Brazil World Cup

[salazar]

Cannot say I am feeling comfortable about watching the World Cup when it would seem that the Brazilian government put football before the welfare of its own people.

You could say that about any sporting event though. Any country would arguably be better off spending the money on welfare.

 

[salazar]

Very true but the fact remains it does not make it right.

It will be spectacular, I can't wait.

 

[salazar]

Yep dead people in the streets for football,great!

your loss

it's going to be FLAIR

 

[salazar]

No loss

 

[Vegas Seagull]

It's a World event, the welfare of the hosts own people is irrelevant

 

[Husty]

I don't get it, HUNDREDS have died in Qatar if you want something to get upset about.

No loss

I take it you are not going to watch any of the Winter olympics in Russia, and that you did not watch any of the Olympics in China a few years ago. Exactly the same scenario. It happens everywhere, and always will unfortunately. I heard that Russia have spent £30 billion on the winter games, more than every other winter olympics put together - crazy money.

Silly me,sod the poor.

 

[salazar]

Correct

It is a sad fact of life I'm afraid. For anything like this there is a downside. The World Cup in South Africa took place against the backdrop of extreme poverty too. Not many Quatari's are too worried about he workers slaving away to build all the infrastructure for the 2022 World Cup either. It's a crap world for nearly everyone.

I get fed up with our Government looking after every country than its own.

 

[salazar]

I find it odd that we think football is more important than people.

Don't watch it then...it's not really any different to South Africa.

I do agree after seeing how people keep getting killed constructing the stadia, it's going to be in the back of my mind when i watch it.

How many people died in construction of the Amex? How hard is it to build a bloody stadium safely?

 

[mune ni kamome]

It will be spectacular, I can't wait.

I'm not so sure it will. The protests from the people could be very serious for this one and some stadia may not be ready this time. I hope not but there is a real possibility this could go tits up.

Have you forgotten that rio will host the 2016 Olympics.

The people of brazil live & breathe football but I don't think the same can be said of the Olympic games.

So maybe your football over people rant should be a little more widespread.

I think you will find most Brazilians put football above their own welfare.
