No, they didn't.

This was just propaganda against Brazil just like they are doing now with China

S/o hong kong tho, beautiful city.

eh it was on social media plenty
edit: misunderstood here, so they did not build million dollar stadiums outside of slums and it was just propaganda?

The amount of fake news and propaganda around World Cup 2014 and Olympics 2016

Reddit was notorious for this. At some point it was straight up xenophobia

This thread is giving me flashbacks

some old town downtown midwest are cool imo

The video of the Chinese skater knocking the other one over? Watching the video makes it pretty clear that the other dude literally tried to skate in to his path and tried to impede him with his arm first.

Obviously the lady who through the puck under the other person should’ve been disqualified.

Nah bro those Chinese are dirty cheaters they’re ruining the Olympics we gotta invade em

Y'all gonna get whiplash from double-taking when y'all miss China slingshotting past the US in every metric

Saddest part is we did it to ourselves

Most Americans don't think about China/Russia or care to.

despite the media's best efforts

I don't know about any stadium that was built outside slums

That's just not true, just like a bunch of other things that foreign media invented about Brazil during that time

I think issue was that they had to rebuild and build new stadiums for like 10 billion as a relatively poor country.

But every world cup is controvers so who gives ashit

is that uncooked chicken

No one to blame but Krauts

this is my motherland mf

yes

Now imagine if the USA even had manufacturing jobs. Coulda been like this on the Chinese

Too bad we traded factories for finance, to our detriment and China's benefit

walking past and going inside Birds Nest was the coolest s*** ever when i visited China in the past. never really thought Beijing was ideal for a winter olympic or the city really needed one again so soon tho.

Harbin in North China would have been an all timer but i'm seeing their past bid failed

Could have shown off their signature ice cultures . Cool ass city

any cool medal events tn?

and you seem to have forgotten that the mainstream admirable position is "I hate the government, not the people". Lettin the veil slip there, homie

We gonna try our hardest to slow that s*** down but reality gonna slap us in the face when the day comes

post apocalyptic type s***
