Pata Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Sao Paulo, so yes, they're used to building and considering the construction started the absolute latest there they are on pace to be ready. Hadn't that crane absolutely f***ed up then I think it would've been close to being finished. Images from yesterday. Think it the end product will be magnificent and very modern. Corinthians will be able to fill it quite comfortably as well unless they charge huge prices for the domestic games. http://www.lancenet.com.br/fotos/Confira-Arena-Corinthians-Foto-DivulgacaoOdebrecht_LANIMA20120927_0057_46.jpg Lush.

Flip Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 So first match played at Arena da Amazonia yesterday and there were no physical problems/structural problems with the construction itself. Although there were big operational problems. Queues were enormous for the bar as only one person was working it while other things happened. FIFA will obviously not allow this and will have all stands open for the WC, but it's still a race against time in developing the Brazilians that will work there during the World Cup.

Brazilians work Ignorance Brazilian people are one of the most hard working people in the world. Don't mistaken the people with the government. While obviously the nearer you get to the equator the lesser things get done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just scared that Brazil will play Spain or Chile in the second round... Seriously pissing my pants. We're so used to beating Chile so I'd just expect them to beat us for once.

Flip Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Apparently Scolari is most afraid of playing the other South American teams And rightly so, in terms of form Brazil and Chile are the two strongest teams in my opinion. I mean Chile have beaten Venezuela 3-0, drawn to Spain 2-2, drawn 3-3 with Colombia (were up 3-0), beaten England, Ecuador and Costa Rica comfortably while being the better team against both Brazil and Germany. (sure they still lost but deserved wins in probably both games. Then there's Colombia, Uruguay and Argentina. In terms of international football, South America is just in a better form form me there's two teams in Europe who are in another level to the rest of Europe and that is Spain and Germany. Tier1. Brazil, Argentina, Spain, Germany Tier 2. Chile, Colombia, Uruguay, Italy, France, Portugal and then possibly Belgium and the Netherlands. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
