2014: Football is coming home

Fifa decided today to give Brazil the opportunity to host the World Cup 64 years later we had our biggest tragedy ever, when Brazil lost the final in Maracana against Uruguay in the 1950 World Cup in Brazil.
The challenge is hard. Of course Brazil need to work hard to host an event like that. Our stadiums are old and needs to be rebuilt. The infra structure for transportation, tourism, security will have to be much better than today.
Corruption, political interests and managment problems, of course, are also around. And everybody needs to be alert for those issues. Not a exclusive problem of Brazilians (remember Italy 1990), but, anyway, a serious problem in this and others Latin American countries.
But Brazil have things to celebrate. The first one is the passion for the sport. Nobody played football like we did in the last 100 years. The love for the sport may build a popular World Cup party in the streets. Something unforgetable like Germany 2006 for example.
We also have a very kind and friendly people, ready to host the tourists and delegations.
Brazil is a huge country, with both winter and summer during June/JUly. A mix of climates, gegraphy (rainforest, megalopolis, beaches, montains, etc) and cultures ready to party and celebrate.
Economically, the country is one of the largest in the world and by far the richest in South America. The Fifa World Cup is a good moment to invest in infra structure, like energy, highways, new airports, and touristic project. It can hlp the country to grow, specially in security and tourism.
A lot is going to be said, discovered, and discussed from today until 2014. But I think we can wait for a good moment of football.

I think it is great that Brasil is hosting the World Cup. FIFA with all it's money should help them rebuild the infrastructure and stadiums in the country.
WOW! where do i start .
The soil. the ground in Europe is a soil that has has its share of wear and tear, As a result the ball and the players don't move as fast. The soil in SA has not had as
much wear and tear which is going to make for a faster game.
The Climate: Short of Global Warming the climate should be perfect for Futbol but the humid temperatures mean that the european
teams had better be better hydrated than their African and South American counterparts that are used to playing in warmer weather.
Fans
In Europe, Africa and SA futbol is life period.
But with the WC being in brasil for the first time in 64 years there will be a fever pitch at every game and that will be phenomenal any team that will be playing against an SA team (esp Brasil) will
have to try their hardes to keep the crowd noise down
just a few thoughts cant wait til 2014

Well, I'm glad that Brasil has got the responsibility of hosting the 2014 World Cup. I mean, beautiful women, friendly people, great weather, and the electrifying atmosphere, that is the FIFA World
Cup. What more can a football fan ask for? I can say that I'm certainly going to be there, once 2014 arrives. Brasil, here I come...........
This will be the party of the decade won't it?
