Soccer is business. One of the biggest in sports I'd say. And I've met a few people from Rio that were part of the protesting communities when they hosted the World Cup, but it seemed like it didn't make much difference. Money was taken from their healthcare, schools, communities and put into the stadiums and event organizations and the country is dealing with huge poverty any. And I've heard now that a few of these brand new stadiums aren't being used anymore. It's not much different in Russia now.

@joshx Corruption is something about the human been and no one country have solution for that. Only thing that could go against the corruption is a strong law made by each country according each culture. It's really complicated to talked about that and do mainly beleave that don't exists corruption in any country.
@steeminer4up True... but if would maybe leave out the corruption in who gets the next World Cup, specially if the country has not enough funds (without the people starving) to organize it...that's what I ment
