World Cup Hosts 2018 and 2022

It's been won by Russia and Qatar. I don't mind bid was won by Russia but the only 2 votes to England's bid was disgrace and BBC and the Sunday Times's article about corruption in FIFA has certainly damaged our reputation and bid. How on earth free country, free press stupid attitude?! I don't understand. It's pure madness.

2022 going to Qatar is mad. Small oil rich country with small population without no history in football, never qualified to any major international event gets to host the biggest sporting event in the world is mad. Well Japan was same like Qatar back in 1996 never been to World Cup but they managed to qualify 98 and has been regular and steady competitor in World Cup tournament. But it's all about money. But positive side is that World Cup is going to the place where football is still developing and not so popular so that is good. Spread the football for good cause. So it's not all that bad but I think big nation like England contributed to football so much and I think we (Obviously me being English man and little bias) deserve to have one more tournament here.

 

It's very controversial.

Oh yeah I forgot to mention this before but congratulations to Nagoya Grampus for winning the J-League title for the first time in 18 years and well done to cult Serbian legend Stojkovic.
