Beware of FIFA: Brazil President

Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff has defended her government's preparations to host the World Cup, the target of criticism over chronic delays and soaring costs.
As Brazil rushes to finish stadiums and deal with a wave of protests ahead of the June 12 kick-off, Rousseff partly blamed FIFA for the spiralling World Cup bill but said the money spent would leave a positive legacy.
She said FIFA had assured Brazil that host stadiums would be built with private money.
But the government eventually realized private-sector investment would not even cover "half a stadium," and provided most of the financing itself, Rousseff told journalists at a dinner Tuesday at the presidential residence in Brasilia.
She said she would advise future host countries to "be very careful about the 'responsibility matrix'" they sign with FIFA.
