Although it might have seemed like a good idea to host the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil-one of the most soccer-obsessed countries in the world-massive social unrest has taken the country by storm in the lead-up to the tournament. The Brazilian government is spending an estimated $14 billion on this year's tournament, making it the most expensive World Cup to date. This has provoked outrage among Brazilians, who view the government as corrupt. They are seeing vast amounts of money being spent on soccer stadiums and police while politicians ignore the country's endemic poverty and social issues.
