soa paulo--brazil --riots

whats the odds on the game being postponed later??

0 chance

looks like the cops got a bit too heavy handed and its caused all this to kick off

How dare these people riot just because the monet could of been better spent on edumacation and healthcare and relieving there poverty. Don't they realise their are peopul on hear trying to make monet by betting on these matches. How effingham selfish!

6 billion is a scandal,for a months viewing

edumacation! great word!

total agree dough. should have just had in america where they no doubt have 50 stadiums they could have held it in without spending more than about a tenner

And the only riots in the US would of been cos they left the gherkin out of a Big Mac!

poverty mean riots

6 billion is a scandal,for a months viewing

Think the cost of the Olympics here was 9 billion.

its not just the cost, its the fact that they probably wont get another world for 50 years, if ever. britain hasnt had one in 50 years and the next 10 years are scheduled too. thats at least about 60 years since the last one.

An absolute travesty
all those squalid huts no better than alotment sheds in view of all the glitterati footy players and their expensive over inflated egos

Feckin riot, Id absolutely love it if the world cup got a serious black eye and came off the rails

best quote I heard in the last few weeks was to call FIFA an old boys golf club

the stadium is only half full for the ceremony.

didnt even know there was an opening ceremony to world cups.

dont think ive ever watched one. its on over 4 hours?? jesus.
just had a look, gave it about 2 minutes then turned it off.
how many people will be watching that?

Well that was a joke of a cermony, nice to see the millions getting spent wisely

its over? its on for 4 hours... ohhhh of course lol theyre showing the game too. brain freeze moment!!

still, another hour til kick off, what are they showing til then????

i live in manaus

oh wait.

no. no i live in a manhouse. 3 tv's in the living room, no cushions and definitely no flowers anywhere.
