Oh yeah, England 2018 FTW!
This isn't true at all. Apparantly the stadiums will be air conditioned to temperatures in the 20's. The country will not be dry for the WC either. I heard yesterday Qatar were likely going to get it which disappointed me as I thought Australia had the best case. Now it seems USA might get it.
England deserve the 2018, hasn't been there since 66, by far the best infrastructure, stadiums, everything basically. No reason other than politics for it not to go to England especially after they just lost out on 2006.
All the criticism of the BBC is ridiculous. Why should the fact an English program exposes the absurd amount of corruption in FIFA yet again harm the bid and even if it did why should they not show it? They are journalists and imo completely obligated to show the programme. Not showing it incase it upsets the powers that be is what would happen in dictatorships.
