The Brazilians appear keen not to conceive the tournament in haste, but Blatter is telling them to start kicking or there may not be any time to solve teething problems if they arise further down the line.
“Brazil is delayed in comparison to South Africa in the same period. In 2007, three years from the last World Cup, the South Africans were more advanced than the Brazilians today,” Blatter told the press.
“What they need to do is hurry and speed up the preparation process. The World Cup is tomorrow and the Brazilians are thinking it’s the day after tomorrow.”
“What they should do is use a little bit more speed now in the organization.”
Blatter warned Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo could be left off the program for the 2013 Confederations Cup, which will provide a testing ground for the 32-team tournament 12 months later.
“The World Cup stadiums are still in the process of being discussed between the city mayors and the state governors,” he said.
