Even the Ozzies have been shafted. One of the hot favourites and ended up with just 1 vote.
Call time on FIFA.

A lad I know who lives in Dubai can't stand the place when Ramadan is on. Hates it because the rules get even stricter and books his jollies for the period.
I know Ramadan changes dates each year when will it be in 2022?
I've just about had enough of FIFA and UEFA to be honest. I think a very serious protest should be made over this. FIFA should not underestimate just how powerful the FA (note: Not the English FA, but simply THE FA) and the Premier League are in world football. I would propose a full-scale boycott of European and International football. The International game would survive but the Champions League would be brought to its knees in absence of our top clubs.
FIFA need to clean its act up. I find it both ironic and quite apt that FIFA, an institution rife with corruption has chosen one of the most corrupt nations on the planet to host the world cup

This is how the voting went:
Round 1: England 2 votes, Netherlands/Belgium 4 votes, Spain/Portugal 7 votes and Russia 9 votes.
Round 2: Netherlands/Belgium 2 votes, Spain/Portugal 7 votes and Russia 13 votes (Russia obtain absolute majority)
So let me get this straight... 2 people who voted for Netherlands/Belgium in round 1 suddenly changed their mind and voted for Russia in round 2, even though the Netherlands/Belgium bid was still left in?
What's that all about?

Unbelievable. The trouble is, in a couple of weeks it will all die down, everyone will look forward to two new world cup hosts, the bbc panorama will get all the abuse whilst the real criminals will continue to do what they have done for years.
Someone has already said it but someone from the English bid should come out and tell them exactly what they think has happened, and no holding back!
The 2022 votes look just a dodgy, their must have been people voting for 2/3 different countries in each of rounds
Round 1: Australia 1 vote, Japan 3 votes, Korea Republic 4 votes, Qatar 11 votes, USA 3 votes (Australia eliminated)
Round 2: Japan 2 votes, Korea Republic 5 votes, Qatar 10 votes and USA 5 votes (Japan eliminated)
Round 3: Korea Republic 5 votes, Qatar 11 votes, USA 6 votes (Korea Republic eliminated)
Round 4: Qatar 14 votes and USA 8 votes (Qatar obtained an absolute majority)
Round 1: Australia 1 vote, Japan 3 votes, Korea Republic 4 votes, Qatar 11 votes, USA 3 votes (Australia eliminated)
Round 2: Japan 2 votes, Korea Republic 5 votes, Qatar 10 votes and USA 5 votes (Japan eliminated)
Round 3: Korea Republic 5 votes, Qatar 11 votes, USA 6 votes (Korea Republic eliminated)
Round 4: Qatar 14 votes and USA 8 votes (Qatar obtained an absolute majority)
