WorldCupJoe Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 The grass of Maracanã began to be installed http://globoesporte.globo.com/futebol/copa-do-mundo/noticia/2013/03/primeira-parte-da-grama-do-maracana-comeca-ser-instalada.html So they drained the stadium pretty quick. Looked very different last thursday.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cslopes54 Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 I found this to be funny and worried last week, it rains pretty heavily on southeast around this time of the year. This is a picture of maracana's roof . Mineirao has also been flooding, and I'm not sure if works has been completed, or it just takes time for the draining(?)

DannyelBrazil Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 I found this to be funny and worried last week, it rains pretty heavily on southeast around this time of the year. This is a picture of maracana's roof . Mineirao has also been flooding, and I'm not sure if works has been completed, or it just takes time for the draining(?) Those crazy European alpinists (who are assembling the roof) decided to wear some speedos and have fun "draining" the parts of the roof not installed yet. The Brazilian media is mad about them, specially because they are not using security equipment in high heights... (yes, Brazilian media criticising Europeans for lack of security equipment - the world is going crazy). So they drained the stadium pretty quick. Looked very different last thursday.. Yes, everything is already clean... That's my always point... Why not show the pictures from two days after the rains? It's only interesting to show disgrace (indeed, Brazilian media behaviour with the alpinists: ridiculous). From BBC any other news agency website: Salvador stadium inauguration!!! ______________ Maracana, this monday: Vice-governor Luis 'Big Foot' - actually his political name in Portuguese Recife, last weekend Fortaleza, March 4th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athensfan Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 It looks as though the roof of Maracana will be white instead of blue. Is this correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyelBrazil Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 It will be gray/white outside and blue/yellow/white inside =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deawebo Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Niceee Maracana is giving me the Kyiv Stadium vibe because of the color of the seats, everything seems on time... I only hope Manaus and Natal hurry a little bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WorldCupJoe Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 I'm not worrying about Manaus and Natal. They have their deadline in December 2013 (if i'm not mistaken). So that gives them some 8-9 months to go.. They may be a little behind schedule right now, but that seems to be normal these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cslopes54 Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Manaus and Natal are the most innovative stadiums. My favorites even though bc these both capitals are somewhat "forgotten" among Brazilian media and the Brazilian population in general, I'm very excited to see the world coming to them.

WorldCupJoe Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 I have to admit that, as a european, i didn't knew almost half of the host-cities prior to reading and writing about the world cup. Cuiaba, Curitiba, Natal.. never heard of before. That's the good thing about a world cup: getting to know new places and stuff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
