G'day Fotel,\n\nThank you for your question.\n\nSao Paolo like most big cities has a fair amount of crime. It has a population of 19 million and 29 million in its metropolitan area. Further, many people are poor with nearly a million people living in the favelas or slums.\n\nMany residents live in gated communities or secure high rise buildings as a precaution against crime. You may wish to do the same. The Economist City Link below contains other precautions you may wish to take. The crime rate has declined in recent years although it is still higher than in most places.\n\nI have attached sources for your reference.\n\nRegards

Guaranteeing security\n \nSecurity issues always play an important role at major events. 32 teams and their managers, thousands of accredited journalists, and millions of spectators all want security before, during and after the World Cup. This is why all those responsible - the Federal Government and federal states (Länder), the venues, stadiums, national and federal state police forces - must work smoothly together. All national and federal state security authorities through to the organisers are preparing a "Nationales Sicherheitskonzept WM 2006" (national security strategy for the World Cup 2006) on the instructions of the Conference of Ministers for the Interior.\n \nAmong other things, the strategy sets out measures for defence against threats of international terrorism and extremism as well as violence by hooligans. It guarantees security of public passenger transport as well as protection against crime and contains plans for dealing with emergencies and disasters and to safeguard the communications technology used.\n \nA wealth of security-related information will accumulate before and during the World Cup. A National Information and Co-operation Centre (NICC) is being set up in the Federal Ministry of the Interior to ensure that this information does not go missing and that it reaches the Federal Government quickly and in a targeted manner. During the World Cup, the NICC will work round the clock to put all security-related information together to form an overall picture of the World Cup 2006.\n \nThe security precautions are however not limited to Germany alone. At the invitation of the Federal Ministry of the Interior, four international conferences with experts from more than 40 countries have already been held. The subjects discussed range from an exchange of experiences with organisers of comparable sporting events through to preparations for international contracts on co-operation between security authorities at the World Cup 2006.\n\n\n----------\n\nIn the following interview, Horst R. Schmidt, General Secretary of the DFB and senior vice-president of the 2006 FIFA World Cup Organising Committee Germany, speaks about the rioting surrounding the match against Slovenia and the consequences for the FIFA World CupTM preparations. \nHerr Schmidt, the riots involving German hooligans surrounding the international in Slovenia thrust this problem back into the spotlight as we look ahead to the 2006 FIFA World Cup. What precautions have you taken to prevent such events from marring the tournament? \n\nSince the DFB prepared its bid to stage the 2006 FIFA World Cup – and the process actually began back in 1993 – we have been working intensively in the area of security at a World Cup. We are doing everything to ensure the highest standards in security. And by “we”, I mean not only FIFA, the OC and DFB, but also the national and state authorities and institutions responsible for security, who have the necessary expertise and decision-making ability. By collaborating closely at all levels, we have devised a security concept for the 2006 World Cup which we develop on an almost daily basis. This living and operational concept is tested on a weekly basis via seamless procedures in Bundesliga stadia and at our home internationals. And now we have problems with German hooligans at away games. As paradoxical as it may sound, these incidents involving German hooligans actually help us to assess the international situation. \n\nWhat concrete measures are being introduced in Germany? \n\nFirstly on the German hooligans. In terms of practical collaboration, our exchanges with the Zentralen Informationsstelle Sporteinsätze (ZIS) are crucial. This organisation manages data on known hooligan football fans, although I would prefer not to refer to these criminals as “fans”. We can take effective action against these individuals in German stadiums in the form of a banning order from all venues. Obviously we are also

the biggest advantage that the brazilians have is not necessarily their experience(though they have alot). the only way brazil will win the WC will be on the feet of their younger players, players that either havent played a WC or have seen limited playing time. and having ronaldinho on your side doesnt hurt. the brazilians still have one key thing missing from their squad, a consistent keeper.

yes provided thier defence play solidly like argentine but still i believe brazil can win cause they play so attaking football that they have the ability to compenset the lapses of the defence by creating scoring opportunity .

This is not a place to ask this (SO, WHY HAVE YOU ANSWERED?)\n2 don't ask such childish questions (WHY NOT?)\n3 why don't you check the map skill if you really donno (BECAUSE I ALREADY KNOW THE CAPITAL AND BECAUSE I WANTED TO KNOW IF FOREING PEOPLE KNOWS - SOME PEOPLE HAVE ANSEWERED "RIO DE JANEIRO")\n4 shame on you as a brazilian to ask this(REALLY!!)\n5 there is no use of you living in this world without knowing the country's capital (GOOD ADVICE!!)\nits brasillia - learn atleast now!! OH THANKS!! \n\nWERE YOU KIDDING? I THOUGHT YOUR JOKE WAS IN VERY "BAD TASTE" Try to be more polite next time. It will be good for you and good for the person who is readding.\n\n"VOCÊ ME OFENDEU" !(try to translate this!!)\n\nABOUT RIVALDO;\nBrazilians are very good on playing footbal. It is why lots of players are around the world, playing in others team. And it is why we have some problems when they get together again, here in Brazil, to train for the world cup. They feel difficulties to get along again.\nI am pround of many things in my country. Footbal is just a small part of this.\n\nGood luck!

Yes Brazils attack is possibly the most deadly ever.  i really dont think anyone can stop them but maybe if Brazil would play Italy i think the italians could do deasent job of shutting them down.  Brazil will win the world cup.

I have been in nairobi, the capital of kenya. It was like 15 years ago but it was safe. A lot of english speakers so it should not be too difficult to get around and stuff.
