Anyone else think the 2014 World Cup could end up being a little dodgy?

From Marca:
Seventy-six percent of Brazilians believe that the 2014 World Cup will lead to an increase in corruption, according to a poll whose results were released today by the Datafolha Institute.
Despite this fear, 90% of the people surveyed by Datafolha believe that hosting the World Cup will be "important" for the country.
However, only 50% admitted to having a high level of personal interest in the event, with 28% of respondents saying that they are "a little interested" and 22% claiming they are "not at all interested".
There is even less interest in Brazil in the Confederations Cup, which will take place in mid-2013 and serve as a sort of dress rehearsal for the 2014 World Cup.
Only 32% of respondents claimed to be "very interested" in the Confederations Cup, 34% said they were "somewhat interested" and 35% stated they were totally indifferent to the competition.
Datafolha also asked respondents about which aspects of hosting the World Cup they were most worried about, with 60% listing a lack of security on streets as their primary concern.
The poll was carried out on 13th December, involved questioning 2588 people from 160 municipalities, and has a margin of error of two percentage points.
