FIFA stinks - all these countries voting with back handers and promises for future favours in other votes like 2022 seems ridiculous.
Russia, Spain/Portugal and Netherlands/Belgium are the competition.
The best bids should win, and surely we have the best stadiums either in place or planned to be built, with backups in place already
looking at the table below the other 3 contendors should also be due a world cup but the best bids should win
If the USA wins the 2022 bid, they will have hosted the games twice in 28 years. If we lose out in 2018 we have hosted only once
