Remind me not to take tips on sporting events from you.

 

When it comes to forecasting FIFA decisions, a quick Google of the individuals involved may help.

Well said. Your country was robbed of the 2018 World Cup and we were robbed of the 2022 World Cup. If FIFA does not change that stupid and corrupt voting system, they should be all put against a wall and shot.

Now that spectacle would fill a stadium. I'd watch even if it was 42C.

 

Sepp Blatter called the English bad losers. In an interview with a Swiss magazine he said " England of all places, the motherland of fair-play ideas " Also the land that can spot a crook when we see one Sepp old son.

 

Our response was, had you made your agenda to spread the World Cup to new places clear to us, we wouldn't have spent £18m on a bid, including £3m on a bid book only 3 FIFA members read. We would not have bid against Russia, as they have never held the World Cup.

 

Even though many remember a European final held in Moscow, that included Man.U a few years back, that was disaster of organization. Just this week, a Russian fan was shot by an opposition supporter and there was a fair bit of rioting.....

 

Australia spent A$545m in a bid, including public money. I wonder how much was spent ( wasted) in total, by the bidding countries ?

 

Blatter admitted FIFA have an 'image problem'. No shit Sherlock !

 

London's Mayor Boris Johnston, withdrew the offer of free hotels for the FIfa comitee in London, after the announcement of their decision.
