"In total 100 days. Hard to believe that so few left.
It seems only yesterday that Brazil won the right to host the FIFA World Cup. I remember my emotions when I found out that my country will be the organizer of the most important football event on the planet.
At the moment I'm not on the pitch as a player, but I confess that I was starting to worry about the same as before my decisive matches. And the World Cup did not "decisive match," to strengthen the position of Brazil in the international arena? We have sent the spotlight, and it's a good chance to show what Brazil and by whom, in fact, is its people.
World Cup and 2016 Olympics give us a chance to show the world that we are - a country in love with the sport. A country with a strong economy, which is a leader in biotechnology, is among the major producers of meat, minerals and soybeans. And if briefly, millions of foreign tourists and journalists, full of curiosity, will arrive in our airports to get to know this Brazil.
Although in our country strong social distinctions were made serious steps to address them. Our society is diverse, but it is cohesive. Live on our land talented, hardworking, creative and modern humans. These features are especially visible in the virtuoso dribbling Neimar, in music of Tom Jobim and science Miguel Nicolelis, whose research exoskeleton give hope to people with disabilities, dreaming about how to walk again.
Our country - the mistress of nature, from which breathtaking. Tourists who come to the World Cup, must be prepared for an unforgettable experience: no one leaves here without warm memories of the beaches of the north-east coast of the vast expanses of the Amazon River and of the unity of the sea and the mountains, which makes the Rio de Janeiro-like picture .

In all 12 host cities of the tournament, I saw the dedication of thousands of people who took their flawless organization of the world championship.
On our way of training we have gone through the most difficult tests. Last year we took the best, by far, the Confederations Cup. And it's not just my opinion, but also the fans, journalists and FIFA President Joseph Blatter.
Less than 6 months after that, we organized another important event - Draws Finals of the upcoming championship, which was held in Costa do Sauipe, Bahia. There are representatives of 32 teams discussed their plans with members of the COL, FIFA and the federal government.
This exchange between the organizers and the teams continues. Last month, in Florianopolis, a workshop was held teams. Have been studied in detail issues of security, transportation, maintenance teams.
