Russia wins 2018 and Qatar wins 2022 World Cup Bids
 

To host, that is...

oh balls this BBC article, they've merged two dates...sorry.

2018: England, Russia, Spain/Portugal, Netherlands/Belgium
2022: Japan, S Korea, US, Qatar, Australia

England or Portugal/Spain I reckon

2018: Portugal/Spain
2022: Australia

England if not it will be portugal / spain..


Russia would be a bad decision as 2010 was a pretty poor world cup a lot say because of the heat now who wants the world cup in -15 degrees or worse lol.

I reckon

2018: Netherlands/Belgium - very clean, very pleasant places - and makes two countries happy.
2022: Australia - have they hosted one before? My memory says no...and it's high time they got to, they have the facilities.

st helens

Andrei Arshavin campaigning for Russia :nono:

You realise they are the biggest outsiders for 2018




Spain and Portugal apparently very confident..
Current european and world champions...
BEtter transport apparently
Sunny but not blistering weather conditions..
Bigger stadium meaning there will be more seats avaliable..



Arshavin from Arsenal is one of the Russian standers didnt know that.




Still hoping its England would be amazing.

Sorry but ... Georgie Thompson :lovedup:

England at 1/2 to win... hope so

Russia I think, or Spain/Portugal. I dont think it will be England

England officials looking glum apparently
