World Cup Vote Rigged?

It was announced on Talk Sport about 5pm, that England went out in the first round of voting, having only picked up 2 votes, one of which apears to be from their own English delegate of FIFA!

They went on to say that Sepp Blatter, has recently got the committee together, told them to think hard before they cast their votes and reminded them, of which country accused them of being corrupt!

Good old Sepp!!

I heard The Isle of Man got more votes

I don't think there are many people who don't think its rigged. If Holland/Belgium got it then I don't think anyone woukd even suggest it was rigged.

But a country that has a worse record for hooliganism and racism than England, not to mention its a well known fact the Mafia run the country and the corruption that takes place. Well, just doesn't add up does it??

phatfrog, there bid was better!

Personally, I can see many reasons why Russia should have got the vote, but the system stinks to high heaven, when all the competing countries, get encouraged to wine and dine and lavish gift after gift, upon the already rich beggars of FIFA and get them to spend millions of pounds, of what looks like tax payers money, in a gamble to try and host the World Cup!

England's bid, has apparently cost this country (The UK) £463,000,000, of which I am also a tax payer!

The fact that this was an England bid, will almost certainly have cost all of us tax payers a pretty penny and not just be confined to the English tax payers!

Aye, their cash bid. Still havnt gotten over them cheating us out of a place in a major finals tournement a few years back.

i forgave them at 3pm
when you say us, you mean wales right

Can't see whether it matters whether Wales qualify or not, surely it's about whether the competition for who gets to host the event is rigged or not?

Of course I'd love Wales to qualify for one tournament in my lifetime, but I can't see that FIFA should be encouraging competing countries, to stump up large amounts of tax payers money, to gamble on winning a chance of hosting a World Cup Tournament, especially when the President, has already rigged the voting, by putting pressure on the other committee members, to vote for somebody else!

£463 Million pounds of tax payers money (which includes Welsh tax payers), have reportedly gone on this rigged gamble!

Milly

Yes. I meant Wales

Sorry, can't agree.

England (and this not easy to say for a Welshman) had the most well-presented and practical bid of all....and for them to go out in the first round with only TWO votes (one of which was their own!!) showed an absolute mocking of any sense of fair play, openess and/or integrity.

The English supporters, certain newspapers and the BBC managed to feck it up for themselves after the disgraceful scenes at the Birmingham derby and the bribery allegations and documentaries that were aired only days before the vote....

David Beckham and his creditable team could have been there until Christmas 2018 and they still wouldn't have got the event.

I hope the Brum and Villa fans are proud of themselves!!!!

sven i was only trying to wind her up

Amen to the last two things you've said Frog!

At the end of the day do you vote (or do any kind of favour) for someone or something that has called you a tw*t?

The obvious answer is no, so England's bid was doomed from the moment the papers and panarama called FIFA corrupt. With that in mind it begs belief that the Pommes ever thought they had a chance and wasted £15m making themselves look daft.

On the bright side David Cameron has come out of this looking a right prick

Fair Play???

Scottish Welsh and Northern Irish taxpayers were paying for this bid. Did England
come up with a plan to at least use Hampden, Ibrox, Parkead, the Millstad, CCS??
Naaah... greedy greedy bastards. The other joint bids put them to shame.... Had
they initiated an 'All Britain' bid, FIFA would have looked more favourably on it!!

To top it all, Sky news said that ENGLANDS brave bid was scuppered by the BRITISH
media...

Its like a broken record with the fuckers... if its GOOD its ENGLISH... if it all
goes pear-shaped.... blame BRITAIN

ah well saves the embarassment of plymouth having a 40,000 seater stadium. merry christmas ridsdale
