In 2014 the World Soccer Championship takes place in Brazil. Florianopolis is next to Rio de Janeiro one of the host cities.
Chances are that the 2016 Olympics would also take place in Rio; the 4 remaining candidate cities are Tokyo, Chicago, Madrid and Rio de Janeiro. Rio is doing a great job in the bid and apparently als the genral public thinks Rio makes a good chance, with 48% of the votes; second is Chicago with 30% of the votes. As much as I would love to see the games take place in Rio and as much as I think Latin America deserves that honour, I think Obama will make his mark in organising the games in Chicago. Let's all vote for Rio !
