Pretty sure they'll give a similar indication as those interviewed by Pew.
My guess is Brazil will have to devalue after Argentina does later in the year.

@1 Pew Research is in America. Shame, eh?
Jun 04th, 2014 - 12:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Still, there are some good things coming. I can see the headlines. “Brazil Welcomes Argie Murderers to Attack English Supporters”. “Brazilian Police Stand Back as Argies Attack English”. “Brazilian Army and Police Lend Weapons to Argies”. “Brazilian Army Trains Argie Animals”. Yep, the World Cup will do Brazil NO good whatsoever. The wave of disgust will sweep around the world. How much business and tourism will it lose? We already KNOW that at least 25% of people intending to visit have cancelled. Hopefully many more will do the same. Why aren't the Brazilian authorities providing proper security? Armed and armoured escorts from airport to hotel. Same again from hotel to stadium. And the same from stadium to hotel and to airport.

Why would we expect anything different from argies? 650 of them, eh? Bet they'll pick on couples or groups of around 5. Argies are always cowards. How many troops did they send to the Falklands in '82 to “face” 1,500 unarmed Islanders and 80 Royal Marines? Over 60,000. And the argies set up a new record for the 3-mile sprint. Would Brazilians be able to run faster?
Interestingly, the documentary on BBC2 last night covered this subject. The people in the favelas were not at all happy about the money spent on the WCFs and it is perfectly understandable. They joined in the protests in the asphalt. When the protest moved to the favela the police used live bullets and nine people were killed.

Jun 04th, 2014 - 09:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It's all going to plan: the murdering, drug-dealing gang's plan, that is.
I wonder how much the fifa approved consulting firms got for this world cup mr Platini. ?

People need to realize that this organization is a gang of criminals a junta with too much power a corrupt to the bone organization run by the same group of gangsters year after year.
Brazilians you were duped
@1, Brasileiro “você perdeu uma boa oportunidade de ficar de bico calado” (translating =>“ you lost a good opportunity to keep your mouth shut”........
