Brazil were today formally appointed hosts of the 2014 World Cup and now face the daunting task of building or completely refurbishing every single one of their stadia for the tournament.
FIFA's inspection report has identified 18 grounds with more than 40,000 capacity that could host matches and these will be whittled down to nine or 10.
However, of the 18 four would have to be built from scratch and all of the other 14 undergo substantial renovation.
Since the beginning, this was more of a coronation than a competition, and the result has been seen. A good consequence is that FIFA has scrapped its idiotic continental rotation policy. Australia and England have confirmed bids to host the 2018 tournament
