Disclaimer & comment rulesIt is now becoming a worry . Work has still not started on improving mayor airports , Sao Paulo in particular is awful , nor on hotels or other infrastructure . Do the Brazilians know , or understand , what it means to host the World Cup or Olympics ? It is not a Carnival .
Nov 27th, 2012 - 10:56 pm - Link - Report abuse 0In relation to crime I wouldn't be surprised if it dropped for the competition. It did in South Africa - I assume because the crooks got drawn into the celebration as much as everyone else did. However it won't be good if stadiums are unfinished prior to kick off - but there's always these worries for big events and it never seems to happen - other than maybe the Commonwealth Games in India.

Nov 28th, 2012 - 03:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I make Burn1938 my words and I would add... Yes Brazilian cucaratchas that control the government and have power there DO know how to handle but they prefer to steal, fraud, commit crimes, and lie. They are only focused in their criminal ideologies learned by Dilma, Lula, Palocci, and all these Guerrilero-Terrorists in the 70's during their training programs in Cuba by the famous dictator and criminal Fidel Castro. So... If the world wants to be 'nice' with these terrorists and even teach them how to promote the 'systemic fraud' which is the political and governmental system they created, it is up to the world. What can we do? Lula is a former prisoner by the Police in Brazil, his nickname 'Lula' was giving by criminals while he was in jail for fraud, corruption, and terrorism in the 80's. Same thing Hugo Chavez, same thing Fidel Castro, same thing Cristina Kirchner (montonera Terrorist), Dilma Rousseff hijacked an American Embassador in Rio in the 70's. They all were in jail, they all were considered criminals by the Army and the Police of Brazil, Argentina, and Venezuela and now that they have total power there they are proving that they should have never escaped from Prison, but the world does not care, the world goes to Brazil and invest in 'soccer games' and are spending billions of dollars for the local governments to do money laundry, anti-white campaigns, anti-American campaigns, anti-European campaigns, pro-enslavement campaigns (the famous Brazilian cheap labor that their own government takes total profit of), and so many other disgraces of Third World that the whole world seem to love and admire today as the 'new global normal'. Let's the whole world be Brazil!
