Watching all the build-up in the 'British' media to the announcement of who would hold the next two World Cups has been almost as bad as during the event itself.
So well done Russia and Qatar! |

A sky reporter was asking some pundit, without a hint of irony, but with a large dose of bitter resentment, 'Why don't FIFA like England?'...
I think England could have done it really well, but that's the way the cookie crumbles. |

it fits with Blatter's 'legacy' ideal.
Not so sure that there will be much of a legacy in Qatar though. 40 degrees is a bit hot to run around in for 90 minutes.... |

They will have to play all of the games at night. When we lived in the Middle East, my mom used to play tennis at 3 in the am so that she could play for at least 3 hours. |

They're planning on climate controlled stadia - and knowing the Gulf states a bit, I think they'll manage it |

All the stadiums in QATAR will be dismantled after the games and given to developing countries .... England could do with a few of them:-) |
