Cuando escribo esta entrada faltan exactamente 860 días para la copa mundial Brasil 2014 a mi
juicio una de las mas esperadas de la historia.
Hace poco nos revelaban cuanto seria el costo para viajar con los cariocas a la maxima justa
balompedica del orbe. Tambien te mostre con gusto las ciudades brasileñas en 360 grados, en esta
ocasión toca ver los avances de los estadios que albergaran la pasión futbolera mundial, ciudad
por ciudad:
Belo Horizonte – Mineirão

Tickets to the World Cup in Brazil are going to be fairly difficult to come by one would expect,
if only in comparison to South Africa 2010. Gun violence is also something of a concern, so
combining the two is obviously a natural course of action (work with me). Brazil's planning a "guns
for tickets" drive ahead of the World Cup, netting at the very least a discount on tickets.
The 2014 World Cup in Brazil might still over two-and-half years away, but that doesn't mean you
can't start arranging your travel plans.
FIFA released the full match schedule for the tournament on Thursday, with the opening game to
be played at Arena de Sao Paulo in Sao Paulo on Thursday, June 14.
