People are proud of their country, you will get people defending Burma if you are lucky to see them on the internet.
Also Olympics could be fine itself (but behind the curtains a lot of problems will exist), if China can do it, a lot of countries could pull it off.
Honestly I wouldn't want to push Summer Olympics on my most hated cities, it brings nothing but ruin and wasted money. The thing is, you might get lucky and barely make a profit, but majority of the time it just brings financial burdens and one case financial ruin (Greece).

That´s ok about being proud about your nationality, no matter what. The problem is that many Brazilians (specially on the internet) are delusional about their own country. Yes, it´s a huge country with beautiful landscapes, peculiar culinary and rich/diverse culture, but it´s still plagued by deep (sometimes vey deep) social and economic problems that prevent it to fully achieve its potential. Many brazilians live by denying these problems, believing that those features I quoted are enough to compensate. They aren´t. And the country will never overcome its problems/limitations while people keep ignoring them. Keeping that poor talk about other nation´s problems doesn´t help either. Every nation has problems, but other nation´s problems are not excuses to keep ignoring your own.
It´s fine to get the World Cup and the Olympics, but some people here were (are) falling easily on politician´s speeches that this is enough to put Brazil as a "developed, high-class" country. It´s not.
