We can't even get into the Euros with about 40% of teams qualifying so maybe 40 teams for the WC isn't enough when there's about 203 FIFA nations.

Mee Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 New guy was assistant to Platini who was banned and lived/lives next to Blatter. Clearly this is the man to clear out all issues. FFS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But of course it matters not how good your bid is or whether or not you'd actually put on a good and well organised tournament. These are but minor considerations. The fact that England haven't hosted a World Cup since 1966 is a disgrace frankly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ally Bongo Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Henry Winter made a good point on Sunday Supplement this morning when he said the FA should forget about bidding for World Cups and make their priority developing players that could give England a chance of progressing into the latter stages of a tournament. The wasted millions on tournament bids should be spent on grassroots Hard to disagree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
