Posts: 1428The Score so far.
Per Oglobo, 26 buses were burned in SP last night, (17 of which were out of circulation due to old age,) and a Ponto Frio store was ransacked.

Posts: 640I was in a beach bar full of hot assed Brazilian women (and a few guys too, I guess), and to their credit, after the game, they partied even harder to electronic music.
This does validate my idea that the Germanic (and perhaps Italian) Brazilians in Rio Grande do Sul are perhaps the best place in the world to be -- the only Brazilians who could cheer today's soccer result.

I was in a house full of Brazilians today for the game. I am not brazilian, and even I felt embarassed. I felt bad to see my friends in a state of shock. God forbid they meet Argentina for third place on Saturday, and lose that one too. Heads will be bashed in Copacabana beach.

Another article on WC costs:
"In terms of long-run development potential, of most concern to economists is the $3.6 billion in total spending on the 12 new and refurbished stadiums that are being used for the event. The overwhelming conclusion of scholarly research on the subject of stadiums and arenas is that they provide little to no long-term economic benefits. " "Before the Cup, Reuters reported that Brazil only delivered half of the projects it pledged, and many of them didn't finish in time for the Cup. Brazil is now left with half of the planned general infrastructure benefits but all of the planned costs. " "At the very least, the country is left with 12 new state-of-the-art soccer stadiums. From a development standpoint, the only thing worse than an expensive, publicly financed stadium is an empty, expensive, publicly financed stadium."

And they still have the costs of the Olympics to add.Last edited by Java Man; 07-07-14 at 18:49. Reason: correct the auto correct

Something very, very disturbing out of all of the positive thus far:

This was construction that was supposed to be completed in time for the 2014 World Cup, but they didn't make it in time. And, they still haven't finished! Meanwhile, more have died along the way. Also, if you want to know about some outrageous construction-related stories in connection with World Cup preparations, take some time to investigate what's going on in Qatar right now as they prepare to be the next host country for the Cup.

ABG, you wrote, "IMHO the book & movie are just fantasies, nothing even close to reality. ".
I'd be interested in knowing in as much detail, why? No rush.
I think it would be very informative and useful.
BTW, I will head to SP sooner than later, and PM you.

Posts: 640Already watched the movie. That lead me to the book, which I read in an afternoon. It's the counterpart to Bubba Boys' Rio Guide.
Mad language skills?
Do you mean that "Vc fala portoguese muito mal. " and "Vc no intenda nada" are not compliments?
As long as I can put porta dos fundos on a HDTV while I am banging her gi quatro, eu falo perfeita! Kkkkk.
