So come on.... throw your hat in the ring? Will we win it?

I've said for about a year that FIFA policy is to give it to countries that need bringing into the football family, have no stadiums, not hotels, high crime, so Russia will win in a canter :laughitupsmilie: :doh1:

I don't think we had a chance anyway, even before the Panorama thing. Everyone knows how Blatter, Platini and Co feel about England.

I think Belgium and the Neterlands will get it.

As for 2022, the US, Japan and South korea have alll recently hosted, so it has to be Australia or Qatar doesn't it? Qatar probably have more money than Oz, but I reckon either would be good. No australasian or middle eastern country has ever hosted before, so it would be a first whichever won.
