Sepp Blatter was wagging his finger at Brazil this week as he criticized the country's preparations ahead of this summer's World Cup, describing them "the most delayed since I have been at FIFA".

Six stadiums did miss the December 31st deadline for completion.

But how bad is the situation? To find out we spoke to BBC South American football expert Tim Vickery.

"The stadiums will be there. Six of them are running late and there is a price being paid in human lives with construction workers dying which is unacceptable. But the stadiums will be there so I'd imagine that much of the foreign media will come across, look at the stadiums and say 'What was all the fuss about?'"

"Just look over the parapet to the demonstrations and you might get some answer. In a way Blatter has bent over backwards to be fair to Brazil. He said that they had seven years to prepare. But really they had 11 because Brazil effectively knew it would host the World Cup in 2003!"

But beyond difficulties with stadium construction, other issues loom.

"The Brazilian population were explicitly told that money from the stadiums would all come from private sources, leaving public money for infrastructure projects which the society badly needs. And here we begin to unravel because the stadiums are there and the vast majority has been public money. And the public transport projects never got off the ground. So a significant part of Brazilian society has concluded that they're paying too much for this World Cup and not getting enough back."
