Shambles. Still struggle to believe why a country full of corruption and poverty was given an event to spend billions on 2 years after a world cup.

88% of tickets are still on sale.

Total *********. Spend a fortune on a few weeks of glitter that a hefty amount of the population can't afford to attend. Only to be left with 10 white elephants at the end of it to nobodies benefit.

Sure you could argue our own money was better spent elsewhere but we haven't housed millions in people in what are essentially garden sheds more commonly known as slums.

Best question yet though is the one already being thrown around. What happened to the pledged money? We know the answer though. Its Brazil, someone's back pocket is a whole lot fatter.
