When tourists arrive they will also be stunned by the poverty, high prices and dishonesty of taxi drivers and Brazilians in general. I only hope not many people will be robbed or killed during their stay. It is also common practice in this country to stay in line before a show, and in this casa a soccer match days before because otherwise driving to the stadium would be unthinkable minutes before. Foreigners will be really stunned when they find out what was done for this unforgettable World Cup with so many billions of dollars; that is why Brazilians are protesting years in advance!

I thought a 'brazuca' was another word for a bunda!
Y'know ... nice and round.

Have they tested to see if the balls can withstand the impact of falling masonry? :D

I hate the brazuca word. It seems dumb to my ears.
