Why would it delay that game too? Are they in the same part of Brazil?

only thing i can think of is that he's commenting on the difference between how well built the stadium is to withstand flooding, while ordinary citizens have their streets so poorly built they have to drive through a foot of water.

He means the country pumps money into the WC but a lot of Brazilians live in squalor.

Yeah, not sure what that means


I think it is some type of political comment regarding FIFA strong arming Brazil into making sure the stadiums are up to par using public funds, but that the actual cities own infrastructures fall short.

@GrantWahl: At Recife stadium now. No flooding. Can see firsthand the difference between "FIFA-standard" and standard for ordinary Brazilians. Shameful.

Good news

Bingo, he's saying the stadium is good to go. I'm sorry, normally I would have sympathy for those less fortunate.. but I just care about this match being played...
