WATCH ABOVE: Soccer’s biggest tournament kicks off today in
brazil amid transportation strikes, concerns about preparedness and
discontent among residents.
SAO PAULO, Brazil – The
problem-plagued preparations have been well chronicled, with critics
condemning the range of issues from budget blowouts to construction
delays.
Organizers need Brazil to kick off the tournament with a
win over Croatia on Thursday to shift the focus back to what the host
nation really cares about: winning a sixth World Cup. Brazil hasn’t
hosted the tournament since 1950, when it lost to Uruguay in the title
match, and that only adds to local expectations.
