FIFA secretary general Jérôme Valcke has appointed his son Sébastien as FIFA Assistant General Coordinator in Rio. Nepotism for the win...

South Africa's advice for Brazil: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-27731564 Has anyone seen any actual responses as to why The CBF wanted 12 stadiums? In reality they wanted to build more than 12, but compromised against FIFA's 8.
She`s probably had a catfight with Claudia Leite. Why do you need more than one person to sing a WC song anyway. Get rid of Pitbull too. JLo is aPeurto Rican New Yorker and Pitbull is Americano, WTF???!!!
Pasted from closed thread - I hope you make the century +10. Insane profit! I hope the spectacle, even partially, lives up to hype but I anticipate lots of buses, some magic and 1 0r 2 surprises.
Manaus pitch looking pretty bad 3 days before it's opening game. FIFA said they were worried about 7 of the fields. http://www.businessinsider.com/manaus-world-cup-stadium-pitch-2014-6
All the Copa Music has been entirely disappointing. And I'm not talking about the "official" trash that FIFA put out. Even my favorite brasileiro (not named Jorge Ben) Zeca Pagodinho let me down. I saw 1 samba/pagode type performance on Fantastico that was good, but I didnt recognize the guy when I turned it on.
I liked K-naans waving flag it is pretty hard to match even though the way fifa edited the song was egregious. Most of the Brazilian stuff has sucked, you are right about that.
