Mahigit sa 20,000 na mga mamamahayag mula sa radyo, telebisyon, newspapers, internet ang tumungo sa Brazil.
Bukas (Phil. time), mangyayari ang opening game sa pagitan ng host Brazil at Croatia na kapwa nasa Goup A, matapos ang engrandeng opening ceremony na gaganapin sa Sau Paulo, Brazil.
Ilan sa mga usap-usapan ay pressure umano ang Brazil na maipanalo ang unang game dahil kung matalo sila ay posibleng lalong malulubog sa negatibong imahe ang mga opisyal ng kanilang bansa. Ito ay dahil na rin sa kabi-kabilang mga protesta na isinagawa ng mga residente upang tutulan ang maluhong gastos sa pagpapagawa ng higanteng stadium samantalang malaki ang problema nila sa mga serbisyo katulad ng transportasyon, housing at iba pa.
Umaabot sa 12 stadium ang magsisilbing venue sa magkakahiwalay na lugar na tatagal ang “football spectacle” ng halos isang buwan.
Sa Sau Paulo lamang ay naging tampulan ng protesta ang pagpatayo ng bagong stadium na magkakasya ang mahigit 60,000 katao samantalang meron pa naman daw silang lumang stadium na umiiral.
Sa ngayon ubos na rin umano ang mga tickets na matagal nang nagsimulang ibenta. Kung meron man ay mahal na ito kung mabibili.
