The 2014 World Cup will be transmitted to every country in the world and could potentially be the most watched sporting event in history.
Three billion viewers.....not bad for a “Girlie” sport....
Now who was it that that coined that particular phrase.....;-)

On to the basic topic of the thread.

Not as much as Argentina expends on promoting its facetious claim to the Falkland Islands.

We are there to enjoy the World Cup games, which we are.

We are not worrying about how much energy is being used, as much of how much POSITIVE ENERGY ( and goodwill ) for BRASIL we are creating.

And it is working. My wife and I have already met 7 enthusiastic couples who have never been here before, and plan on returning to explore more of our country.

Vai Brasil !!!
