The World Cup 2018 goes to...

:-(

That decision stinks like an unwashed fanny. Corrupt bastards will all be holidaying on the Russians yacht in the coming months.

Yep :-(

Putin was so certain he didn't even bother going to the presentation.

Blatter keeps his job by bribing third world football fa's to back him.

I'd love a few of the real footballing nations to stick two fingers up at him and break away.

Qatar too :-D

I mean, nothing against them, but what sort of "legacy" do they need there? Average temperature in June/July something like 35C and can easily reach over 40C Football will be utter garbage.

Oh, fans won't even be able to have a bloody drink either

Yeah, I heard that too. However, the stadiums aren't going to be closed so I don't know how they can properly air condition them. Guess we'll find out :-)

Only 4 votes in the first round speaks volumes. For what most people agree was probably the best bid this is just ridiculous.

One of them was Englands.

Torygraph are alleging that Blatter gave all the delegates a dossier with the press reports on FIFA corruption before the voting commenced. He'll get a nice little cash gift from his pals vladimir and King Fadh.
