Local football boss unloved by government. Loved by FIFA Secretary General. Political pressure has been on on local football boss by government. Brazillian local football makes Don Corleone Famiglia look Mormon. Out came FIFA Secretary General in defense of local football boss attacking government progress in World Cup projects, passing law and such. He did all that carefully not to compromise local unloved football boss. Not happy in engaging into the political equivalent of Kabul after some soldiers burned the Koran, he went far: He said the Brazilians needed a kick in their derriére to move ahead with the projects and all that. Brazilian reaction was to no longer talk with FIFA Secretary General, whose job is to worry about the nitty gritty of the organizing an World Cup. He did that at a time FIFA boss, wanted to start talking with President former Marxist technocrat Dilma Russeff. Oh, you did not know that: but Dilma does not only does not talk with Local football boss, she did not talk with FIFA big boss either. How they could organize a World Cup that way, is something that Elmat (who can even understand DVDw, cannot. Just as FIFA big boss was trying to get for the second time an appointment with President former Marxist technocrat Dilma Russeff. As Brazil decided to stop talking with FIFA Secretary General, he was - he is French by the way- defiant. Called Brazil´s reaction puerile. For what he did that! A Dilma aid called him boquirroto (which means someone who does not measure his words), after all derriére, the aid claimed is not a diplomatic word to be used but also called him vagabundo. Which in Portuguese means scum. And he went on to say: Brazil will accept a target to build the paraphernalia to organize the Cup. But it does it under its own terms. And he went on to say: You know the Brazil pace. It's not Germanic and it is neither European

Before I forget. For good measure he offended the French people: Making an irony of FIFA's secretary general nationality he went on to say: "Hold right there! the French never got their way with colonizing Brazil. He bit his tongue, created a problem, not for us but to FIFA." The colonialism reamrk is about something 450 years old France Antarctique (formerly also spelled France antartique) was a French colony south of the Equator, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, which existed between 1555 and 1567, and had control over the coast from Rio de Janeiro to Cabo Frio. Founded as a haven for the Huguenots, the colony was ultimately destroyed by the Portuguese in 1567. en.wikipedia.org

Last crisis was the Lobster War The Lobster War is an ironic name given to a dispute over lobsters occurred from 1961 to 1963 between Brazil and France. The Brazilian government refused to allow French fishing vessels to catch lobsters 100 miles off the Brazilian northeast coast, [1] arguing that lobsters "crawl along the continental shelf", while the French sustained that "lobsters swim" and that therefore, they might be caught by any fishing vessel from any country. The dispute was resolved unilaterally by Brazil, which extended its territorial waters to a 200-mile zone taken in the disputed lobsters bed. [2] Although this historical incident of coercive diplomacy may have taken place long before the drafting of the UNCLOS, the dispute ended with the signing of an agreement on 10 December 1964, [3] which granted to twenty six French ships the right of fishing for a period no longer than five years, on the grounds that they delivered to Brazilian fishermen a certain amount of profit over their fishing activities in the so called "designated areas".
