Yes, you may note I didn't say I wanted to see it in Belgium. Legolas Send a noteboard - 02/12/2010 08:15:44 PM
Not till FIFA is seriously reformed so it isn't making giving the World Cup to countries on the condition that their government bend over backwards for them first - I'm glad Russia is better at bribing than us:P

The FIFA rules really do need to change a good deal, and one has to fear that having the World Cup in several developing countries in a row will make the FIFA only more used to being able to take over the government of the hosting country.

So if it had been in England, the English hooligans could've shown their usefulness to the world for the first and only time ever, by putting an end to those ridiculous FIFA ideas about banning pubs within a mile radius of stadiums from serving other beer than that of the sponsor. Plus, England might actually have done well again for once, which I'd have liked to see.

Qatar has bags of money to spend. FIFA officials love bags of money snoopcester - 02/12/2010 03:57:28 PM 323 Views

I would like to refer you to Druid's recent post about South Korea's 2022 bid snoopcester - 02/12/2010 03:45:32 PM 294 Views

Can't argue with that. *NM* snoopcester - 02/12/2010 03:58:51 PM 125 Views
That's somewhat boring. Both results. *NM* ironclad - 02/12/2010 03:47:32 PM 124 Views

That'd make the Cuponly ever rotate between about three or four countries Stephen - 02/12/2010 05:17:11 PM 415 Views
I think you misunderstand. Palatine - 02/12/2010 05:39:54 PM 325 Views
That would just be anarchic and really drawn out Stephen - 02/12/2010 09:36:48 PM 401 Views
True on both counts, but there's precedent. *NM* Palatine - 03/12/2010 05:52:29 PM 124 Views
That would miss the point rather snoopcester - 02/12/2010 09:39:48 PM 273 Views
The point being seeing all the best teams in one place over a short period of time? Palatine - 03/12/2010 06:01:46 PM 315 Views
Boo. On both counts. I wanted to see the former in England, and the latter in Australia. *NM* Legolas - 02/12/2010 07:03:36 PM 134 Views
