MANO GIL in BRAZIL ... Getting a hint of how soccer stars are born!!!

Hey friends,
I'm here in Belo Horizonte, Brazil for a ACL surgery (the price of an eternal soccer addiction) and also to have the chance to re-energize myself with the mystery of the great players of the world.
The Brazilian National Championship is almost decided with São Paulo with more than 95% of chances to take the tittle for the second year in a row.
Sometimes it's hard to understand how a country with a horrible difference between rich and poor, a very unfair economy can still create the best players in the world.
The structure of Brazilian Football is bad. A lot of corruption and personal interest leads teams like Flamengo, Corinthians, Atletico-MG, etc... to bankrupcy and abscure deals. But in the end the talent prevails.
And it seems that in 2014 the most sucessful country who ever played this game will have once again the chance to host a World Cup. If I dream of going to South Africa in 2010 I can't even consider missing a WC in Brazil. I can already imagine games at Maracanã, at Mineirão, at Morumbi...
This country breaths football, this country has 200 million coaches and a handful of Ronaldinhos and Robinhos are born EVERYDAY.
But the question is: Should a country with so many problems of violence, economy, politics, education, public health... spend so much money to host a World Cup? What are the pros and the cons if Brazil is really picked to host the 2014 World Cup?

what are the other countries on the bid to be the 2014 wc host? i believe brazil deserve but there are more things important to do with the money to improve the life of the brazilian people
Galego, there are no other candidates. Brazil filled FIFA's requirements but if something goes wrong Mexico might be the second option. But it seems that the 2014 WC will really happen in Brazil!
