism and nazsim are on the highest level in Ukraine? What did people said about this before the EURO 2012 in Ukraine? I don't really see any difference, will be the same just like in Ukraine. Mark my words.

 

"Rio de Janeiro (AFP) - A secret Brazilian government report lists several security "risks" in having the country host the World Cup this year, including political protest and strikes, O Globo daily said."

I'd love to see how they schedule the games and how the fans would commute within such a massive country. Russia that is

So much for Brazil being one of the emerging superpowers? Was that all propaganda? I really thought it was one of the new giants on the scene and the economy was said to be booming? Maybe I have been listening to the wrong news but when did things degenerate to this point or has it always been this way?

 

will, make not rain a lot then you will be good to go.

 

Yeah the western media will freak out about Russia and get the Russians all riled up and defense in an archaic east v west sort of way from the get go again, but if the Olympics went off reasonably well, I honestly don't know cause I literally could not care less about the olympics, then so should the russian WC. Especially if most games end up played in Moscow and peter.

Still don't expect there to be nearly as many logistical problems or issues for traveling fans as there look to be with Brazil. Especially if this WC ends up a massive embarassment for Brazil.

lol what? You should probably tell some Ukrainians about this. And most of russia that makes it so much larger than Ukraine won't be used for the WC as all of the top class stadiums are in the west, where people actually live.

 

Wow (in a bad way)

What about the Favela cleaning? Is it necessary in BH?

Also, what would you asses the risk of demonstrations arising and turning violent during the WC? Dilma seems to think it's likely with all that money put aside for security.

Either way, I plan to stay as far away from that WC as possible

 

Can you protest long enough for us to fire Löw before you start the tournament?

 

Oh it has been a huge theft, but if it somehow goes relatively smoothly and the tournament is an exciting one, the embarrassment will be less obvious from a far off glance and no thought being put into it. If however the tournament is a little dull, or the issues they're having lead to a number of stadiums being taken off the circuit right before the tourney, or people can't get to certain matches at all so the stands are almost empty, or any number of other really massive calamities happen then that kind of embarrassment will get russia to flood the WC prep with money to ensure a similar catastrophe doesn't occur during their matches.
