simplythebest 11,453 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Three people have been killed in an accident at a Sao Paulo stadium that is due to host the opening ceremony of the 2014 World Cup football.A senior local fire official said crews were called to the Arena Corinthians after reports of a collapsed crane.The crane fells on to the stadium, destroying parts of the stands.The arena was due to be completed at the end of December to meet a Fifa deadline. Brazil has admitted it is struggling to have all 12 venues ready.Must at least be doubts about Brazil hosting the World Cup after this surely?

mitre_mouldmaster 21,511 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Fucking hell! Half the brazilian population was already up in arms about the money being spent. This could be the final straw. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trueblue68 2,497 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I was always for the Idea that Glasgow alone could host one of the groups, with the rest being spread around England. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inigo 33,338 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I think England, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Canada, Australia, USA, Japan, S Korea and probably many others would be capable of holding the World Cup without having to create new stadia. Uefa should start giving it to countries that are ready when the decision is made rather than countries which pass the thickest brown envelopes.
