2018 World Cup

[Manx Blue]

I wonder whether people will question giving it to Russia after this afternoons events?

My thoughts are will the dead and injured, and I just hope the greed of those in the upper eschelons of our game now realise what they might have done. Only a day after FIFA & the Russians signed the declaration of appointment.

On that basis we shouldn't of got the world cup because of the 2005 London bombings. Terroists can strike anywhere.

And the bombings the day after we got olympics...?

Yeah i think yesterday's events have little relevance in where the WC is going to be held; as it was said, terrorists can strike anywhere; it's the whole Russia organisation that doesn't sound good enough to be hosting a World Cup, while other countries were way better candidates.

But hey, maybe thidea was to give it to them so they will have to improve and build new facilities, etc.?
