The Camp Granja Comary , for many years the base Seleção , is nestled in the idyllic mountain landscape Teresópolis , about 90 kilometers from the hectic Rio and miles away from the problems of the country.

In many cities, Brazil’s resistance to the Copa , against the billions that put the State in accordance with requirements of Fifa in stages , instead of using them for the improvement of infrastructure , educational projects , or for the fight against poverty formed. Still there are 16 days until the opening game. The World Cup organizers hope that the mood in the country is finally rises and remove strikes, protests and negative headlines .

The competent security forces and ministries are trying to downplay the situation. There have been no problem, the players were at no time in danger, the bus had departed on time.

“Whether there has been a problem? Undoubtedly ,” said Paulo Storani , an anthropologist , who was himself earlier at a special unit of the military police , the Internet portal oglobo.com . There have been a number of errors: Both players , as well as protesters were in danger. The police had failed in their first big test .

The sociologist Ignácio Cano, who conducts research at the State University of Rio de Janeiro, oglobo.com said: “It is no use to seal off the stage by police to prevent demonstrations. ” The policy should seek dialogue with the malcontents . The success of the World Cup depended on the policy , not on the number of police officers on the street.

Coach Luiz Felipe Scolari and the Football Association CBF want on violence and security do not comment . At his first press conference in Granja Comary Scolari said : ” We are here to play football , the World Cup outside of the playing field is not our affair. “. Government and police would take care of the demonstrations. The task of the player is to play football . That had to explain to the population. The players were free but to express their personal opinion .
