Scolari’s Brazil fears

BRAZIL coach Luiz Felipe Scolari is worried the street protests that are planned during the World Cup could hurt his team’s chances of winning the title.

“I think the protests can happen,” Scolari said. “If they are peaceful, then that’s democracy. Everyone has the right to protest. But I don’t know if it’s the right time.”

He said the protests “could, big-time” affect his players’ performance during the World Cup, although he will not prohibit them from talking about the subject during the tournament. Scolari also criticized Brazil’s preparations for the World Cup, saying that the country wasted time and should have done more to get things ready more quickly.
