For NON English fans- World Cup bid

[Fish111]

I'm English and would love to win this bid for obvious and selfish reasons but i don't buy into this 'bring it home' bollocks. We have no devine right to win the bid and i also despise what FIFA stand for and how they operate. I hate all the grovelling to the pricks but we have come this far so we might as well see it through all the way now and go for it 100%. The chance to watch World Cup games in our stadium would be fantastic but if we weren't to win it then i'd want the Spain/Portugal bid to win as going over there to watch a few games in the summer of 2018 would be fantastic as well. Russia is just a total shithole and if they win the bid then it will be one of the dullest World Cups on record, even surpassing the dross that was served up in South Africa.

What time is the announcement today?

Of course I would like England to win it as my favourite team in the world is English ! Would love to see WC matches at COMS.
So Engalnd for 2018 and Australia for 2022.

What time is the announcement today?

I read something that said it would be between 3pm and 7pm.

Edit:Just read it's 3pm.

I obviously would like Holland/Belgium to win, but that ain't gonna happen. England is my second choice. It's a proper football country with great and knowledgeable fans and loads of tradition. It's easy to travel to, time difference isn't an issue when watching it on the telly.

However, I do have one big reservation. A world cup in England would is probably the best chance England has of winning the WC again. And if you did win it on you own home turf, all Englishmen plus the English media would be totally unbearable and so far up their own arses. I'm already a bit tired of the "football coming home" thing, and the result hasn't even been announced yet.

I lived in Russia and I can tell you that the stadia's and infrastructure elsewhere in the country is fucking SHITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT.

No way should they get the bid ahead of ourselves.

That's the reason they might get it, they have 8 years to build it up and that is the legacy.

I don't know if you have noticed but look at how everything has fell apart in this country because of a bit of snow.

Hardly speaks volumes of the infrastructure of this country.

If it snows in July we truly will be fucked

so you don't think the English err British, whichever, invented "soccer" then? Or does it just bore the shit out of you having it rammed down your throat all day long?

Also, a friend told me that the Swedish tactic of offering coffee to every visitor no matter the time of day as expressed in those "Dragon Girl with a Bee Bonnet up Her Ass" books -- you know the Swedish author fucler who's dead -- is a true story? Fact or Fiction?

cheers

Out of all the bids and presentations we do deserve it. Ours is the simply the best bid, yet FIFA don't take that into consideration. Sepp Blatter thinks of himself and the male Mother Theresa, South Africa and Brazil are risky bids and so is Quatar, surely Fifa would want a "safe" bid?

COME ON ENGLAND!!

On question A I answer B. On question B I answer Yes, it's true. Sweden and Finland are the two countries in the world that drink the most coffee. The average Swede drinks 3.4 cups a day, but this statistic is based on the whole population, toddlers, tea-drinkers and bums included. Offering your guest a cup is the minimal level of courtesy. The only exemptions from this rule is Jehovah's Witnesses and burglars.

[Fullartj]

As an Irish Man living in London I would love to see England get the World Cup!

As for that Panorama programe I wouldnt worry about that. It basically told us nothing new as everyone knows full well that FIFA are a bunch of corrupt Scumbags!

i only drink tea so i would be grossly offended being offered coffee all the time, does this exclude me from ever visiting Sweden & Finland? So much for the European love-in eh? They all look so friendly toward each other on my old videos.

Most Swedes keep a box with teabags, way beyond their sell-by-date, stored at the back of some cupboard, just in case some uncivilised visitor will decline the coffee and ask for a cup of tea. It will be held against you.

I still can't believe these european philistines drink tea without milk...barbarians

Most Swedes put milk in their tea. I don't, though. I'm hard like that.

Hold on Erik... I'm sure even a very tough super macho like You... :-) wouldn't mind to have a good black tea (Assam, Darjeeling) with few milk drops on freezy lazy afternoon...
... and my point is... it depends on the tea and the weather!... mind You, Hollander... :-)

[one man army]

tea with milk is a crime. fact.

[BmoreBlue]

Can someone tell me how many cycles a region must wait before submitting a WC bid? Will England and the rest of Europe be able to bid on the 2026 WC? I've heard conflicting stories about having to wait one or two cycles.

Cheers.

Dunno Mate, and tbh i dont give a shit. What I'd like, in this fucking world where everything is on sale is that the European FAs would allied and made all the money FIFA gets from european football weighing more.
England knocked out at first round, with the best facilities, the greatest tradition, the best social programs developed through football and Price William as delegate, it's a disgrace for all sportsmen europewide!

[Ted Hughes]

I think it's 2030 before England could possibly host it but by that time they'll br ready to give it Spain or someone else more favoured by the current mob again. England will never host a World Cup so long as the present organisation exists unless one of the countries goes bankrupt & they want us to bail it out. They'll give us the Euros again as a softener.
