If the FA had any credibility it would have told FIFA and UEFA to fuck off a long time ago.We like to think tht the game is straight, it isnt, if its corrupt at the top then its rotten underneath
I don't agree. FIFA seems to go around like some medieval Royal Court demanding tax-breaks and changes to laws and a bribe is a bribe however long ago it was. Jack Warner's still there in a voting capacity, isn't he? If modern football is a cynical money-making exercise, it's FIFA that is at least culpable, if not responsible. Fuck the World Cup bid!

What James said.
if we lose out with the bid, it will become just another stick with which to beat the BBC with, whether we would have won it with or without the program, the BBC will get the blame
It will be great watching the world cup from our moral high-ground 1500 miles away.
