England had the best bid for 2018 and it's been a while since they hosted one.
By the way, it's no surprise that 2 new nations are hosting the WC. Blatter said he wanted to give the WC to new areas and he is going for re-election soon.
Surely if they wanted England to finish last 'for laughs' then the vote was corrupt/fixed?
Exactly, there's just no logical reason to explain how it can't have been a fix. I mean 2 votes, that's fucking ridiculous. And one of them will be from whoever the English/British rep for FIFA is surely.
