Brazil won their bid for the 2014 World Cup, I'm very excited about this, Brazil is a Country that eats/breathes football and the atmosphere during the World Cup is amazing.

They have 18 grounds with more than 40,000 capacity, but four have to be built from scratch and the other 14 have to have some renovations.

The FA says that the Brazilian football federation have 1.1 billion US dollars (£550million ) for the project. I don't think that's enough, its 4 new stadiums and 14 that have to be renovated, its going to be a lot of work and a lot more money.

FIFA has also decided to change their continent rotation policy, meaning that any country can bid for the World Cup, and England have already submitted their bid for 2018.
