As football-mad a country as it is, not everybody in Brazil is happy about the World Cup.
Not the tournament itself, but the vast sums of money being spent on it.
The protests from civilians, seen during the Confederations Cup during the summer of 2013, are expected to go on up to the World Cup and perhaps even during it. As per BBC News, activists are reported as saying:
We're not against the World Cup itself, but how the process of the World Cup has been made here. The public haven't been involved in any of the decisions.
Another stated:
I think people are angry because of this huge investment [in the stadium] that won't really be useful after the World Cup. They could have done better things with the money, like investing in health and education which are bigger problems here now.
There shouldn't be any real reason to think that the population of Brazil will not be welcoming to visitors and be a big part of the tournament atmosphere while the World Cup takes place, but it is certainly worth remembering that the World Cup effects must linger on after the tournament is over with.
