Brazil still feel the side effects

By Engerlund

Brazil did not have a memorable World Cup in 2014 as they were humiliated in their home turf after being knocked out by Germany in the semi-finals by Germany with a final scoreboard that was displaying 1-7 in favor of the German side and this ultimately finished with Luis Felipe Scolari abandoning his managerial position in the national team.

Brazil - World Cup 2014

Getting knocked out from the 2014 World Cup is not the only embarrassing thing which occurred for the South American country as there are a number of incidents that are still affecting the Brazilian nation. Some likened the gamble on infrastructure to the mayor of Rio playing a game at casino spielen – and you can make your own judgement as to whether they won or lost.

The South American country spent around $15 billion in order to make the previous World Cup, one that is worth to remember but after having spilled so much cash in the worldwide football competition, it has taken it’s toll on the Brazilian economy which they still have not been able to recover from.

According to Casino-X, the most expensive World Cup stadium was constructed in Brasilia and it came with a hefty price tag of $550 million, this is now being used as a parking lot for buses. There was a stadium in located Cuiaba which cost around $200 million to make which has turned into a place for homeless people to gather.

The managers of that facility is now looking for a private company to take over due to the maintenance which has been taking away a hefty amount of money from the city.

There are even infrastructures which haven’t been completely finished even though the money was already splashed out and homes of family have been taken away in order for the workers to complete their tasks but it hasn’t happened.

Hosting a worldwide event takes it’s toll on the host country and especially if they aren’t truly able to handle the aftermath of what follows after the event reaches it’s end and it seems like Brazil hasn’t been able to do it and things might turn even more difficult for the South American country as the Olympic Games are edging nearer and nearer.
