England Team Thread

Out first bloody round.

We had an insanely good bid. This has made me so incredibly angry, both at the corrupt tossers in FIFA and the BBC and Times who killed what little chance we had.

What more can we do to get this competition?

**** blatter

Most people here are going to be middle-aged > old before we're even up with another shot.

Confirmed, Russia gets it. Arse.

[Flabio]

I figured Russia were always going to get it, they tend to want the world cup to go countries where they're wanting to grow the game and infrastructure, and that suits Russia pretty well.

[Team Andromeda]

Fifa buch of corrupt scumbags, stick your world cup !! maybe by 2030 they will have some fair voters on the team. Thank you daily mail / other press and panorama for helping to ruin the bid too!

worst choice of the 4 by far,

The Press only reported the truth . face it we'll never get it. FIFA hate our guts and are corrupt.

I hate chelsea now

Yes that is why. Football is pretty much at it's saleable potential limit in this country, we don't need a World cup though I would have loved to see it here.

Qatar get 2022.

Trying to be neutral, Russia and Qatar are good winners if you're looking to expand the game into new territories etc.. Although I'd have preferred Australia for 2022.

[MarioMark]

Qatar get 2022.

Everyone starts googling "Qatar"

[Flabio]

Qatar is a very odd choice. Not one many fans will want to go to, no alcohol and that.

[yesteryeargames]

yes true or not, if they cared at all about the bid they would have kept silent or handled it better all the care about are sales, BBC panorama truthful but why show it just before the bid,

So we can end up with another "wonderful" world cup like the last one? No atmosphere in the stadia (BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ) and no memorable games?

Now we get the the 'fun' of games across 9 different time zones.

Qatar won it too. A country that needs to build 9 stadia.

FIFA are corrupt scumbags

[toythatkills]

Qatar won it too. A country that needs to build 9 stadia.

But the stadia they're planning to build look totally awesome.

When can we bid again?

I wanted Australia for 2022. Qatar has nothing to offer in footballing terms. Australia has a decent national team and at least a fairly good football league infrastucture.
I agree there is nothing wrong with Russia getting it. They are a good footballing nation and it is a new place to hold it.

[Baseley09]

Not eligible until 2030 I believe.

The Qatar idea sounds cool though with the super stadia complex all next to each other.

2030...
