Carol and I today were planning our trip to Brazil for 2014. Given I didn't attend any World Cup games in France in 1998 or in Germany in 2006, I don't know when else I will be able to go to a World Cup. I don't think I would go to Russia in 2018 or Qatar in 2022 and I will be 61 by 2026 anyway.

Source: unreliable.
But story, if true is a little odd.
Best mate at uni is from the area, and is an AFC Bournemouth supporter.

I think it is most likely true tbh, the "paper" hates anyone who is not white, middle aged and middle class so the fact that even they are not defending Pizza Hut and are discrediting them for racism makes me think there is an element of truth in it

"Since several associations from different confederations have already declared their interest in bidding, the FIFA executive came to the conclusion that as from 2018 the bidding procedure should once again be open to all continents, except those parts of the world that have hosted the two previous tournaments." www.fifa.com/aboutfifa/federation/administration/releases/newsid=625122.html#rotation+ends+2018So the hosts in 2026 can't be from Europe or Asia... perhaps Australia will get it then.

The report doesn't say that. What Sportugal were trying to do was get a vote swap - i.e. everyone voting for the Iberian bid would vote for the Qatari bid and vice versa. All the report there suggests is that we were trying to get Qatari support. Subtle difference. Whether there's anything more to it than that, I don't know.
