...no one likes us, we don't care we are England .....

...2 votes, and one of them our own.

We are seen as the rich and flash by people around the world

at least everyone knows that now it will never ever come here again

Yeah, that's the sort of attitude in this country that I know could develop from this.

We need to stop thinking that way.

It's not the end of the world you know, we can always try again.

The vote is supposed to be for the bid and not the country.

Now, earlier on when FIFA were inspecting our bids, we all thought or we were told that bid was very good.

Now either the bid was being hyped up at the time and there were actually serious weaknesses with our bid, or...

...Thankfully we've managed to secure next years World Spoon Playing Championships in Trimdon......phew!

Pisshheads abroad more like..

I loved the comment from John Barnes where he said it's glad it's went to russia and guitar as football needs to go around the world.

Where the fuck is england mars.

You've got to remember that John Barnes isn't English.

He only played for England cos it was more glamourous than playing for Jamaica and he qualified through some passport or commonwealth rule at the time.

Kent we can only try again in 2030 and to be honest I wouldnt bother by then FIFA will only want it to come here for money nothing else, tell them to bugger off I say.

Also a bid and not the country?? What bubble do you live in clearly not the real world as its all about the country and the people (with nice chequebooks) who are promoting it. Qatar dont make me laugh, nothing to do about football all to do about attracting new countries with the most wealthiest people in the world.

If you dont believe me take a look at F1, Bahrain, Abu Dabi, Singapore, etc...

I think the simple fact is - we aren't bent enough.

you speak for yourself, sailor

Oooh cheeky

I can confirm that no one is benter than aido.

If it was all about the country, Qatar wouldn't have won being in the Middle East because people would have thought that they would not be able to hold a World Cup safely.

If it was all about the country, Qatar wouldn't have won the vote because it's a very hot Islamic country in the main.

The Australian bid only received ONE vote for 2022 yesterday.

Are the Aussies disappointed? You bet they are.

Are they bitter about it? No.

Only this country could react in the way that it has done today.

Whats an acceptable temperature to host the World Cup in Pok ?

Is being Islamic (surely it's Muslim!) wrong like POK?

Of course not.

But ever since 9/11 etc happened, saying to people that your a Muslim has been made all the more tougher because some people automatically start to make a link between Islam and extremism.

That is CLEARLY wrong.

No too hot, not too cold.

It made me laugh when it started off quite sunny when the World Cup in South Africa began and then it chucked it down with rain during some of the games.

I was on the floor mate!

You're right sir. There is no link between any islamic followers and islamic extremist terror groups. The daily mail are to publish an expose on this next week where they prove that the EDL and Al Queda are all being run by the CIA to keep Americans scared, much like the IRA was a fabrication of Maggie Thatchers Government.

The main reason England didn't win the world cup is because we didn't supply enough teenage prostitutes and envelopes stuffed with Euros to win the support of the crooked wankers that were allowed to vote.

The stadium tour in Qatar must have been a cracking 10 minutes.

Ok then its not about the country or the wealth behind it then, its about the bid. Then answer me this how does a country with no footballing hertiage that has only about two stadiums in the whole country with a population of about 1million people get this?

You can argue that it will leave a football legacy in that country I say rubbish. I bet england are the reserve for this world cup if it all goes wrong like they were with south africa, reason beind we could host the thing tomorrow. Qatar hosting this is a joke, I know it, you know it and everyone else with and arsehole knows why its gone there.

Whats sort of legacy is it going to leave when the hoast nation doesnt score a goal and gets beat at best 4-0 by some crap team, remember they got beat of the power house of football Haiti this year.

Kent honestly you live in a dream world.

I think Kent has finally gone mad. Only someone with naievity of the terminally insane or a child, could possibly see the world cup going to Qatar as good.

I bet Israel are currently wondering just what FIFA mean by the term Football family. I can only assume that Israel wonr be allowed to enter the 2022 World cup.

And if by this time, more footballers are found to be gay then god help them as well.

And dont think for a minute that this festival of football could ever be a festival. More people will come home with less limbs than they did in the first world war.

it will be interesting to see what kind of refereeing decisions Israel get in their qualifiers, just to ensure they don't cause the problems of qualifying for that Qatar finals

the world cup will not leave a lasting legacy in quatar as as soon as the tournament finishes they are packing the stadiums up and sending them around the world.

What good that for Quatar?

I'm sorry, I don't agree. I didn't actually say directly Qatar hosting the World Cup would be good.

But the Middle East is part of the world you know.

It's an opportunity to for the Middle East to showcase its self, as will Russia in 2018.

... when you see Uncle Sepp, tell him I was asking after him.... on second thoughts, don't bother.
'Naive' and 'innocent abroad' keep creeping into my mind for some reason.

For the UK.

PoK going to a dating agency to try and finally get his legover...

Keep flyin that flag for team GB young kent!

I like the different sense of perspectives different people have - it helps to see where we all stand relative to each other and that is a source of comfort really
In other words I like eccentricity
