The olympics is over budget - they're just trying to hide it as best they can.
Its also a waste of money - for example what will they use all these new facilities for after the games are finished.
**** all - thats what.
Now then the world cup I believe they're even talking about using stadiums that don't fecking exist - thats good eh

I think Russia will get it but i so hope we do. I loved Euro 96 when I was 18! I'd be 41 when this World Cup comes round but it would be still just as amazing for the country.

We'll we will all see soon enough who gets it.
I cannot see how Russia will get it though?
Surely Portugal/Spain have better stadiums than the UK?
Certainly have a better climate - thats a given, and I would imagine the better climate would appeal to a lot of people

I still can't believe that there are people that don't want the World Cup in this country. Extraordinary!
If we don't get it, it was clearly right to fight for it. Well done to Messrs. Wales, Cameron and Beckham.

Spain doesn't have anywhere near the stadia we have and the climate probably is more of an issue for Spain as it would be Summer when the tournament is held which is not great for a predominantly winter sport.

We'll they are a financial risk - no doubt.
Getting to Russia won't be easy though
Will they speaka the english?
Will the infastructure cope?
I'm not saying I wouldn't want the world cup in the UK JTaylor
But ultimately whats it going to cost the taxpayer and what will we get out of it?

Fair enough, I think the consensus is that it'll be lucrative for the country. There's also the issue of national pride and international recognition that one can't really put a price on aswell as the much needed feel good factor.

Well it's a shame England didn't get it, not sure what sort of job Russia will do ... I guess we'll find out in 2018.
Anyway now to 2022 - please let it be Australia ... they know how to organise sports events properly.

Ok I can accept losing a bid but it is pretty laughable considering the whole infrastructure etc of the country.

I'm not convinced either the olympics or the football world cup would actually return a profit.
Edit - Russia? Now to me, the fact that Putin didn't even bother to travel suggests he knew it was already in the bag. Clearly a corrupt system and we are better off out IMO.

Pontificating
Have FIFA and FIA merged ?
That is the most illogical decision for the bidding of a major sporting event I can remember
Clearly money and politics talk
Qatar is more farcical than Russia
Irrespective of Panorama or the idiotic supporters at St Andrews last night we were never going to get it from the off.

Were we just unlucky or is this a case of corruption and people in fifa selling their votes?
My own personal thoughts is the latter, not impressed with the results at all.
