World Cup WILLIES!!!

Today is THE day. The votes are cast, the numbers in, who will win? Are we really bothered. Eight yearsf rom now where will everyone be. While there are a number of advantages to hosting the games, such as publicity for the host country and increased revenue from tourists, there are also a number of potential disadvantages.
Hosting the World Cup costs the host country an enormous amount of money. One of the main concerns among nations hosting the tournament, is that the influx of foreigners will drive up the costs of basic goods. According to FIFA, soccer’s main ruling body and the main group responsible for organizing the World Cup, the potential disadvantages of hosting the World Cup, inflation is the biggest concern, believing it would increase the prices of consumer goods. There is also the belief that crime will increase, presumably because of the arrival of thousands wealthy tourists. This asks the question of what will the Police be doing? Will they be trying to combat the increase of this crime and be overstreched in dealing with anything else. This adds to the disadvantage of hosting the World Cup. Can the diversion of resources to manage The World Cup, make sure the games are given proper security and visitors provided proper accommodations. To cover all these costs, the Government might temporarily siphon off some of the services normally provided to its residents.

So to finish, is it really worth while.
