Wanker

Yet again Sebb Blatter proves how anti-England he/FIFA is by changing the long held system of rotation.

For as long as the competition has existed the rule has been that if Europe hosts a World Cup they cannot host it again until at least one tournament has been held elsewhere. However it would seem that when the path is clear for England to host the World Cup the 'rules' are changed.

South Africa are hosting it in 2010 and a South American country will host it in 2014 so a European side should be permitted to hosting it by 2018. However Twatter wants it held in either North America or Asia. It's bad enough that Europe is barred for two world cups in a row but three would be ridiculous.

The reason Europe holds so many World Cups is because Football is bigger in Europe. Most of the revenue generated by the World Cup comes from Europe so to expect us to go without hosting one for at least 16 years is taking the piss. That's a whole generation of football players that will never get to play a World Cup in their own continent. Whatsmore when you consider the volume of fans that European nations bring to local tournaments, it will mean that the carnival atmosphere generated last summer will be consigned to the archives.

England has the biggest football league in the world FACT. England has a higher concentration of 30,000+ capacity stadiums than anywhere else in the world FACT. Every other major European nation has held the World Cup in the last 24 years FACT. England invented the fucking sport in the first place FACT.

Blatter is as crooked as they come but as long as he keeps pooring money towards his associates (and pissing off England) he can do what he likes it would seem.
