I'm just under the impression nowadays that the more corrupt the decision is, the better. Wouldn't be surprised if there was money behind the USA World Cup either, which is why they've got Mexico and Canada on board so it doesn't look as suspicious.
Russia, Qatar and USA - filthy rich, corrupt countries hosting the next 3 WC's? Wonder if North Korea get the vote for 2030?

As if England were whiter than white in the process ffs
You hired a fecking spy to give you dirt on Russia, that's how 'merit focused' you were
England had a go at the corruption game and got handed your backsides by someone more corrupt than you were willing to be. Suck it up.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm not saying England were/are whiter than white. Our institutions and rule of law made it impossible to do corruption on a truly impressive scale but the schmoozing up to Warner etc. was unethical, and the willingness to attack our free press for doing its job in talking about FIFA corruption was sickening. I'm no nationalist. I was just disappointed on a personal level as mentioned in the OP. But the fact of the deep flaws in the English FA is no reason to keep silent about the extreme corruption endemic in FIFA and Russia.

The thing with England not getting it is that it essentially goes, UEFA get it one year then another confederation gets it the next time This is how it has worked (so every other WC Europeans will have a relatively short distance to travel for the world cup, hardly unfair to England or any other European nation that isn't hosting it). Despite all of those confederations competing there are relatively fewer non-UEFA nations with the stadia, money and infrastructure to host the WC, this is why Mexico and USA have a seemly dis proportionate numbers of world cups.
Lastly FIFA was/is one of the most corrupt organisations on the planet. It has been known for a very long time. I have no sympathy for anyone who takes part in a process widely known for being corrupt to the core and then feeling hard done by when their bid does not win.
