The whole point, is that Fifa should not base the result on who they like, who they dont like period!!
It is a popularity contest as much as anything else, so it IS based on who can present themselves the best.

Yeah, bribes too, but if the brits were just a bit nicer on around I am sure you would be having a fighting chance.

Not saying that was the only reason England didn't get it but it must have played a part in some of the undecided officials minds.

I don't really care, we already have two of the three world's biggest sporting tournaments coming here with the Olympics in 2012 and the Rugby World Cup in 2015.
Football is already extremely popular here, probably to the detriment of other sports. England didn't give the world football so they could make it corrupt.
The FA will force a clean-up of FIFA's bidding process however, this won't be the end.Last edited by Weebler I; 12-03-2010, 11:19 AM.

Jack Warner is and always has been a spineless, unscrupulous scumbag. Men like him are why corruption is rife in FIFA. They milk every last penny from the game, while claiming to be furthering it. The media attack on FIFA was one of the main reasons England didn't get the World Cup, but I don't blame the media. FIFA should have been delighted that corruption was being rooted out, but the fact that they reacted badly tells us that they liked things just the way they were - the reason being that they are all corrupt to the ****ing core.

Plus, Putin is a stud, it's very hard to vote against Russia when the bastard is looking you in the eye.
He's watching
