If you've been following it at all, Brazil is in a lot of hot water over their lack of preparedness for the 2014 World Cup. Nobody who knows Brazil well can claim they are surprised by this. Brazilians have many strengths - fun, amicable, beautiful, charismatic but well organized and prepared isn't two words I'd use to describe them - individually or culturally.
That said, I loved this line from blogger
Fly Brother. Anyone who knows Brazil would most likely agree, "
The Cup will happen, but this mega-event will be the world’s funnest fiasco; only the extreme affability of Brazilians – and their unparalleled fanaticism for futebol – will salvage it."
