We can't bid for 2026 so it will be 2030 (if we get it!) so make that 64 years!

But if that is what they intend to do they should have stated it at the start and not had other countries spend millions trying to get a competition they had no chance of getting.
But of course if they had done that they wouldn’t have had all the 5star corporate jollies all over the world, picking up all their freebies before finally taking the big bung from the “winner”
Spot on if the intention is to spread football around the world why let us spend £15 mill putting a bid in. If anything i think we should sue FIFA for our fucking £15 mill back.

Lol-No one asked the fa to spend that amount of money-money that they plainly could not afford to lose.wonder how much Golden balls was paid to fly here there and everywhere...i,d imagine Arshavin was paid a fraction to help the russian bid...
And you can probably find evidence of a "bung culture" a little closer to home ..all around you..the deals being done on the golf course,the corruption which leads to tory/labour party donations and the donor becoming a "lord"..the fingers in the trough mentality of so many current players and managers..and we call fifa bent..cos we didn,t win?

i don't understand why you see it as corrupt that we haven't hosted for 60 years. the voting and lobbying process is corrupt but you can't say that the 60 years alone means it's corrupt. i would say that the fact that qatar won over austrlia suggests far more corruption than russia winning over us. i was shocked we only got 1 vote and finished behind holland/belgium, but not surprised at all by losing to russia.
manchester blue said:I assume the previous poster is on a transparaent wind up. "The winners would not be champions if England were not there". FFS, what have we done since '66? Some people have a mighty high opinion of ourselves [England]. Very, very misplaced. The English PL is only a good league because of the players we can attract due to Sky money. Take it away and we'd become just like the Austrian league. The English national team is crap, overhyped crap and too many people think we have a devine right because we have a good PL product.
Tough, well done Russia.
