2018 world cup - Tile Advice

[Gazzer]

Rumours stating England never got passed 1st round of voting.....thats about right for England though isnt it ?
Not that I am bothered either way but I do wonder how much money this has all cost so far when it could all be decided at a meeting of those in charge for next to nothing.

and the Result is.........

















Russia :yikes:

What a joke! It will be like playing here! Money talks and cow poo walks!

Think if the money we have saved by not getting it. The country is on its knees as it is without hosting things like this. or stupid things like this: BBC News - Government launches £4.2m urban tree-planting plan

am a scotsman,i think its all a fix,theres 2 much corruption n all sports now,reason?
money money money,it aint sport no more its capitalism,england has all the infrastuction,but russia does as well,still think its fixed

Scottley, I agree with you with the football thingy, but I like the tree planting scheme, £4.2m isn't that much compared how much gets wasted on other things... this worked really well in Berlin, swallowing up pollution, making people happier and calmer... anyhow, why shouldn't Russia get it? It said on the radio that they put a really good final presentation forward, that it had never before been held in an Eastern block country etc etc, so maybe we should be gracious losers...

England will never win this sort of event.. look at the eurovision.. started here but always political voting for each other, this Fifa is the same. all political voting for each other and totally wrong.. IMO..

One word FIX

 

[Colour Republic]

FIX

only just watched the Panorama, aside for the payments made I was more shocked at the condidtions being agreed

Visas and border control relaxed,
Tax havens

WHAT!!??? Here is a self styled body writing their own laws, and countries are bowing to them

 

[suave]

the whole world is a fix

 

[user123]

the whole world is a fix

Too right it is, agree absolutely. This will be good news at least for the Russian folk, they have had it tough for a long time....

Im sure the backhander from a certain london football club owner helped grease a few palms

Russia's arguably one of the most corrupt countries in the world and only really bordering over the line of being a democratic country. Given the FACT that the bidding is all so corrupt, are you really surprised Russia won the bid? :lol:

I hoped we got it, as it's a buzz around the time and it's nice to win a few games in your home country. But I wasn't really expecting it.

I'm sure Russia will do a fine job of it though as there will be millions of quid laundered in the process so they'll have a massive private investment and will want to do everything to spend cash on things that will make money over time and give the country better services to their own even after the world cup.

£15 million we spent on getting 2 votes for England!:mad2:
And 1 of those was our own vote - unless we voted for someone else.
Yesterday we were told (the two Daves and Willy) that we had a good chance:lol:

We send our lads around the World to help the United Nations, in the name of Democracy and we end up with 1 vote:yikes:
We have the greatest League in the World, attracting arguably the best footballers in the World, getting an indecent amout of our money (revenue through gates and Sky) and we get 1 vote:lol:

1 vote :lol: - still it saves me wasting any more money in 2018 from my pension, and as my Dad said - 'am I bothered I wont be here'.

I'm Irish and think you lot were robbed again, disgrace and it should have been in England.
Fix,fix,fix and yes Russia is corrupt for sure but it's like a lot of countries now.
