Brazil Not on Time May 2010
Soccer's governing body says Brazil is "not on time" and "not on track" in building stadiums for the 2014 World Cup.
FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke gave his assessment Monday at Johannesburg's Soccer City stadium, the venue for the 2010 final.
FIFA has selected 12 cities to hold games in Brazil, which was the sole candidate to host the 2014 World Cup.
Valcke says he has received a report on stadium construction that is "not very nice." He adds that it is "amazing" how far Brazil is behind schedule, and that is the case with a number of stadiums.
