Well I for one am disappointed, and the main reason is that although the England bid was described as the best presentation technically by a lot of commentators (both English and foreign), how did it only manage to attract two votes out of 22 and one of those votes was by the UK executive committee representative,
I shall not comment further at this stage but wait for all the fall-out and the inquest when no doubt amongst other things, we shall find out exactly who the 22 are and how they voted. The whole FIFA organisation needs an over-haul and certainly needs to show more transparency to say the least.
However, congratulations to Russia on their success, I'm sure they will do a good job and especially with the Chelsea benefactor in their camp.
