Brazil is lagging behind in preparations for World Cup 2014

Sports Minister Orlando Silva of Brazil has expressed doubt about the delay in preparation for Mondial'2014, transmits Reuters. In an interview with Brazilian newspaper Esportiva "Silva said in all 12 cities where matches will be played, there are problems, including the reconstruction and construction of hotels and airports. "If local authorities do not understand this, we will lose the fight against time," the minister added. According to Silva, yet it is unclear whether Sao Paulo will be able to accept the opening match as a program. The problem is that the city authorities still have not given assurances that the stadium will be ready on time. Brazil will host the Olympic Games in 2016, which will be held in Rio de Janeiro.
