RIO REARING TO GO? Is Rio ready for the world cup? The simple answer is no, Sao Paulo's stadium, the venue for the tournament's first fixture Brazil v Croatia, has fallen behind schedule.

Tests that should have been completed months ago are only just being started. Three other stadiums have suffered delays meaning that trial games have had to be skipped.

This month, more than three and a half million football fans are expected to head to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, for the World Cup. But there are some questions about whether Rio is ready to host the world cup.

Protests have erupted in Brazil in recent weeks over the high cost of hosting the tournament.

Brazil is reportedly spending $11 billion, more than double what South Africa spent and five times more than Germany spent on previous world cups.

Protests are just one of several problems facing the Brazilian government ahead of the World Cup. Several of the 12 stadiums being built are not finished. Major infrastructure updates have either been postponed or cancelled.

But apart from a few hiccups the world cup looks to be one of the most existing and close yet. It will showcase lots of young talent.

The home team are favourites.

“Its brazils year” said sheerer.

Brazil are set out to win another world cup, they have one of there best teams ever. Players such as Naymar, Oscar and Alves are all determined to win the cup for their home country at home.

Using a model based on each team's track record and characteristics, Brazil emerges as the clear favourite, with a 48.5% probability of winning in Rio, followed by Argentina, expected to be knocked out in the semi-finals alongside Germany.

“We will go out all guns blazing, with nothing to lose. It our home tournament and we are prepared for whatever come at us. We will do all the country and fans proud to be Brazilian”.
