Brazil to Officially Bid on 2014 World Cup

December 12th, 2006 | by: WC Bob |

It is no secret that Brazil wants to host the 2014 World Cup and it is no secret that Brazil is the frontrunner to host the tournament so it should come as no surprise that Brazil will officially offer up a bid to FIFA on Wednesday to host the world’s greatest sporting event eight years from now.

It is South America’s turn to host the World Cup in 2014 and the other countries in the confederation have thrown their support behind Brazil hosting the tournament for the first time since 1950. If the country can muster the money to improve its stadium situations and to upgrade its transportation infrastructure, and if Sepp Blatter isn’t bought off by some Colombian drug lords, I can’t see any reason why we all won’t be sambaing in the streets of Brazil in 2014.

Maybe if North America is included in the bid this will raise the stakes a bit higher, no point in just having one bidder.

fifa has a continental rotation policy (ie europe one year, africa/s. america/ asia the next)

“great give them another world cup thats what the world needs people to get bored of brazil winning all the time”

They have won the tournament five times and have only hosted it once. They deserve it far more than any other country in the world.

Personally, I think the last thing the world needs is people getting bored of Europe winning all the time, since every other tournament is held in Europe (Remember, Europeans have only won the World Cup when it is held in Europe).
yup

I think fab is a jealous Argie…just a guess.

PS….you should note no respectable organization recognizes the 86 WC as legit. The hand of God ruined that.

“sambaing in the streets of Brazil” = sambando nas ruas do Brasil (in portuguese)… ;-) So that you know how to find your way once you’re there, Bob… ;-)

Anyway, Italy went one up this year, so of course Brazil wants one back again… It would be great fun if Argentina would win in 2010, and then go to Brazil in 2014… :-)

The World Cup has not been played in South America since 1978; it is time. It would be great to see Brazil lose at home.

Though I am not enthused about the prospect of another Cup snatched (by Brazil) away from the best European soccer, namely Germany, I fully support Brazil carrying out the tournament.

We Germans admire you and openly acknowlege you as tops (most of the time :-).

We only hope to defeat you occasionally ;-))

That Yahoo Sports page blames Brazilian Air Control for its worst crash ever, killing 154 people. But they fail to mention that a smaller plane, piloted by an unauthorized American pilot carrying 7 people, was the cause of the crash. The American pilot survived the crash and is currently in jail awaiting trial.

“Sepp Blatter isn’t bought off by some Colombian drug lords” Man you’re such an ignorant person…. To write for an audience i think you need to be respectful… not only say the bad things that you know from a country or even worst… make fun of it.. I also saw the post about Colombian bid on 2014…. you really need to learn how to write.. I jus hate you man..

Brazil is the country of soccer, we have tradition! Brazilians play soccer for love, it’s our national passion! It’s our blood! Yes, we have won the tournement 5 times but you know why? Because we’re the best. Simple as that. Noone in the world play soccer like Brazilians do.
The World Cup has always been held in Europe, USA, etc now it’s our time! We deserve it!

This is the deal, Brazil is the deal, no doubt about it. Fuck those who are against it, it’s time for a revolution. It’s Brazil’s shot at becoming a first world country. This is the shot, and this is the time. A new world order. A country on the edge of the werstern world, a country that is overlooked by most due to the fact it’s a third world country. It’s time to revolutionize to break this shit world order apart. It’s time for the blacks, the indians the whites, the asians to come into one, and the place to show how that happens, the place that will show the world, fuck you world, we’re right and everybody else is wrong is Brazil. The time has come fellas, brace yourselves, let the games begin!!!!!!!
