can we finally move the tournament to a real country like England now? :rollani:

 

I'm pretty sure Estonia has never had a construction site disaster:rollani:

 

Or France.

Doesn't look too good for brazil who were having problems right from the start....will they be ready for the WC?

 

They could give it to Spain/France/Portugal comfortably.

 

Brazil will be fine.

FC Twente's stadium also collapsed killing 2 workers 2 years ago while the stadium was being expanded. It's not like it only happens in Brazil.

 

I wish god help femily of all who affected.

rip

 

People unfortunately died in many projects around the world and in any country.

Being a stadium, a bridge or a building.

 

True.

I hope Brazil can pull it off and be prepared before the tournament cos for me Brazil is the true home of football.

 

We will have OUR stadium ready :lala: without the use of public money :lala:

 

Hahaha it is funny how England press are the first to report anything negative about world cup hosting countries. So bitter.

 

So you think it shud've been swept under the carpet?

 

I'm sure people get decapitated in football matches in Estonia too.

 

RIP to those very sad indeed,I'm sure Brazil will be up&ready come WC time&will produce a wonderful WC.I remember much was spoken about the doubts of SA 2010 but that obviously went ahead as well:smileani:.

 

And who said SA 2010 was "wonderful" for travelling fans?!!

Not to mention worst stadium atmosphere ever.

 

Sweety there are construction accidents on weekly (if not daily) basis in all over the world. Actually just last month in my town where two people were killed. Yet you don't read about it in the BBC and the Guardian. If you can't read the obvious between the lines I can't help you.

 

Yeah, without clicking on the article, the easy assumption is that it wasn't a crane accident or anything of the sort but an accident borne out of poor construction on the back of inflated prices and kickbacks.

But at least the article calls it a stadium accident.

The real misrepresentation here comes from the imbecile who started the thread.

 

STFU, there is no misrepresentation there. When the article first came out it said 3 were dead and the side of the stadium had collapsed. :rollani:

 

and the next imbecile that replied to it:eyepatch::lala::grinch:

 

I'm not worried about the safety in the stadiums but out of them.

 

Don't be cheap and just pay the whores and there will be no problem.

 

Burglary in hotels are common in Brazil and other South American countries.

The spanish Davis Cup team and the guys from the spanish public television were robbed the same day they arrived in Argentina in 2008 to play the final.

The whores story was a ridiculous invention from the brazilian press in order to give a less negative view of Brazil to the potential visitors in 2014/2016. Brazilian press is too much used to sell bullsh#t about Spain, like the story of the granny "tortured" in Barajas.

Had been brazilian whores in that hotel we would have seen a lot of pictures/videos about the encounter by now. Look what happened to Justin Bieber.

 

Just wait for the World Cup 2026 which hopefully will be awarded to a normal country.

 

Potential bids so far: Canada, Mexico, Mexico/USA, Colombia.

...go Canada! :thmbup:

 

...go Canada! :thmbup:

:howler:

seriously, even Estonia would be better than Canada

 

Canada, the normal football country...

 

Andy is from Estonia, and therefore has a warped sense of normality.

 

Were is Estonia?

 

somewhere around the polar circle. but still, unlike England, it is a country.

 

Estonia is somewhere around Andy

 

I have been there. I think it really exists. unless it was some kind of matrix, of course.

 

It rhymes with with Stone.

Maybe its the county next to Stonehenge!

It is a county or a country?:doh:

FIFA president Sepp Blatter has told a news conference that the World Cup stadium in Sao Paulo will not be ready until two months before the tournament.

The stadium was the site of two fatalities in November when a crane fell over and Blatter said at the time that there was "no plan B", something he has reiterated.

The opening match of the 2014 World Cup is due to take place on June 12, less than two months after the new completion date. However, Blatter has urged trust in the project’s safe completion.

"It will be ready in mid-April, it is a question of trust that it will be done," he said.

"God and Allah willing no more accidents shall arise and the reconstruction can restart as soon as possible.

"For the time being there's no plan B."

FIFA also announced official details of prize money for the tournament which have increased by 33 percent on 2010.

The World Cup winners will receive 21.5 million pounds, while countries which fail to qualify from the group stage will get 5 million pounds.

A further one million pounds will be awarded to each of the 32 competitors to cover preparation costs.

Meanwhile, the amounts clubs will be entitled to will almost double from the 2010 World Cup, taking on a total of 43 million pounds.
