Brazil 2014, dubbed the World Cup of all uncertainties, faces significant challenges just over two months before the tournament kicks off. Concerns loom large as Ronaldo’s country is still not fully prepared. The Secretary General of FIFA, Jérôme Valcke, has sounded the alarm, pointing out that work on two crucial stadiums in Porto Alegre and Sao Paulo, where the opening match between Brazil and Croatia will be held, remains incomplete. Valcke bluntly stated, “If you want to summarize, we are not ready.”
These remarks contrast sharply with the assurances given by FIFA President Joseph Blatter, who claims not to be worried about the status of the stadiums in question. However, the specter of failure looms large, raising the pressing question: Is Brazil on the brink of failing where Africa succeeded in hosting the World Cup?
