This Jan. 10, 2014 photo released by Portal da Copa, shows a view of the Marechal Rondon airport in Cuiaba, Brazil. The mess is one of hundreds in this small city in western Brazil that has been sliced apart by unfulfilled promises that dozens of World Cup infrastructure projects would leave behind a new metropolis, with modern roads and a light-rail system to whiz passengers from a gleaming new 21st century airport. And the chaos is being repeated in Brazil’s other 11 host cities, where many construction plans are hopelessly behind schedule. (AP Photo/Portal da Copa, Jose Medeiros)
