Brazil will stage 2014 World Cup |  A revamped Maracanã looks set to host the 2014 World Cup final |
Brazil has been named by Fifa as the host nation for the 2014 World Cup. The South American country was the only one bidding to host the tournament which was due to be staged on the continent under Fifa's rotation system. The other South American nations agreed to back Brazil, who have won the World Cup a record five times, as their only candidate after Colombia withdrew. Brazil has hosted the tournament once before, in 1950, when they were beaten 2-1 in the final by rivals Uruguay. | 606: DEBATE |
Eighteen cities are expected to bid to host games, with eight to 10 being chosen. Brazil is setting aside around £500m for updating their stadiums, including the Maracanã which hosted the 1950 World Cup final. A record 173,830 fans were at the game, although the actual attendance was estimated to be around 210,000 as thousands supporters gained access to the stadium without tickets. Women's world champions Germany will host the 2011 World Cup after beating off competition from Canada.

Do you think you'll live to see this one mate?That's a point. Look, concentrate on 2010, and take it from there. Small steps and all that.

You must remember that Cloudy, what was it like?
you know, you know, if a feller named Monroe never fathered bluegrass
