England 2018 bid defeated

[nivek]

The temperature drops significantly at night (desert). They don't (and most likely won't) host it at 13.00 every day.

So then they can only have 2 games a day during the group stages, which means the tournament will run longer than its supposed to, remember most of FIFA's revenue comes from TV and its highly unlikely they'll want to broadcast 2 games at the same time

Brits have:

Terrorisim (and as still fighting a war)
hooliganisim
and Chavs

I cant believe they even put in a bid

Russia's hooliganism is far far far worse
Oh, and they have skinheads? Probably also worse than chavs

And erm.. oh yeah, they have terrorism too, chechnya?

That idiot Terry Paine said the exact same thing the year Greece won it. It continued to be a complete and utter snore. It's only eurocentrics who think that, there's only a handful of strong football nations on europe.

This perceived strength is all imagined.

The quarter finals of the WC 2010 were all South American and European teams? and 3 of the Semi finalists were European?

Imagined..

What is interesting is that the English bid got only 1 vote and another from their own. Maybe they need to accept that they don't have friends in FIFA.
I wonder who is the other executive that voted for them ?

And a half of the South African population.

Even that wasn't enough to save them....

Ah yea, 1 team out of 8
Point still stands though, African football is poor
Out of 32 teams, only 1 that isnt from Europe or S. America made it to the quarters

Spent like 3 weeks in Russia last year! AWESOME AWESOME place!! I love Russia and woudl love to go back. Having the world cup there would be a good excuse to go back!

 

[Polymathic]

Correct! Making Moscow a European city

either way europe isn't really a continent if you think about it.

 

[Nerfherder]

either way europe isn't really a continent if you think about it.

Also England is an Island anyway.

Why don't we give all the islands a chance ? How about St Helena next ?

 

[racer]

So FIFA's own evaluation report is a U.K tabloid......

so you read it yourself then?
