We will have to bring back BWEE to fly the amount ah ppl going down. On a bright note finally we will have the best players in the world..........about 18 yeras after the WC.

[Filho]

As a Brazil fan..I really looking forward to seeing this. It will be madness in the stadiums. Looks like Brazil have their work cut out for them tho'. From this read..it will be even more pressure than South Africa..

For a country that has such a unique and rich World Cup history...I can see why many would see Brazil as some kind of spiritual home of the WC. The only nation to actually play in every world cup and the only one that got to actually keep a trophy - Jules Rimet trophy resides in Brazil - so Brazil is literally home for one WC trophy. Most WC winner's medals too. Think about it..if Brazil fails to qualify for a WC, it will be more 'shocking' than if any other country is absent..even if Brazil is not the best team in the world at the time. Brazil's presence has become something of a WC tradition...so, I could see why some would paint that kind of metaphor

It eh outta no damn curiosity.  Doh try dat Midknight.  Is pure commess knighty lookin for. 

[asylumseeker]

This would definitely NOT be the WC they want not to qualify for ... imagine them not playing at a WC they hosting ... yeah, allyuh right ... ah cyah imagine dat ...

[Zeppo]

Well, it did reside in Brazil. Until it got stolen, anyway.

See what happens when you entrust the Brazilians with something important? 

[marcpurcell]

I hope they can fix all the problems like electricity and logistics before the World Cup. The Pan Am games a couple of months ago was a nightmare.

This must have been some side deal worked out. I thought that the World Cup would have gone back to Europe. You cannot have the World Cup played outside it's major market for that long. The next time it goes back to Europe is at least 2018.

[palos]

Doesn't the host country automatically qualify for the World Cup?

[Zeppo]

Violence casts shadow over Brazil's 2014 World Cup

Brazil, picked to stage the 2014 World Cup, is playing down the criminal violence that stalks its cities but the problem is sure to cast a shadow over preparations for the event.

According to the Organization of Ibero-American States, Brazil has the world's fourth-highest murder rate with about 45,000 people killed each year, following Colombia, Russia and Venezuela.

Some cities, like Recife in the northeast, a possible World Cup venue, have homicide rates of around 80 per 100,000 people -- twice as high as the most violent cities in the United States.

For 2 seconds dey ah thought asylumseeker was right den ah realise ah getting de "Holder of de title" and "de host" mixed up....

As for Brazil being de home ah football.....when ah read de title ah de thread ah say....but wait nah is  England is de "Home"......just goes to show de power Brazil has.....

Think bout it....a WC with no UK vs. a WC with no Brazil......

hmmmmm.......England.....Brazil.....England.....Brazil.....boy we sure would miss dem English....

Nah, I not into commess, but I simply don't agree. I'm a big Brazil fan and I don't like the English, but the word 'home' is a big one to use for Brazil.
As far as I see it, only 3 countries could hope topretend to that title

England (as far as the birthplace of the game - or at least until someone seriously disputes this)
France (as far as the Organisational initiator of the original World Cup)
Uruguay (as far as being the original host country and winner to boot)

I'm not going to bring up Brazil palmares because I doh wan't Sando to dehydrate fro vomiting, but for me using that is the equivalent of saying the US is home to the Olympics because they traditionally get the most medals of all the competitors

U is one a de posters dat does routinely post sense on dis site.

Ah guess dis post jes goes to show everybody entitle to a off day. 

France?  Uruguay?  Before Brazil?  WAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!!! 

Brazil is the spiritual home of football bro.  It is the home of joga bonito.  The way the game was MEANT to be played.  Brazil captures the essence of football like no other nation.

It is why the best players in the game routinely come from that country.
