    I sincerely hope that none of these world cup stadiums are an accident waiting to happen. It certainly would not be the first time a stadium has collapse with people still in side.

    #2 the real test will come with it is filled to capacity and the stadium is rocking. Unfortunately if it is going to collapse it will happen when it is full.

    “due to lack of approval by the fire department”.

    This is worrying. Seriously.

    70,000 people. And a fire risk.

    Very. Bloody. Scary.

    What a sick twisted individual he is!

    Tell you what, its obvious hes just an Argentine using Brasileiro as his username just to make it look like hes Brazilian and that Brazilians and Argentinians brothers.

    Marcus is the same, when he says he lives in Canada. Though someone obviously forgot to tell him that Canada is not only a commonwealth country with the queen as it's head of state, but that its also not even in South America and that Canadians are our brothers not his or Argentina's brothers!! Now i wonder how much he got in his benefits check this week?

    I must be a bloody mind reader!

    I guessed that is why it was removed.

    Odious little hitlerite.

    It will be a memorable match, with Brasil (no doubt) winning the match.

    SteveR@11 & Teaboy2@12, the “brasileiro” IS unfortunately a brazilian. He is, above all, an envious, despicable, ignorant little prick. He rears his ugly head every now and again to spew non-sensical hatred against foreigners. He has a very narrow-minded perception of Brazilian reality as he prefers to believe everything the PT propaganda says, and does not have the intelligence to filter out the lies. He lives in some 'favela', has never travelled, is suspected of being a transvestite...probably ill and rotting inside, he believes in blaming anyone but himself for his miserable existence. So ? screw him !!

    I certainly won't be screwing him, cheers all the same. Unfortunately the rumours that he has HIV are looking positive.
    Not that I was ever tempted!

    Bahahaha!
