I think he's correct to be honest. We're blaming him for what we couldn't do.

It was all rigged and bought for by the Arabs!!!

My Dad made reference to the Arabs as well. Wasn't it the 2022 World Cup Qatar got? I'm sure 2018 went to Russia.

Yeah your right, just saying that as FIFA is corrupt. Russia probably used blood/oil money to bribe FIFA too!

I think you're proving Blatter correct. We weren't the only country to miss out on the World Cup, yet we're the only nation complaining about it.*

Nah he's wrong. I hate him cos he's a cunt- Simple.

He is a cluless idiot in charge of a totally corrupt organisation. Apart from that though he's not bad.

Maybe you should look at why your bids never made the cut, rather than blaming everyone,

America only held a World cup in 94, That wasn't too long ago when you think the amount of country's that have NEVER held a world up or a major competition

England had it in 66, again Other country's out there who deserve it, plus the fact that your troubling support, and weeks before the bids the trouble with B'ham and Villa i'm sure it was with flairs being chucked at one another,


I agree with Both country's not getting the world cup but i don't agree on who they went to... Netherlands-Belgium think that would have been a really good host place, with the colour and football Holland bring to the world cup,

For 22, i would have giving it to Australia there used to holding big events its an amazing country and with the likes of New Zealand having a good world cup last year it had the chance of being a amazing world cup and at same time promoting football over there more,

Do you agree that Sepp Blatter isn't a very good FIFA president though?

Holland-Belgium only held the euros 12 years ago. I was disappointed we lost but tbh, the true real farce was Qatar getting it. Russia ok they got some strong teams, fanbases (albeit racist ones) and stadia. I think a lot of people also suspect the whole bribery thing because Abramovich is involved, and its Russia...

He's a fanny, who has turned a mans game into just a game. I feckin hate him, corrupt, senile racist bastard.

But they have never hosted a World cup and for a Country like Holland and as i said the fans and colour they bring to every world cup does deserve one rather than giving it to others who have been lucky enough to host one,


I completely agree with the Quatar thing they don't deserve it but it is called the world cup which means its to promote word football its never been in a Arab country before so why not give it a bash they have money which means they are going to build state of the art stadiums probs be demolished afterwords lol, Plus with the no drink Law there shouldn't be much bother, But will be one of the worst world cups, Half empty stadiums depending on how big they build them because of its Location, the drinking laws, the heat, They will hope on the Locals to fill the stadiums which i very much doubt will happen with a population of just under 2m, and with football not being a big sport, The cost to get there as'well will be scary !

They's rather choose a Racist Country than Enlands where fans fire flares (according to scottish member on here) If FIFA are so strict on Racism then Russia would not have gotten this.

FIFA can fuck off, The English FA need to ditch FIFA. I'd be veyr happy with just English or UK football, we don't need anyone else! Send the foreigners home too!!!

The US world cup was awful they have half empty stadiums when the USA weren't playing. They should NEVER host it ever!!!
