Sao Paulo has just suffered its worst ever traffic jam, with 214 miles of vehicles slowed to a standstill.
The subway strike on Tuesday which caused it has now been called off but may resume at a later stage in the tournament.

It's another example of setbacks that have plagued Brazil in the run up to the World Cup. Out of the 12 stadiums erected for the event, five are not finished and workers are scrambling to try and get them done. One is without a roof and will probably have to stay that way.
From traffic jams to a roof missing from a stadium, the country is not prepared.
The people in Brazil are not happy with the way things have unfolded. Evidence of this is clear when a recent poll showed that six out of ten Brazilians believe that the World Cup is bad for Brazil.
The death toll for workers while building the stadiums is at three and another worker died Monday after an accident on the monorail project in Sao Paulo, which was one of the highlights for the World Cup games, but it is not done in time for the games.
