COPACABANA BEACH, RIO DE JANEIRO

March 4th will mark the 100 days until the FIFA World Cup kicks off in Brazil.

Brazil promises an exhilarating mix of sporting passion and spectacular venues.

However delays in building stadiums and violent protests over the costs of hosting the World Cup could turn the event into an embarrassment for Brazil, whose government hopes to use the Cup to showcase its economic, political and social advances of the past decade.
