England's presentation covered basically everything.. Their was so many more people behind the england bid as well and they wanted it a lot more then Russia did.. Where was Putin? he never even turned up in Zurich..
There was nothing strong about their bid at all.. and people that say it was strong are lying to themselves because it was one of the worst i have ever seen... given it to Russia was the worst thing FIFA could have done really.. They don't really know the meaning of Multi culture and the black players are going to be abused all through the tournament unless things drastically change over there and not to mention their scummy fans... English fans set a great example compared to some of the scum you are likely to come across over there

This is the typical bias opinion that is really getting annoying. The fact is.. England were very cocky and pretty much thought they had it in the bag a year before the decision was even made. You seem to think you won everything months before it even starts just like the 2010 World Cup where one newspaper was even arrogant enough to post the headline EASY for your group.
Do you not remember that around the 60s-80s, ENGLAND was also one of the worst countries for hooliganism out there yet they still won bids for the 1966 World Cup and European Championships 1996 as you keep reminding everyone every opportunity you ever get. Who says Russia won't clean up their act in the next 8 years like England did in the 90s and 00s? You are all jumping to conclusions too quickly about stereotypical Russian events.
Yes England had a strong bid, but you felt like you were invincible and that is what cost you.
