Really the only way to avoid the World Cup in Brazil is to blow up one or two of the football stadiums

Brasil does have problems, with the major one being stadiums. They are currently building stadiums, so if you don't want to have the Cup there, then you might want to do all you can to stop the construction of the new stadiums."FIFA president Sepp Blatter stated on July 4, 2006 that the 2014 World Cup would probably be held in the country, though he acknowledged in earlier comments that the country did not have any stadia ready for the Cup at the moment. On September 28, he met with the Brazilian President Lula and was quoted as saying he wants the country to prove its capabilities before making a decision. "But the ball is on Brazil's court now," he said [6]. In September 2006, Brazil President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva confirmed Blatter's opinion, declaring: "We don?t have any stadium which is in a condition to host World Cup games. We?re going to have to build at least 12 new stadiums in this country.?

Potential host cities are already preparing for the tournament. CBF and government officials have toured many cities and stadia in the latest months, and 18 states have applied to host World Cup matches. However, the actual number of host cities is expected to be much lower, as FIFA stipulates a minimum of eight and a maximum of ten.

On 31 July 2007, Brazil's bid became official, when the Brazilian Football Confederation president, Mr. Ricardo Teixeira, delivered personally to FIFA president, Mr. Joseph Blatter, a document containing Brazil's hosting stadia and other required information concerning plans in improvevents for general infrastructure and about finances, though more details about this document are unknown. [7]

Early in that day, a list of stadia selected was published by Brazilian media. At least 21 cities were considered intially, but only 18 cities were pre-selected as able to host international football matches. Among the 18 finalist cities, four stadia are under construction or will be built if the right to host is won. The three cities not accepted were Campinas (São Paulo), João Pessoa (Paraíba) and Teresina (Piauí). On 17 August 2007, in a meeting between CBF officials and representatives from the 18 cities, Ricardo Teixeira confirmed the names of five host cities, and left the 13 other to fight for the remaining spots.[8] The list below includes the cities selected by the Brazilian Football Confederation to receive the World Cup (the five confirmed cities are mentioned first): [9] [7]"

I think Brazil should have less of mindsets like that.

It's what the famous Brazilian playwright Nelson Rodrigues called "street dog mentality" (mentalidade vira-lata, in Portuguese).

Those who thing there's nothing good about their country and blame it for every problem of their lives, they usually contribute a bigger share to the problem than they might think.

You shouldn't feel that way, you should be really honored that something so big is coming to your country. I'm South African and believe me I felt the same way. But the spirit and passion that the World Cup has brought to this country is amazing. It's 3 years away but it seems like the World Cup has started already. Think positive!

Why'd you don't want Brazil to host the World Cup? I think it'll be beneficial for Brazil to host such a prestigious events. At least it'll help the nation's economy and that is good for the people of Brazil.
