The logo chosen for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil has received much flak for its “childish” design and the lack of public participation in the selection process.
Yet the uproar over the logo isn't the only problem that that the 2014 World Cup is plagued with. The government has been criticized for the lack of transparency in matters of planned expenditure, as well as their failure to provide prompt updates on the ongoing preparations for the event.
There is considerable anxiety about Brazil's ability to host the upcoming event; local airports have been “behind schedule” and construction work on the stadiums have yet to begin in some of the host cities.
