SPORTS: The clock is ticking
Six of the 12 stadia due to host World Cup matches missed Fifa’s deadline of 31 December. Sepp Blatter, the Fifa president, complained in an interview with the Swiss newspaper 24 Heure that Brazil’s preparations for the tournament were the most behind schedule of any host nation since he started at the organisation in 1975. President Dilma Rousseff, a recent convert to Twitter, posted a rebuttal stating Brazilians were confident all would be well and that her country would host “the Cup of Cups”.
