The newspaper Folha de S. Paulo reported that the Brazilian cities that will host the 2014 World
Cup missed their first deadline. The nine cities that will use tax payers' money to build stadiums
failed to publish the invitation to the bidding process by the final date set by the local
organizing committee.
CBF announced today that Brazil will play a friendly match against England on November 14th.
Where? Doha, Qatar. Why? The organization sold the right of all friendlies of the national team.
And the people who bought it can organize the matches wherever they please.
In the meantime, While CBF pockets money and Brazilian fans do not get to see their national
squad, Brazilian clubs struggle financially.
