i do like their stadia relocating idea though; didn't know they'd planned to do that. but still... HOW WEIRD! a bit disappointed oz didn't get it; it would have been a good opportunity to show them what REAL football is, not that aussie rules rubbish

Back to 2018...
Russia was third choice for me, after England and Belguim/Holland.
Russia I hope doesn't get problems like had in past.

The one good thing about it being in the Middle East is that they have the money to really impress!!

What an idiotic decision. Qatar is not even the size of Wales, doesn't have enough stadiums, doesn't have anywhere near enough hotels
Wonder what bribes were given for that, ridiculous

I don't see the problem with England applying for 2026, why wait for 2030.

I'm just going on what they said on the ITV coverage. They said they can't bid again til the 2030s. Is there some sort of buffer before you can reapply?
And of course there's a problem with drink. Football without drink would turn away half the attending crowd! I don't drink myself, but to ignore that it's a major part of the experience is naive.

I assume it's that Europe can only go for certain years, other years go to other parts of the globe? Sam was really looking forward to going to games, he'll be gutted, dont know what more we can dom we gave em Wills, Beckham and err Cameron...
