Garantee that the British media will be investigating possible corruption with many a fine toothed comb. Might be interesting. **** the sour grapes accusations; FIFA is corrupt, Russia is corrupt.

**** that at least if it had gone to Australia I could have got a nice holiday out of it tooOriginally posted by Tee View PostQatar beating Australia is the only consolation. At least if we are going down the Aussies are coming with us....
We managed to rectify it, though, because it now says, "Cook" where it once said "Cock", and "Pass" where it once said "Piss", so it’s slightly less rude.

Football's sordid relationship with money is officially complete. Sure they're determined to drive fans away #beyondajokeOliverKayTimes Oliver Kay
Only Fifa could class Qatar as the biggest risk of all the bidders and then vote for it. Joke of an organisationThanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’

At least they have 11 years to naturalise some Brazilians.Originally posted by elrichio86 View PostQater are currently ranking 113th and now get to qualify automatically for the World Cup. What a joke..."Its not about the long ball or the short ball, its about the right ball." Bob Paisley

Originally posted by Neil Young View PostYou could ask the same of any of the bidders. And let's be honest the scope for a lasting legacy (whatever that means in practice) is greater in Russia and Qatar than it is here.
The winning bids are the ones which promise to build for the future similar to South Africa.
Plus Britain/England was never going to win in a popularity contest for various reasons.

They've got 12 years to do that, maybe they deserve a chance don't you think? They've got the resources to put something into place.Originally posted by Alex View PostIt is, but do you really think Qatar wanted it to build a footballing Legacy? Or do you think they wanted it because they need to look good?Are we winning?

Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.
May the Lord bless this post.

I would have at least them to start from some sort of base. But as far as I can tell their starting from absolutly Zero. At least the rest of the bidders had some sort of footballing past.Originally posted by NigelLG View PostThey've got 12 years to do that, maybe they deserve a chance don't you think?

Am I right in thinking that teams from a confederation that has hosted one of the two previous tournements can't bid for the next one? So no European country can bid to host in 2026 (as 2018 will be in Russia) so the next one England could bid for would be 2030??The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.
