Laughs!
I will show a video of Belo Horizonte-MG, one of the venues of the World Cup.

The video is in Portuguese. Especially because 85% of tourists are Brazilians themselves.
@2 How can 85% of tourists be Brazilian? Talked to all of them have you? “Do you live here”? Yes, not a tourist. The first two and half million are NOT tourists. Are there any latams that DON'T lie.
May 14th, 2014 - 11:49 am - Link - Report abuse 0Now working to try to reduce “expected” tourists from 600,000 to 600. Lives must be saved. If Brazil wasn't so greedy, it would cancel and admit the event was beyond it.
Are you too stupid to understand that Brazil is a continent in itself.
May 14th, 2014 - 12:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Brazil is larger than all Europe together, except Russia.
Therefore, Brazilian tourists traveling thousands and thousands of kilometers within Brazil itself.
@4 Forgive Conqueror he mixed up his medication and took Laxative instead of Xanex.

Brazil is now a separate continent?!?!?!
May 14th, 2014 - 02:08 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Has the UN been informed?
Wtf!
“We're a very generous people. We're going to welcome and treat well everyone who comes here to celebrate.”
May 14th, 2014 - 04:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Dilma should have gone on to say that those who murder and rob these visitors should expect the full rigour of the law to be exacted by the Polica: so that means triple the back-hander’s NOT to put murderers in jail.
First World Country, yeah, NOT!
´“If people want to protest, they can perfectly well do so, but democracy does not signify vandalism nor harming the rest of the population,” Rousseff said during a visit to the construction site of the Sao Francisco River diversion.´
May 14th, 2014 - 06:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Pfffft... or what, Madame President? You´re gonna go after them with those policemen who are threatening strikes? That ought to be entertaining.
Do you have to be an ex terrorist to run a country in LATAM? Did she protest when in a terrorist organisation?
May 14th, 2014 - 06:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@4 Brazil isn't even a proper country. It's not unlike argieland. Veneer is a bit thicker. As are Brazilians. Speaks a vernacular of Portuguese. Unintelligible. Has to ask Britain how to land troops on a hostile shore. More than enough naval vessels to catch fish. “Oh look, we've got a firework we can shoot into the sky!”. But I can do that every 5th November.
May 14th, 2014 - 07:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@5 If it's still Klinging on, try toilet paper. Like civilised people. Or newspaper. Or leaves. Avoid your hands. Or, if you must, avoid licking them clean. I do take medication. There's the one to reduce my high blood pressure whenever I think of argieland. There's the analgesic that stops me feeling any pain when argies die. Due to the free NHS that analgesic is so effective that the thought of 100 million argies being slaughtered causes me no problems whatsoever. In fact, I want to see the videos. I want to see argie arms, legs, hands, feet and heads scattered in piles across across thousands of square miles. Kill 255 of our troops would you? Here's the price. 500 million argie dismembered corpses left to rot. You arses invaded OUR land. You tried to enforce your will on OUR people. So many years for you to pay. And pay. And pay. You have no idea what you owe. 255 British servicemen? 1 billion rotting argie corpses. That's what you owe. And, in time, we will take those corpses and feed them to sealife. Can you feel the hate?
And don't any numpty arsehole try to tell me different. Friends of mine died there. The only “good” argie is an eviscerated while alive (first), dismembered while alive and executed argie.
Dilma is crapping herself. While I do not condone violent protests in which innocent bystanders get hurt, or businesses get destroyed by vandals, I hope that the protests are numerous and that the foreign press has a field day registering all the dirt that the Federal Government and the PT would love to sweep under the carpet. The police will no doubt be instructed to be on their best behaviour, which means they will not want to be filmed while going about their busisness. Wouldn't be surprised to this develop into complete chaos on the streets.
May 20th, 2014 - 10:36 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The Police are going on strike.
May 21st, 2014 - 01:24 am - Link - Report abuse 0So that just leaves the Army, who are not trained in Public Order controll. Just 'shoot to kill' or 're-taking' the favelas.
Oh Joy!
Did London need to 're-take' 20% of its' population in order to host the Olympics?
My bet is the Olympics will be cancelled in Brazil once the World Cup farce is over.
Brazil should have invested the money in becoming a First World
Country before attempting to 'play' on the world stage.
