In a video published in the websites of many Brazilian newspapers on the Internet said Romario - who led the attack Brazil when it won the World Cup 1994 and is now a member of parliament - that Brazil was spent on hosting the World Cup more than twice that spent by Germany in 2006 and South Africa after four years other.
Romario said that the money spent on stadiums so far were insufficient to provide "eight thousand new schools and 39 thousand school bus or 28 thousand a sports stadium in the entire country."
The wave of protests hit Brazil currently hosted during the Confederations Cup, which serves as ready for the World Cup next year. Among the things that angered protesters, the amount of money spent on stadiums.
The World Cup will be held in 12 stadiums each was built for the tournament and the other underwent a comprehensive modernization. Brazil has spent about 28 billion riyals ($ 12.9 billion) for the championship.
He said Romario, who said he was speaking as a "Brazilian Romario" and not a ball player or a political "money that was spent on the Mane Garrincha stadium in Brasilia could have been used to build about 150 thousand homes for low-income families."
He continued, "but we spent 1.5 billion riyals at the stadium. Is this beautiful? Is this practical? It is not really. Another thing is that after the Confederations Cup, some things will work again because they were not so good and some things will be added to the World Cup. "
He went on saying, "The president of our country is the actual FIFA. FIFA came to our country and created a state within a state."
Romario said FIFA would reap a profit of four billion riyals, "it should pay billion riyals in taxes .. but it will not pay anything."
"It comes and focus circus .. spend nothing and takes everything with him."
The Brazilian parliament allowed except for FIFA to pay taxes on profits from the World Cup. This was one of the conditions set by FIFA when Brazil granted the right to host the World Cup in 2007.
