Who remembers Lars Lagerback? Yep, he was the man who coached the Super eagles at the last world cup. He may qualify Iceland later today. |

I just hope that what happened in Korea/Japan 2002 repeats itself in Brazil and my prayer will be answered. |

There will always be a 'group of death' at any WC. |

Re: FIFA 2014 World Cup Draw In Brazil by Afam4eva(m): 12:23am On Nov 20, 2013 |
CFCfan:No. We shared the same group with a particular group. I hope it happens again. |
Re: FIFA 2014 World Cup Draw In Brazil by Nobody: 12:33am On Nov 20, 2013 |
Afam4eva:Oh I see. You want Naija and England in the same group. Me too A hypothetical group could be: Belgium Nigeria England Iran |

CFCfan: Who remembers Lars Lagerback?How real are the chances of Iceland. I hope they qualify. I like seeing unlikely teams qualifying for the world cup. |
Re: FIFA 2014 World Cup Draw In Brazil by Nobody: 12:42am On Nov 20, 2013 |
Afam4eva:Sorry.. Croatia beat them by 2-0. Hence, the Croats qualified on a 2-0 aggregate. |

Brazil has, so far, spent over $14.5billion (N2.2tr) towards hosting the world cup; with around $3.5billion (N542.5bn) of that amount has been spent on upgrading/constructing new stadia. Brazil's sports minister, however, is expecting a massive $90bn boost to the Brazilian economy during the world cup. South Africa spent $4.5bn four years ago, and recouped only $500 million. |

sweet-tease:The loss could be said to be half of the $1.1bn spent on stadia in SA, as the other $3bn were spent on upgrading infrastructure-which responsive govts would have done whether they were hosting a world cup or not. |

SA also expected 450,000 fans, but 309,000 showed up. |
Re: FIFA 2014 World Cup Draw In Brazil by Nobody: 5:23am On Nov 22, 2013 |
sweet-tease:So true. Another factor that caused such a loss is FIFA's share of the revenues from the tourney. FIFA takes a lions share of the revenues-around 65%. In fact, FIFA, as an entity, made billions of dollars from the last world cup. |
Re: FIFA 2014 World Cup Draw In Brazil by sweettease(f): 5:24am On Nov 22, 2013 |
CFCfan:Ohkay! Now i get the gist! Mayb Nigeria will host it one day....... Although am sure in our case they will claim they spent $10billion and recouped $100million cos d money will perform disappearing acts as usual 1 Like |

CFCfan:Wtf! Over half of it? |
Re: FIFA 2014 World Cup Draw In Brazil by Nobody: 5:28am On Nov 22, 2013 |
sweet-tease:Lmao $10bn may be half of what Nigeria would need, if we were the ones hosting next year. The cost of upgrading the stadia may balloon to $5bn |
Re: FIFA 2014 World Cup Draw In Brazil by Nobody: 5:33am On Nov 22, 2013 |
sweet-tease:That's the sacrifice the host nation has to accept. It's mostly tourist spending that benefits the local economy. |
Re: FIFA 2014 World Cup Draw In Brazil by sweettease(f): 5:33am On Nov 22, 2013 |
CFCfan:We always use at least x3 of what we need and and at the end, we won't achieve half of the original plan so they are more likely to use more than that $10b 1 Like |
Re: FIFA 2014 World Cup Draw In Brazil by Nobody: 5:37am On Nov 22, 2013 |
sweet-tease:Abi. The cost inflation is always 3ice the amount in most developed societies. Even in Brazil, there are allegations of contract inflation on some of the world cup-related projects. For instance, the Draw ceremony is going to cost $8million |
Re: FIFA 2014 World Cup Draw In Brazil by sweettease(f): 5:40am On Nov 22, 2013 |
CFCfan:Dat will be good for us (especially if they don't know how to bargain ) since its directly into the pockets of the citizens and nt into the govt's pocket |
