Brazil world cup

I personally believe that all games should have at least a minutes silence for the workers who have lost/or could lose their lives in building the stadia , I know it wont mean much to the familes, but i feel it is appropriate

It's become a joke, FIFA is a joke and this World Cup is a joke. It's going to kick right off when it starts mark my words

They should definitely get a mention for the opening game

great post legendary player Romario is now a politician in Brazil, he has been very vocal in supporting the protest movement over the governments' commitment to put the WC first. He is a true patriot and knows how much money has been wasted on what is essentially just a game. The Favelas (slum areas) get larger every passing year.

Pele, Ronaldo says it's what the public want & that football is what is most important to Brazilian society. Pele especially is now just a FIFA lacky.

From the radio programme I listened to about this, they even destroyed a school next to one of the stadiums so that it may be modernized, and the school had no help to get moved elsewhere, one example that I know and there must be thousands of stories like this...But while the community gains a state-of-the art stadium that will be filled by 8,000 people for club football, the children of poor families have to travel god knows how far to another one!

Congratulation Blatter, you big tw*t

ooh forgot to mention the 80,000 state-of-the art luxury stadium in the capital Brasilia that doesn't even have a top flight club football team

"You host a WC with stadiums not hospitals." (Ronaldo a.k.a el fenomeno)
He's not wrong, but very out of touch with the common man.

"Pele is a poet when he keeps his mouth shut." (Romario)

96% of the construction costs ($3.6 billion) has come the public funds, transport has not been improved to make a lasting impact after WC has gone.

in all fairness though its not blatters fault. he's just said "who wants the world cup?" its the brazilian govt who have said "we have no money and no resources but what the hell?!"

yes totally agree with you it's not all Blatter's fault...FIFA knew they would make a killing in backhanders where new stadia is built to meet the 'standard' just like South Africa. There was violent protests at the Confederations Cup about miss-management of public funds. Will be interesting to see what happens and how harsly they plan to quelle demo's.

I agreed with Blatter about women's footballers wearing shorter shorts and tighter tops though The feminists hated Blatter for that but it's true it would be good for Women's football interest generally...Nobody says women's athletes should cover-up more

Anyone interested this is Brazilan report from yesterday

Public transport fares go up, starts a riot
