YELLOW CARD FOR SEPP BLATTER.


FIFA president - Sepp Blatter quickly soft - pedaled after receiving a 'yellow card' from Her Excellency, the Brazilian President Rouseff, on Monday the 6th of January, 2014. Blatter had twitted that :- "Brazil is the farthest behind of any host country, since i've been at FIFA and moreover, it's the only one that had so much time - seven years, to prepare itself. Brazil has just realized what it means to organize a world cup".
Whaoh!!! Good shot mon president, but the ball did not hit the back of the net, as you expected, it went over the bar. So sorry SIR.
Then came a very swift counter-attack from the Brazilian President, as her Excellency twitted " we love football and we will receive this cup with pride and we will make it the cup of cups". Well taken shot your Excellency and it is a g-g o-o-o-a-a-a-l-l-l !!!
And of course, Blatter admitted by twitting that " i fully agree with Rouseff's tweets today. The whole world, including me, is looking forward to the cup of cups. Brazil will be a great host. "
On the head mon president Blatter. Sincerely, you have hit the nail on the head. BRAZIL WILL BE A GREAT HOST. Period. The entire world is excitedly looking forward to the 2014 FIFA World cup finals, to deo-volente hold in Brazil. There is no any option B plan for the hosting.
I believe, that, the 2014 FIFA World cup finals, in Brazil, will be one of the most flamboyant, spectacular and massively attended world cup finals, to be organized by Blatter's FIFA. This is simply because the host Nation is Brazil.
Brazil, the land of the most colorful carnival in the entire world. Never mind the carnivals we organize here in Calabar, Port Harcourt, Abuja and Lagos.Fantastic i must confess, but still not like the original. Brazil, the land where futebol is played as if it were a dance. Brazil, the most popular and successful footballing nation in the entire world. Brazil, the only nation, that have qualified for every FIFA world cup, since the competition started in 1930. Brazil, the only nation to have won the FIFA world cup for a record five times. Brazil, the futebol "refinery", that produces annually produces the largest number of professional footballers playing in Europe. Check and you'll discover that over 200 sublime Brazilian footballers are involved in the European Champions league. Mention any football club making waves in Europe and you must have Brazilian players there.  No other nation is globally branded by a single sport, like BRAZIL
I was at France '98, Korea/Japan 2002 and Germany 2006. I can assure you president Blatter, add all the thrills and spectacles of '98, 2002 and 2006 together, they wont come near Brazil at all.
Yes, six of the nation's 12 host stadiums failed to meet FIFA's December 2013 deadline, and work on hotels, airports and roads have also been affected by delays. No problem mon president. This is not the first time such will happen. Is it? Remember that the pre-2010 world cup confederation cup in South Africa, could not take place at the designated stadium and despite that, the JABULANI will remembered all over the world for a very long time.
This is why i can assure you sir, that what you saw during the 2013 confederation cup in Brazil was just a tip of what to expect during the 2014 finals. Need i remind you sir that Brazil won the confederation cup?. BRAZIL 3, SPAIN 0. Like we say here in Lagos, Nigeria, - 3 kondo.
