World Cup Brazil 2014: Your Guide to Brazil for the 2014 World Cup
For Brazilian soccer fans this was the site to check out about the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Starting in 2013 you could follow the news and updates regarding the 2014 FIFA World Cup. My whole family are big time Brazilian soccer fans. My cousin is "in love" with Ronaldinho. Whenever he plays she wears one of her chokers. You would assume if the piece of jewelry was called a Lariat Choker Collar Necklace that it would naturally would be worn around one's neck. But not so with this unique chocker. This particular choker is made from re-purposed zippers to create a unique, fresh, and modern jewelry element that she "styles" in a multitude of ways. I've seen her wear it as hair piece, belt or necklace. She sometimes wears it knotted and looped twice or undone. However, when Ronaldinho is out there on the field she always wears it looped about her neck three times with the ends tied once and left hanging down below her waist. Her good luck charm seems to work, because Ronaldinho always plays great. Me, on the other hand, just yells and screams a lot, saying prayers under my breathe when the occasion occurs for some divine intervention. Go Brazil!!!"

Editor's Note: As the date for the final approached, we noticed something unusual happening within Google's first page search results in the US market. Instead of information and content related to the playoffs we started seeing articles about completely unrelated prostitution scandals and interviews of pornstars. These were searches for “2014 FIFA finals” and related keywords. We needed to remove Google search results but Google ignored our requests to fix this. Clearly the search engines need some refining. US fans sent us many examples of this issue and we've since discovered more posts on this topic. The problem, which was not reported in any other country, lasted almost 4 weeks before miraculously reverting to a good result. But is was a alarming reminder that all is not well at Google and perhaps the calls for regulation are onto something.
