    It really is a sitcom.

    The World Cup will be in Russia in 2018.

    However Qatar.....Am sure it was all very legitimate but strange a country that has never qualified, that is too hot for the summer, that doesnt allow gay people, where you cant drink alcohol, that has little existing infrastructure ..... wins the rights to host.

      Football. WGAF?

      At least the people that run Formula One are above reproach.
      Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

        I too think it's too late for the 2018 World Cup - however...

        Sanctions, a further slap in Putin's face, lever to get out of Krym, why not? Especially if the Major FA's pull out of FIFA which isn't that unlikely now....

          It costs Bernie a fortune to stay above reproach, not as much as it would if he were honest but still a lot of money.

            I guess it's fairly expensive to get away with being that corrupt.

            The whole corruption in football question does rather smack of "is the Pope a Catholic? do bears crap in the woods?" type of questions.

            There's so much money in top flight football it's a given that it's benter than a very bent thing.

              .
              Cannot argue with that - no one in the right mind could ever consider that Qatar got the WC without vote rigging and corruption.

              Problem is due to what you say and also the time difference it will be a huge flop....

              Football will not be a winner on that day.

                  It's Tatar originally and was stolen by Russia (originally) from Turkey.

                  Doesn't matter anyway.

                    Indeed like England was stolen by France in 1066
