Quoted from Denby
didn't fifa want the world cup to go to countries who would need to redevelop in order to leave a legacy?  (nearly) all our stadia are already built so we had very little to do and very little would change.  on top of all the infighting (triesman, richards, brady, watmore) it's not surprising that we lost, and lost badly.  just because we're english does not give us a divine right to host the world cup over everyone else

and we tried to bribe the voting committee with handbags!


Yes that is the public theory FIFA put out. There is nothing to be gained for FIFA in having the cup in England or even Europe any more when they can use this lie about spreading the game worldwide and make a fortune at the same time. Just think about it - the opportunities for graft and fiddles on the construction of new facilities in a country with a willing government are fantastic. The money involved in a place like Qatar will be colossal. They are starting from scratch and which country will be the one to help them get it done?  Russia of course, officially or otherwise, with some palm greasing of FIFA officials. That's why the 2022 Cup was awarded there - to give them 12 years preparation and money making time.

As for 2018 - just wait and see how much the Russian mafia makes out of the "upgrading" of facilities to FIFA standards and how those standards can be carefully adjusted with a little donation here and there to FIFA committee members.

The whole thing stinks. It has stunk for years and our idiotic mistake was to think that we could win a bid without joining in the charade and bribing our way to the front of the queue.

GET A GRIP KRIS..

what utter trash ! you obviously havn't a clue how FIFA  ( FOR THE GOOD OF THE GAME)  is run. These people are corrupt through and through.. they don't like England.. We all knew what was going to happen. they have given it to Russia because they can make more Money.. Our bid was ok..

I totally commend the BBC for trying to unearth these DODGEY DEALINGS.. THAT'S WHY WE LOST..

2 VOTES OUT OF 22 BLATTER MARKED ALL THEIR CARDS B4 THE VOTE.. TO TEACH OUR MEDIA TO LEAVE THEM ALONE AND NOT INTERFERE

THEY HAVE GIVEN THE WORLD CUP TO A COUNTRY THAT MURDERS IT'S JOUNALIST'S SUPRESSES THE GAYS AND ABUSES THE IMMIGRANTS...

BROWN ENVOLOPE ANYONE..

FIFA ARE A DISGRACE !!

don't you all think it's a bit bent how sky sports news knew the results before they were announced?


You could pretty much tell from Will's facial expression that we hadn't won it before sky announced it.

It was a farce and an utter waste of money, FIFA are a disgrace, I would love to see Spain, Austrailia, Germany and England (to name a few) pull out and set their own World Cup or ssimilar tournament up!

Also how the hell has 2 nations with poor Human rights record, got the chance to host the tournament....simple money and bribes talk!

I doubt that very very much. I suspect Blatter knew well in advance  


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

I think despite all the shenanigans surrounding our world cup bid and the problems with fifa ,the choice of country was right.Russia have never had it before and its only fair that they got it this time round.A surprising choice for me was Quatar for the 2022 world cup  didn't expect that at all considering how small the country is and how s@@@@ they are at football
