I assume it's that Europe can only go for certain years, other years go to other parts of the globe? I'm sure Sky said this morning that Europe can't get it in 2026 as it has go to The American Continent.

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? I don't think so. The only rule is the same continent can't host consecutive World Cups.

I'd expect Qatar to be able to put on a better World Cup than Russia anyway!

Abu Dabi and Bahrain have both managered without alcohol for F1! F1 fans tend to be more sophisticated than football fans though. Football fans by and large are lower classes and underclasses whereas F1 tends to be middle to upper middle class, you never see Ferrari and McLaren fans having running battles and stabbing each other like you see in football so there is less binge drink culture in F1

F1 has very little to do with booze in the same way football does, come on Paddy!

I really hope The Times, The Mail and the BBC are proud of themselves. They may have been right but what a buch of absolute tw*ts our media actually are!

Not if they go ahead and relax their laws. I'm sure they'll weigh up their beliefs against the losses in tourism/potential upset at those intent on still drinking...

Russia must have had a better bid. End of. The British media severely hindered our bid. The Mail with the Triesman affair, the Times with outing the Nigerian and Fijian(?) last month and the BBC with Panorama earlier this week. If I were a foreign voter it would certainly make me not what to vote for England!

That's the same committee that decided the winners today. English media exposes FIFA corruption - End result: England out in the first round

They could've done it all AFTER the bidding, the same people who supposedly want the World Cup here accusing the people going to vote of being corrupt. At least do it after we've corrupted them into voting for us!

I am not bothered that we didn't get it tbh, don't care much about international football, club is all that matters to me plus taxpayers money being used for upgrading stadiums and so on that are already owned by ultra rich people doesn't appeal to me

So you can surely therefore see out failure is at least partly due to the British media, as being corrupt is exactly what they've accused them of being!
