The circumstances aren't any better in Quatar either..
What beats me is why they're holding World Cups in countries which are apparently not suited for them (no offense to any Brazilians, I love you porras) - there's lots of countries with better conditions in terms of security, infrastructure etc. Instead, they let slaves build huge stadiums (how many died on construction sites in Quatar already?) in countries where the money would be way better invested in medical care or pretty much anything besides huge football stadiums.
It's no surprise the zilians are furious about this WC..

Qatar  not any better,  they're noticeably worse

Now over 1.000 deaths in the building of infraestructure due to infrahuman work rights for immigrant labour

I haven't bought a Barça kit in ages  [/activism]


they're bringing the world cup there because the FIFA has long become a political body with the heart of any other big business. They're just playing the influences game at world scale. In Qatar's case, there's also articles refering to money under the table. A world cup in Spain or England (two of the bidders) would have been the best, infraestructure already built, good public transport and tourism infaestructures... but there's little influence to be held in these parts of the world, not saying there's none in England, but the UK don't play the same "game" as Brasil and Qatar, theyr'e no longer a country in deveolopment, they're already sold on all the football they can consume

People complained a lot about S.A. as well, turned out fine didn't it?

It's the same shit before every WC or Olympics really. Then the games start and everyone stops whining.

I'm sure some zillians don't like the money being wasted on this, but I'm also pretty sure a lot of them are only proud and happy to have such a big event at their place.
It could surely help improve the picture of brazil in the world. And what you lose on money now may just as well be returned in the future when more ppl come to brazil, either for business or pleasure.

Brazil has a social crisis nowadays. WC is only one more issue to people shit around here. In my viewpoint, World Cup is important, as HHC said, to evolve some things, to highlight the country and its tradition. Our problem is not Brazil. Our problem are the brazilians.

I have seen the same kind of videos from a long list of countries, including Chile. Yet, I cannot see any link between this particular video and the WC. There's fair possibility that some of those films were shot years ago or in other countries.

Reminds me of Tropa de Elite!

Absolutely. I'm getting really fed up of all that facebook demagogy.
People posting children starving and other sad stuff. I mean, we know it's there, but continuously posting such publications which are often manipulated is only going to earn you a silly dozen of likes.

There's no excuse for an assumptions as shitty as that one. Specially with someone who has a lot of time for a lot of reading. Less Narcissism and more looking outside of the window please.

nope, the problem is humankind

greedy people seek power, when they have power they don't give a shit about your life or freedom

this is nothing new, this has happened everywhere since the beginning of first civilizations

Here, 12 years ago We have a high poverty stats and the current government gave social benefits to people better own lifes. Pretty worked. However, the middle class blames our president to create policies for that people. By thinking in poor people, Dilma Roussef is labeled as comunist and a dictador. While, the rich people still steal and We dont know where is the line between right and wrong either moral or immoral.
