mrbojangles Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Well I must admit, that was an absolute fantastic bid by all who presented. Prince William showed real passion, Cameron was excellent and flawless and Beckham really impressed me. They showed a film with 4 current managers who are supporting England's bid. Wenger, Mancini, Redknapp and....wait for it.....wait for it.........SAF A Scott taking time out to support OUR bid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSingh Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 That was a much better bid than the Spanish/Portugese one.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northpoint Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 The violence at Birmingham v Aston Villa last night will tip the vote to Spain/Portugal. Which is a real shame as England infrastruture is better. What absolute rubbish.. If you think that, why are Russia even being entertained ?? & why are Spain being entertained with things like this happening over the past few Years, which you haven't seen at English Grounds in two decades or more ?? http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/europe/4751876.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/4024167.stm However, there's no way them Brummies will get away with that sh*t when we are there in Januray, i know that... I hope England gets the nod from FIFA. It will make it so much easier for Germany to win another World Cup so close to home. Poor Germany must be getting sick and tired of only managing second and third places since winning the trophy in 1990. Germany and Brazil have always been the most exciting teams as far as I am concerned. These two teams are a far cry from boring Italy and cheating Argentina. By the way, I am Australian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonrakers Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 (edited) And at at time when they (FIFA) really need to clean up their image.

Old Croc Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Qatar, an absolute monarchy of only about 1.7 million people covering about 11000 sq kms. The country has very little water and the temperatures during the World Cup will likely be in the forties. Their football side has never reached the finals (this is one way of getting there!) and is ranked about 108. On the plus side they have some of the richest oil and gas deposits in the world and close to the highest GDP per capita in the world, they are an arabic country. Not hard to work out how they won 2022. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salty Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Russia where racism is rife 2018 Qatar where the heat will be crucifying 2022. Says it all about FIFA. How many palms have been greased I wonder?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbojangles Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 How many did Spain/Portugal get? Don't know yet. But even though ours was (by FIFA's own admission) the best Technical and Commercial bid, so how on earth can we have come 4th out of 4. What effin criteria is needed to win.

mrbojangles Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Just in. First round votes:- England 2 Holland / Belgium 4 Spain/Portugal 7 Russia 8 (i think) What an absolute joke. If the criteria isn't the best bid FIFA should tell what the criteria is so that6 countries don't waste time, effort, money and most of all....hope.

tso310 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Looks like the NoW sting and the Panorama report must have done some damage. Well thats it until 2030 which is when we are allowed to bid again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
