Just reading some of the comments on here and other sites it is hardly surprising that we didnt win the bid is it?
Many many moons ago the English were renown for fair play. Now we are just a country of whingers and whiners who cannot understand how anyone else other than their choice can win a vote or even a football match. We see that on here every time we fail to win. We swear at the players,manager and /or board members and, on occasions one another.
We seem unable to accept/take defeat. This time it is down to bribes and corruption. To me it just reflects why we received so few votes but why can so few of you see it?
O.M.G.........the rest of the world in "stitch up of the english" shock horror headline!......wake up boys and girls it ain't about football,we side with america on many issues ,and this my chums upsets a lot of people.......you only have to look at how they all turn on us in that world renowned festival of "sticking the knife" in the english "THE EUROVISION SONG CONTEST",seriously though everyone hates us,until they need soilders,money,equipment etc.  |

We could never have an alternative WC - our football is just as much in the pockets of the money grubbers as FIFA is. Just look at who owns the Prem clubs and look at the players in there.
They don't love England, they don't love the English, they don't love football .... they just worship money. The Prem is a ready made cash cow and the ones who feed it are the same fans who are now moaning that England is the "home of football" and that we should have got the Cup.
Can't these supporters see that they have made that impossible by being conned into this Sky controlled scam financed by oil money from America, Russia and the Middle East? They can't have it both ways - they want to see a Prem full of so-called international stars and that means giving away the England game. England is finished in football terms, sad but true, and it was the fans who blindly followed the club chairmen and the FA who have done it.
this post is why i come on here,and why i know its right to follow an "unfashionable" team......no matter what our differences are politically, and ideologically,we will always have this feeling of brotherhood,we as town fans,sticking two fingers up to the world of greed and glory-hunting idiots.  |

Well at least we've got the 2013 Rugby League World Cup (along with Wales). Only just over 2 years away as well!  |

Nobody likes America either (a lot more than they hate us) but they still get awarded things. They came second to Qatar in the other World Cup.

Yes, that's right. There was nothing anti-English as such. The media moan was a blind. The decision was made weeks if not months ago on the basis of filthy lucre. We can't compete with that and we can't moan about it either because our own game has been ruined by the same greed and graft at the top of the game. And the fans have foolishly colluded with it. Every time somebody buys a Torres shirt or Teves underpants from a club shop it is another nail in the coffin for the English national side. |
