  1. The 11 hour time difference will be fun!
  2. These 2 countries were willing to pay the most is my guess.....


  4. Probably. England weren't going to win because Sepp Blatter just does not like the nation. I would've thought they'd choose a much richer nation in terms of football heritage than Russia though. Only way England will get it now is either wait until 2030's or hope Brazil mess up between now and 2014. Then it'd probably go to nation ranked way down the rankings, Papua New Guinea 2014? Or are they shortlisted for 2026?

    I'm not bothered that England didn't get it in all fairness, more bothered by who have got 2018 and 2022.
  5. Predictions for this weekend's matches can be posted in the predictions thread


  6. Indeed !

    Still proud about Belgium and Holland though.
  7. Reportedly, England receieved only 2 votes. Pathetic.
  8. I can understand Russia, Eastern Europe for a change. But Qutar ? Average temperatures of 42 degrees celcius and their national team

    I heard they are gonna create some sort of system in the stadiums, to regulate the the temperatures inside the stadiums.

    With these two winners I think the Fifa prove again that they are really corrupt, because Qutar and Russia are the two richest countries which they could choose.
    Blatter said something that he was really happy Poetin was there because he is a good promoter for Russia, but he was the only famous people for Russia. England got Beckham, the prince and the prime minister. Belgium/holland got Cruijff, Gullit, Hiddink, the prime minister of Holland and Pfaff.

    Fifa=Maffia
  10. Still airconditioning doesnt feel the same.

    Anyway bit easy to say Fifa=maffia, if you ask a couple of persons where to hold the WC they will give you their opinion. If you like it or not, there was a vote.
    Of course there are lots of lobbyists, but its just like politics. You promise someone mountains of gold, people will come tot collect.

    In a way I am glad the WC isnt coming to Holland, saves us lots of money. Because be honest: what will Feyenoord do with a stadium with a capacity of 82 000 ? Not to mention the smaller stadiums that were up for expansion.

    BTW: Putin wasnt there at all today?
  11. Interesting round in the prediction thread. Lots of different answers
