The outrage is Russia getting it.

What im really pissed of about is now we are going to have 2 shit world cups in a row I dont see how Russia can make a world cup half as good as South africa (who did a real shit job no offense). If it was Spain/Portugal with England in second place then fair enough, but Russia seriously ?

Only good news is that Qatar got 2022, in my lifetime hopefully I can attend that world cup I think Qatar was the best option for 2022 and I have high expectations. Hopefully im not let down

Russia had a strong bid, lets not forget that. Before the announcement i thought we'd narrowly win over Russia, i'm still shocked at how England had received the lowest amount of votes, we had the strongest bid.

Maybe Roman Abramovich had something to do with Russia winning it so easily.

Like Russia is any less rich than Qatar.

Neither nation will throw a bad world cup.

Ah well. Even if you don't get tickets to the games it would of been easy enough to get cheap flights and hotels and be there for the atmosphere and sun

Not really. It wouldn't be exactly cheap, and it's not renowned for it's tourism

Regardless of whether the bid was good enough or not, the country as a whole should not be hosting a World Cup. It goes against everything that FIFA stands for in terms of stamping out violence, racism etc.

Money talks in football, and sadly, it's been proven again today.

South Africa did a great job at the World Cup hosting this year. It's just a shame that the Jabulani was a peice of shit and most of the football on display was very poor.

The people who made that should be shot. Just taking 30 seconds highlights out of Premier League games isnt a bid video and shows nothing about what is in England, what they have already to cope with a WC and what else will come its way if the WC bid is successful

It's pretty much the same as Dubai.....which is renowned for it's tourism.
