World Cup Bid

[swansea jack]

1549: England bid ambassador and BBC presenter Gary Lineker has confirmed that England were knocked out in the first round of voting. They came fourth out of four. I'm stunned

[Ginger Ninjas]

I'm looking forward to two consecutive world cups built with effectively slave labor.

3 South Africa

TBF it'd be annoying if we'd just been pipped to the post.

Don't see the issue with Qatar. Good to see it go to a region that hasn't had it before.


oh and being drunk in public in Qatar usually results in publish lashings or a prison sentence

[superreadingfan]

4 world cups in a row im not interested in the slightest of visiting whether it be fear of dying or just bad location or just boring location

Shame on you Blatters

Yet you don't see this as an issue? Some us happen to like being drunk in public.

That'll teach them to name Milton Keynes as a host stadium.

Apart from the country itself being completely unsuitable to play football in?

They are having to build all the stadiums especially so they can host this event. Playing football in the middle of the day in Qatar is absolutely insane.

[Svlad Cjelli]

Scotland and Wales are so disgusted with the decision that they've pledged to boycott both tournaments.

[Uke]

Cameron, Bex and Wills are going out there to rescue it...

...while Vladimir Putin has their children in a cage tied over a pit full of hungry bears

So that's it settled then

^ told you all!

[RFCMod]

so there wont be a civilised world cup for about 20 years germany 2006 to 2026 sad

Anyone who thinks they're going to Russia to soak up the culture and explore a mysterious territory may be quite surprised of the welcome they get from Sergei and his chums as they either knock the seven shades of sh*t out of you or chase you round town

[prostak]

The Qatari authorities did assure FIFA they'd loosen drinking laws for the tournament's duration. It's not like anyone but terrified Bangladeshi laborers actually lives there anyway.

[Maguire]

This is all part of the Muslim plan to take over the world. We must fight back.

I was looking forward to the worlds reaction to a world cup game in Plymouth

?

So what if they are having to build the stadiums. As long as they are done on time and suitable what does it matter?

Stadiums will be air conned too so the weather won't be a problem.

Brazil 2014?

maybe ...

[Royal Rother]

I don't really care tbh, but we all know that anything that can be bought will be bought, and World Cups are no different it seems.

Not really. I felt after the presentations this morning that we were clearly the best bid but made my antipathy about the outcome clear long ago.

Do you believe that England had the worst of the 4 bids?

Do you believe that money and prejudice had no part to play in the outcome?

[who are ya?]

Can't wait...................
