FIFA GO HOME!The Chaos and Discontent ahead of
2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil.Brazil is grim. Reportedly, over a million people have taken to the streets of major cities across Brazil to record their discontent. People are protesting
against corruption , mounting inflation and a lack of government investment in public services such as education, healthcare and transportation, etc.
A new survey by the Pew Research Center finds that 72% of Brazilians are dissatisfied with the way things are going in their country, up from 55% just
weeks before the FIFA World Cup demonstrations began in June 2013.
Cup vs. CorruptionThe question is not how to organize the World Cup, but how to survive with the basic
necessities unavailable, corruption on rise and inflation sky-high.

Most Think Hosting FIFA World Cup Is Bad For Brazil
Bad thing because it takes away money from public services.Both/NeitherDon't knowGood thing because it creates jobs.
The Million Dollar Question …
If there is money for the FIFA World Cup, how is it
government doesn’t have any money for
public services?
It's normal for people to get angry when so much money is being spent
building stadiums.
Mind-blowing, isn’t it?
Brazil has the 7th Largest Economy in
the world,
but it ranks 85th on the Human
Development Index,
there are 50,000 Murders a year.
But despite the threat and protests, officials insist this summer's
tournament will be fine.
What do you think? Let us know in comments please.
There is also skepticism about the international benefit of hosting the World
Cup. In Pew Research survey,
about 35% Brazilian said it will hurt nation’s image
around the world while an almost
equal number think it will help.
