Its all coming out of the woodwork now

There was nothing FIFA could do about changing the result so offered money compensation in lieu of the error

No, it was a compensation payment triggered when Blatter broke a non disclosure agreement. The '33rd team' joke.

Delaney should go anyway, he's useless.

I'm sure you are right but I worry that if FIFA can effectively offer to 'share' their cash pot with its members without any worry then its members may not be as shocked as the media seems to be about this tactic.
Our own FA may have much to hide or disclose if exposed to similar offers by an uncaring FIFA in the past.

Before English fans point their fingers at other nations like Russia for racism issues, they need to have a good look at themselves. England is known to have the worst fans in the world, for hooliganism and violence. Incidents like Heysel. Plus Euro 1996 was the worst Euro ever hosted. Full of violence, bombings and rioting. Not to mention, a Russian football fan was murdered during 1996. I'm not saying Russia is better than England, no way I am. I'm just saying no country is perfect and England is no better than Russia when it comes to fan violence/racism.

It's very good Russia got it, but the second best option would've been Netherlands/Belgium, not England.

England has come a long way in 20 years in terms of racism and violence. You need to update your thinking its out of date. Russian football is full of racism, violence and your country's attitude towards minorities and homosexuals is from the dark ages.

I understand but at the time England got the 1996 Euro, England was a bad place for football fans in general. So it's hypocrisy for English fans to speak on this issue.

England wasn't as bad for minorities and homosexuals as Russia is and our hooligan problem was largely on the mend by 96. Russia has an awful long way to go and is now a long way behind England in 96, its more like England in 76, in terms of social and football violence issues.

I havent got a problem with the world cup being in Russia though, its a huge country and if it really is a world cup then it should have probably gone there before now, China is another nation that it should go to at some point, despite their issues, they proved at the Olympics they can hold a multi national event just fine.

Did all that really happen during Euro 96? The only bother I can recall is after England lost in the semi, and that was pretty much confined to Trafalgar Square iirc.

WRONG,wrong wrong..... England & Australia were the best options. england is ready to host in an instant, the only nations that could do that would be fra,ita,ger,US and spain.

russia is a bad choice as the distance between cities is huge, travel expenses for fans is ridiculous. Russian fans have a notorious racist attitude in both domestic and international home games. Although I think russia would deserve to host it ,after spain ( IMO) , as a european nation in twenty years.


I dont know why he mentioned a terrorist attack either?????
