Brazil's top football official said preparations for the 2014 World Cup are back on track just two months after FIFA publicly criticized organizers for missing deadlines, AP reported. Ricardo Teixeira said the situation is «completely different» to when FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke described Brazil's lack of progress as «amazing.» Brazil got hosting rights six years ago but has barely begun building and renovating the 12 stadiums it needs. Football federation head Teixeira said work has started at some venues and budgets are fixed for this year. Teixeira said talks are continuing on where matches will be played in Sao Paulo after the Morumbi stadium was dropped last month, and Curitiba's status as a host city is being discussed. -- SPA
