Before we look at 2022, just look at 2014's World Cup. It is known that the Brazilian government is still behind their schedule delivering stadiums and basic infrastructure. Personally, I am proud to say the new NYC Mayor has made an excellent decision not bidding Winter Olympics (http://theweek.com/article/index/256746/hosting-the-olympics-in-new-york-city-is-a-terrible-idea http://theweek.com/article/index/256746/hosting-the-olympics...). Multi-years of preparations before and after selection is going to take away energy focusing on real domestic-city-wide issues. The Beijing 2008 Olympics was a great success given the amount of new stadiums and infrastructure added. Though the main stadium (Bird Net) was officially, completely finished sometime around March 2008. London's main stadium was completed in 2011 and under budget. Clearly if the government really care about the event, they will everything to stop corruption and prevent delays. I don't know anything about Brazil's local politic, but press has been criticizing Brazil government its poor coordination and corruption.
