By the time England next host the World Cup, it will more than likely be a 70+ year gap since the last time we hosted it.
Considering there are countries that have never hosted it, do you think it's fair, or do you feel we've been either victimised/guilty of not paying the gratuity?
I'm not sure where i fall on this one. I do believe in corruption at the highest level at FIFA, but that does not mean Russia and Quatar won't put on a great World Cup, cos i'm sure they will.
I do believe we're very well equipped to put on an excellent World Cup, but I also think "let's spread the wealth".
I do hope we host another World Cup and preferably whilst I'm still vertical.
Shame we could not submit a joint bid with Wales or Scotland? Having either the use of the Millenium, or Hampden, Ibrox (should it still exist) and Celtic Park. But i don't know if that would boost our chances either.

All sporting events should have a spiritual home & be held in that home every time. All this chasing around the world building stadia that become derelict after every event is obscene. The home country could build a lasting stadium & infrastructure that would do the competition proud. And as an added bonus there would be no need for those boring extravagant opening & closing ceremonies to promote the hosting country.
The Olympics should be in Greece
The Super bowl should be un USA
The Grand Prix finale should be in France
Wimbledon should be in Wimbledon
The transatlantic boat race should be in the Atlantic
And the biggest of them all, the world cup, should be in England

Free press or a world cup?
Yes, really hard decision.
