England lose bid to host the 2018 World Cup!

[JFKvsNixon 11]

Things may be going England's way. The recent WikiLeaks sensation has revealed that the USA consider Russia to be a virtual mafia state in which $300 billion are paid a year in bribes.

 

With these allegations coming hours before Putin was due to address Fifa's executive committee in Zurich in support of Russia's bid to host the 2018 World Cup. Putin last night abruptly cancelled his trip, complaining of a smear campaign to "discredit" Fifa members. Click here for more.

 

Is this game on?

Certainly getting positive vibes from the people out there. I still think it's pretty distasteful to see our representatives pimping themselves to that bunch of crooked spivs.

Any chance we had disappeared with those idiots at the Birmingham v Villa match.

I think north Korea should host it personally it would be hilarious trying to pronounce the stadium names.

Not on the same scale as what goes on in Russia. Plus, if overt racism was a factor then Spain wouldn't stand a chance either.

Bookies have England favourites now:

 

England 4/6

Russia 9/4

Portugal and Spain 4/1

Belgium and Holland 33/1

 

I still think the ruskies though.

The decision appears to be delayed. I think the officials might be holding out for larger bribes.
