FIFA World Cup 2014 Doubts Spread for Brazil?
The FIFA World Cup 2014 is just under three years away. Today's announcement revealed what will follow the FIFA World Cup 2014, as Russia and Qatar will follow in Brazil's footsteps. Both Russia and Qatar are celebrating, as they are about to get massive exposure and attention. However, that can also be a curse if they struggle to get everything up and running. Brazil can attest to that, as today's announcement has helped highlight their continuing problems.
According to Times LIVE, the Brazilians are having a hard time completing work on their 12 venues. They not only have to get them ready for 2014, but also for the 2013 FIFA Confederation Cup. Therefore, the deadline has to be December 2012.
If these worries are true, then the World Cup 2014 could start to look iffy. Choosing Brazil as the host was a risk to begin with, even though their team is the most decorated in soccer history. Not only is the nation consumed with preparing for the soccer tournaments, they also must get ready for the 2016 Summer Olympics.
Russia became the second nation to host the World Cup and the Olympics in the same decade, as they now hold the 2014 Winter Games and the 2018 Cup. Yet they will have more time in between events than Brazil does, as they must pull off the Confederation Cup, the World Cup and Summer Games within four years.
The centerpiece of Brazil's struggle is the Maracana Stadium, which is undergoing a $400 million renovation. If they can get that finished in time, and up to code, then the rest may fall into place. But even if the venues are eventually finished, it may not fix their other overriding concerns.
With the strain on Brazilian airports, the criminal gangs in Rio de Janeiro, and 2 million Rio residents in shantytowns, the World Cup could still go wrong in many ways. After Russia and Qatar got to be the next in line today, the concerns of Brazil are under a more glaring spotlight than ever.

2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cup bids
2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cup bids
The bidding process for the 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cups was the process by which the locations for the 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cups would be selected. The process began officially in March 2009; eleven bids from thirteen countries were received, including one which was withdrawn and one that was rejected before FIFA's executive committee voted in November 2010. Two of the remaining nine bids applied only to the 2022 World Cup, while the rest were applications, initially, for both. Over the course of the bidding, all non-European bids for the 2018 event were withdrawn, resulting in the exclusion of all European bids from consideration for the 2022 edition. By the time of the decision, bids for the 2018 World Cup consisted of a joint bid from Belgium and Netherlands, England, a joint bid from Portugal and Spain, and the winning bid from Russia, while bids for the 2022 World Cup came from Australia, Japan, the winning bid from Qatar, South Korea, and the United States. Indonesia's bid was disqualified for lack of governmental support. Mexico withdrew its bid due to financial reasons.
The bidding process was also subject to controversy. Two members of the FIFA executive committee had their voting rights suspended following allegations that they would accept money in exchange for votes. England and Russia's respective bids also were subject to controversy following an official complaint based upon FIFA's rules regarding talking about rival bidders, though the complaint was withdrawn following Russia's apology.
On 2 December 2010, Russia and Qatar were selected as the locations for the 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cups respectively.
