FIFA: The Ball is in Brazil’s Court for World Cup 2014

September 28th, 2006 | by: WC Bob |

Without saying that Brazil has been officially awarded the World Cup in 2014, His Seppness effectively said today that the South American country is going to get the tournament if it can get busy building some stadiums. “The ball is Brazil’s court and we can say that the demands are very great,” FIFA President Sepp Blatter said after meeting Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva in Brasilia.

Blatter echoed the Brazilian government’s sentiments that the country will need to build 10-12 new stadiums to host the world’s largest party. Colombia and Mexico have also been muttering that they’ll take the gig if Brazil can’t pull it together. Blatter said the final decision will be made late next year or in early 2008, which should give all of the other candidates plenty of time to try to bribe FIFA.

Hi I am from Macedonia,small country in Europe and i support Brazil’s host for world cup.I know rio de janeirio is one of the most beatifull city in the world. you have beautifull country.i want Brazilian football, i am brazilian fan and its the best in the world.I agree with you the best players come from brazil. But one is the brazilian team, and the other is organization of world cup,its not same thing. To organize World Cup is such a big thing. How do you comment accident in salvador. that is horrible what happend in salvador(7 death people). I see matches from brazilian league and in first league (for example corinthians, flamengo, sao paolo etc.)and you couldnt organized good match like in europe,in brazil on match the fans are fithing each other, with the police, the fans enter on the grass……you cant say to me i dont know about brazil because i know and i am football fan and i see on tv like europes league.come on be honest compare brazilian matches with english, german, spanish,frennc matches.eej you have 7 deaths on football match(horrible) Imagine it what could happend on big matches on World Cup.Imagine what could happen for example if brazil lose and wouldnt be the champion (like in world cup final when brazil lose from uruguay).i think that brazil is not able to organize world cup and i think thet you should be wait abot 20-30 years to be host.I want brazil to be the host and i love the brazilian’s passion for football and i like the way how they play but i think that the lifes of people are more important. Give the world cup to country who is able to organize like Germany,USA,Japan,China, Spain, England,Australia etc.
