The FIFA World Cup is the pinnacle of sports, and one of the joys of our modern world. It’s an unparalleled blend of pageantry, pride, drama, intensity and intrigue. It’s the world’s party, and a celebration of the beautiful game. However not all World Cups are created equal. They are defined by the moments of brilliance, the fervent atmosphere of the stadiums, and the idea of 32 nations on the cusp of transcendent glory. The 2014 edition in Brazil has a chance to be remembered as one of the best ever. This summer, football returns to its spiritual home, recapturing the soul of the beautiful game. Brazil breathes football. The nation’s carnival atmosphere already established, it’s possibly the premier World Cup host. Of course, it hasn’t all been rosy. Protests in Brazil have been rampant over the cost of hosting while the local economy suffers, and while the protests are valid, they don’t subtract from the country as a host. We have our strongest field of teams since the field was expanded to 32, rendering three groups of death, and mouth-watering matchups that will keep the eyes of the world glued in for the duration of the tournament. For viewers in the United States, the game times could hardly be better. ESPN broadcasts their last World Cup, with Ian Darke leading the coverage. From here, it’s onto Russia and Qatar – that is, if those two countries don’t get the World Cup stripped from them. But for now, for this summer, Brazil is perfection. Not all World Cups are equal. This one is special.

The hallowed ground will host its second World Cup Final in July. Estádio Nacional Mané Garrincha – Brasilia – The second largest stadium came off without much ado. It will host seven games – including the third place match. Arena Corinthians – Sao Paulo – The Arena Corinthians is very much the second most important stadium. Located in Brazil’s biggest city, and hosting the tournament opener and a semi-final, the stadium is architecturally stunning. But multiple workers have died building the stadium from the ground up, and there are concerns over its readiness. Estadio Castalao – Fortaleza – In the industrial town of Fortazlea, this stadium is notable for its huge roof, and it was the first of the World Cup stadiums to be ready for action. Estadio Mineirao – Belo Horizante – In the city where the USA beat England in 1950, football is king. The majestic Estadio Mineirao will host Brazil’s semi-final if the hosts make it that far. Estadio Baro-Rio – Porto Alegre – This stadium lights up at night like the Allianz Arena in Munich, and it will host a full slate of games. One of the most visually arresting stadiums in the tournament. Arena Fonte Nova – Salvador – Built from scratch for the World Cup and upcoming Rio Olympics, the Arean Fonte Nova will host a quarterfinal – plus Spain – Holland, and Portugal – Germany. Arena Pernambuco – Recife – Different because of its square shape, this is another stadium built from scratch, and it’s possibly Brazil’s finest effort. Arena Pantanal – Cuiaba – Resembling Tottenham’s White Hart Lane, the brand new stadium in Cuiaba – not one of the big hotbeds of Brazilian football – will host three group games. Arena de Amazonia – Manaus – Manaus is in the middle of the Amazon Rainforest, and this is the ground everyone desperately wanted to avoid because of long travel and poor playing conditions. Both the USA – Portugal and England – Italy games are here. Arena das Dunas – Natal – The Arena das Dunas has a flower-shaped roof, one of the cool features of this new stadium that will host four group matches. Arena de Baixada – Curitaba – FIFA has threatened to pull this stadium from the roster because of it’s crawlingly slow pace of renovation, and it’s still only 85% complete. It’s one of the many black eyes from the process of hosting the tournament for Brazil.

WORLD SOCCER TALK / WORLD CUP 2014 GROUP A BRAZILBRAZIL "SELACAO""Selecao" BRAZIL MEXICOCAMEROON CROATIA CROATIA CAMEROON MEXICO PREVIEW It will never be said enough: For all the bedazzling glories and trophies and great players and plays, losing the World Cup final at the Maracanã to Uruguay in front of 200,000 Brazilians in 1950 left an unmistakable scar in Brazil. They are at the heart of the game. No one plays, lives or breathes soccer better than Brazil. When the country was selected as host for the 2014 World Cup, it seemed like a slam-dunk. But a mess of a run-up with stadium delays, worker deaths and mass protests has marred the party atmosphere. Still, it’s football, and Brazil wants to win. The bond between the Selação and the people of Brazil is among the strongest between team and people in the world. The team stands with the people in their protests, and the people stand with the team to create a stunning home-field advantage. With their best team since they last lifted the trophy in 2002 led by national hero Neymar, the scars from 1950 can be erased, and the World Cup can be returned home.! SQUAD Goalkeepers: Julio Cesar (Toronto FC), Jefferson (Botafogo), Victor (Atletico Mineiro) Defenders: Marcelo (Real Madrid), Daniel Alves (Barcelona), Maicon (AS Roma), Maxwell, Thiago Silva (both Paris St Germain), David Luiz (Chelsea), Dante (Bayern Munich), Henrique (Napoli) Midfielders: Paulinho (Tottenham Hotspur), Ramires, Willian, Oscar (all Chelsea), Hernanes (Inter Milan), Luiz Gustavo (VfL Wolfsburg), Fernandinho (Manchester City) Forwards: Bernard (Shakhtar Donetsk), Neymar (Barcelona), Fred (Fluminense), Jo (Atletico Mineiro), Hulk (Zenit St Petersburg) THE KEY 3 Brazil won the Confederations Cup in 2013 because Neymar was awesome.

Publicado por: Juventud Rebelde BRASILIA, junio 17.— Las selecciones de fútbol de España e Italia resultaron ganadoras este domingo en su debut de la Copa Confederaciones que tiene por sede a Brasil. Los campeones del mundo derrotaron 2-1 a Uruguay, idéntico marcador logrado por los italianos ante México. España dominó su partido, disputado en el Arena Pernambuco ante la presencia de más de 40 000 personas, con goles de Pedro y Soldado a los minutos 20 y 32, respectivamente. Uruguay, en cambio, casi no se hizo notar en el terreno hasta que Luis Suárez coló un golazo tras cobrar una falta al minuto 88. Entretanto, en el mítico estadio Maracaná de la ciudad de Río de Janeiro, Italia pasó trabajo con México, y luego de la diana de Pirlo al minuto 26, perdió la sonrisa con el gol de penal cobrado por Javier «Chicharito» Hernández. Sería Ballotelli el que diera el triunfo a la «azurra» con su gol a los 77 minutos. Luego de estos resultados, Brasil e Italia dominan el grupo A con tres unidades, mientras los ibéricos comandan el B. En este último debutarán los dos equipos que aún no han visto el pasto brasileño, Nigeria y Tahití, con un encuentro previsto para este lunes en Belo Horizonte.
