Brazil Deserves World Cup 2014,not Columbia

in News & Features

Brazil FIFA World CupIn 2008, FIFA will choose the 2014 host for FIFA World Cup and I strongly support Brazil instead of a Columbian country who already failed to live up to expectations after pulling out in 1986 which saw Mexico taking the task in a short notice.
