First off, I thought the selection committees that picked Brazil to host the Olympics and the World Cup did a piss poor job from the beginning. I don't believe Brazil has the capability of controlling their "fans". When the events get going I am sure we are going to be hearing about all kinds of violence. I think civilized countries need to start pulling out their teams. Brazil doesn't deserve the honor because the fans cannot respect the game. They may have some of the best players in the world but they make Philly fans look like saints.

I think that FIFA should pull the World Cup from Brazil and move it to the United States. We are one of the only countries that can get prepared to host a World Cup tournament in little time.
However, Brazil was able to host the Confederations Cup with very little issues (outside of the protests).
This World Cup will have a lot of negative light shed on it but if FIFA was able to pull the tournament off in South Africa, then Brazil can as well!

There were some rumblings about pulling the tournament from Brazil and moving it to here. However, FIFA has squashed that and said the World Cup will stay in Brazil.
Personally, I think it will go off without a hitch!

If you are in Brazil just don't root for any other team besides Brazil... Then you are golden.

It isn't that bad. There will be some issues of hooliganism, but it won't be from Brazilian fans. Hooliganism mostly comes from European teams (Russia, Czech, England, etc...)
