Guest chopey Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Every country should have the opportunity to host if there bid is credible I don't think it's fair that some countries have hosted more than once and others have never had the opportunity Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Places like Qatar don't tick any of those boxes. You can say that Russia deserve the opportunity, but it's absolute bullshit that an organisation can say they want to end racism and homophobia in football and then reward fucking Russia with a World Cup. It's pathetic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigfella Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Andrew Jennings @AAndrewJennings I gave the FBI the crucial documents that triggered yesterday's arrests. There will be more to come. Blatter is a target. That's the guy they interviewed on Colin Murray's show on Talksport yesterday who was understandably overjoyed at this turn of events He reckons the evidence he gave the FBI is enough to send the whole lot of them down, including Blatter. Also said they'll have to re-allocate the next two world cups, with 2018 likely coming to England, with Holland and Belgium as another possibility and the 2022 finals going to the USA.

Taylor Swift Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Really, developing countries should not get the WC. Too many bribes happen along the way and the infrastructure development that occurs is unnatural and almost too often never used by the public after. It really should be middle income and above countries if you're looking for a first time host. Brazil, as great as their history, should not have hosted it. How much money went into the hands of politicians and well-connected people is such a shame. The political institutions aren't ready for the massive amount of government spending on areas that haven't been gone through the proper planning and assessment.
