You heard it here first

A year or so ago I was researching governance in World football. I made the following prediction - England will bid for the 2018 World Cup and to secure bid we will sell the independent representation (in terms of the 4 votes Britain has t the FIFA Congress) down the river so as to court votes of the non-European nations.

 

We will stitch up UEFA and throw away our influence for short-term gain. Mark my words, you heard it hear first.

Sherbet dips rule.

it's not definate that we will bid for world cup as we wanted the 2012 olympics and wanted to secure that.

[Yellow Bungle]

Looks pretty definate to me.

[Barry Scott]

bloody hell, you best get your [****!!****] onto mastermind as you're clearly more intelligent than I. What i meant was all that cryptic bullsh1t about selling votes down the river

[ChrisSpennytown]

Well if we won the 2012 Olmypics we must try for other things and we dont want the stadiums to go 2 waste do we? so we might as well...

How can you say that you fool, you're just inexperienced. Wait until you get to my age then you'll see what I mean.

Like I said ... and expect to see a UK team and subsequent loss of 3 FIFA votes.
