Last year's Confederations Cup, a World Cup dry-run, was marred by massive, nationwide protests over perceived misuse of public funds, and many observers had predicted demonstrators would take advantage of the spotlight of the World Cup to air their grievances before an international audience. But so far, World Cup matches have attracted only a scattering of demonstrators, who have consistently been wildly outnumbered by security forces and haven't led to any disruption of matches.
I think that the pessimists who were betting on a failure need to revise their positions. In my point of view what was expected in terms of public transit, lodgings in the host cities, the ease of getting to the matches, from the point of view of the interactions between fans and of Brazilians' hospitality, what we're hearing is that it's been very positive.The expectation that I have is that Brazil is able in the coming days and weeks to keep up the same level of service that they've had, with their services functioning satisfactorily, and tending in a calm, tranquil manner the Brazilians who are traveling throughout the country, as well as the foreigners.
What do you think about the World Cup in Brazil ?? Leave a comment!!

I talked to a Brazilian and he said the real protests would come up after the world cup...as Brazilian breathe football(what exactly he said!),now they're mostly happy but according to the fact that Brazil is the host for the Olympic games ,something more different soon would show up!and its predictable...when there is a misuse in funding and people should pay the expenses in different ways,no one would be satisfied...
I've enjoyed watching all the matches. Sorry all the Asian teams failed to get to 1/8 final.
