Hurray! Congrats Brazil! Job well done in wining the right to host one of the world's biggest events! Especially this event, noting how soccer-crazy Brazil is! The photo to the right shows people waving flags at the Christ the redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, after Brazil was officially chosen by FIFA to host in 2014.
If you ever doubt the value of football to Brazil, remember this comment made by Brazilian President Luiz Inacia Lula da Silva on receiving the news of Brazil's success, "Soccer is not only a sport for us," .. "It's more than that: Soccer for us is a passion, a national passion." (Source)!!!
