The Netherlands presentation was so **** I thought at one point they were going to go off script and say what we're all thinking "look guysh...the truth is... we have weed, really good weed."

I can't believe they got 4 votes Must've been the stoners.

It was atrocious.

India or China 2026. Guaranteed.

You know what I wouldnt be so bothered about it going there. They are the 2 biggest countries in the world. Especially India. Vast majority of the population loves football. There just **** at it

China not so much, but mainly due to there human rights record.

But to give it to a country that is basically as big as a city is a joke.

The Russian presentation was a joke. There was nothing in it to suggest they should have got the WC. It seemed like they were just going through the motions. There was nothing in it saying how they are going to help develop youth football, help the communities and the people. All you got was the deputy prime minister and the village idiot lookalike Arshavin babbling with "with deserve world cup"

There was nothing constructive in their bid but then there didn't need to be.

"I love football, we English love football - that's why it would be such an honour for us to host the 2018 World Cup"

Now please can we host the world cup Mr Blatter. Pretty please.

Go on then what exactly is wrong with the Russian bid?

Not a lot, apart from the terrible problems in that country with hooliganism and racism. Maybe the WC will help stamp all that out, maybe it won't.

Never said there was a great deal wrong with their bid. Has anyone? Except Tony Gale?

Into the freezer in Russia, then off to the oven in Qatar, a great way to guarantee good football being played, have it in extreme condidtions.

[CJ]

i would say that there should be a rotation.

with Europe getting one then America (south/central/north) then one to a developing football country

also no one has stll answered that IF the two world cups were about going somewhere new then why didnt Fifa say at the beginning or more importantly why did anyone vote for Spain or us or holland.

i can see the logic of going to Russia but it is very risky as well.

They're not planning on playing the world cup in the Russian winter.
