Picking a Winner for 2016
What I don't get about the Rio decision is that I've been led to understand that there's a fair bit of nervousness in FIFA about how well preparations for 2014 are going - in particular the transportation infrastructure. The Olympics are much more complicated to run than a world cup - more venues in a smaller space over a shorter period of time. Forget all the geo-political BS about how it's South America's turn: if there's worries about 2014, how can one be confident about 2016 going off well?
