World Cup 2014: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

As with any tournament, there were the GOOD, the BAD and the downright UGLY. This was one tournament that had all the elements, swinging from the extreme bad to the extreme good.

In the lead up to the tournament, there was a near fracas with some stadiums not being a 100% done and ready for the matches. Throughout; the hosts were adamant that there was nothing to worry about and as it turned out, maybe there was nothing to worry about.  There were protests all over the place and it was feared that they would disrupt games. That was not to be as the disturbances were kept to a minimum and once the football kicked off, all the attention when to the football and not the protesters. For me there were 2 downright downers for me, and they stuck out like a sore thumb.
