I looked at the back page of the Mail today and read the excruciating headline...BRING IT HOME Let s clinch the right to stage 2018...then build a team fit to WIN the World Cup like these heroes did in 1996! How dare they use the team of 1996 and the likes of Wayne Rooney in the same sentence!
Indeed, Gareth Southgate and Paul Ince must be spinning in their graves right about now :) :)

Still, quality rant.

FIFA should be run as a charity, not a profit making organisation - because they're more concerned with who'll give them the most revenue for themselves than putting on a great tournament. Some of the people making the decision, especially people like Jack Warner, should never be allowed any power within football.

Giving the Qatar national team passage into the World Cup is a farce - they're 113th in the world (one below the Central African Republic). It's going to be a real spectacle watching them take on Brazil. That's before you get to the logic behind hosting a sports tournament in the middle of a desert in 50 degree heat.

They're building 10 new stadiums - 8 of which will be basically torn down straight away after the tournament. But when money's no object you always have a chance with FIFA. Still, homosexuality is illegal and there's no alcohol - so the fans will have a great time.

England would have held a great tournament that fans would have enjoyed, but at least now taxpayers won't have to pay for the stadiums, transport and hotels - to give FIFA a tax-free profit.

Now that it's all over, surely our thoughts must turn to revenge. I suggest Torquay United announces that it will refuse to take part in the Champions or Europa leagues.

I second that motion, we'll show 'em!

On the subject of homosexuality how will goals be celebrated without the obligatory jumping on top of each other and hugging? Surely such displays will be frowned upon as bordering on man love.
Ridiculous.

If FIFA really wanted to change the world using football, they should have give Qatar the women's world cup.

How do we, the little people, get our game back from the crooks of the world ? :rofl:

I'll get myself up to the Model Village in St.Marychurch, crouch down, and listen to what the real little people have to say. :)
