The logo looks like a person in sorrow. The green top is the hair with the yellow hand covering a downwards facing head.

I think the only country in the world tat should hold such international events is ah tiong land. They have the money n resources n dont mind the.disruptions it causes. They can built 10 stadiums etc overnight n hold it in an ulu city to generate development. Also they get to ent er the games as a host. So good for them...

Even Vietnam announced that they are giving up the rights to host 2019 Asian Games. They didn't get much done after 2 years of preparation.

The cost of organizing Brazil World Cup is higher than South Africa WC + Germany WC + Korea/Japan WC.

And despite all the money, they still cannot complete all the stadia in time. The consequences of giving an emerging Economy both the World Cup and Olympics within two years.

Unfortunately, in the case of the World Cup, that's one slot in the tournament taken up by a worthless footballing nation - China.

Greece is a great example of poor planning that led to a financial disaster where hosting the Olympics is concerned. They paid dearly. All the facilities built have been left derelict, the economy is in shambles etc.

London did well by heavily commercialising it and in many cases erected temporary structures that gave the impression that it was a permanent. They released tickets in such a manner that there was a constant shortage that people out of desperation bought tickets to events that they did not plan to attend in the first place.

Going second round considered an achievement already. Brazil, Germany, Uruguay and Argentina will be in the last 4 if they dont meet earlier.

My bets
Group A + B Semi-Finalist: Brazil or Spain
Group C + D Semi-Finalist: Italy
Group E + F Semi-Finalist: Argentina or France
Group G + H Semi-Finalist: Germany
