The self loathing in this country really is something to behold at times.
As others have pointed out, we hold a lot of large events and the reason we haven't hosted a football tournament in years is nothing to do with our fans and everything to do with money and corruption in football.
Brazil - Run by a madman who is happily selling the amazon, didn't give a single **** about COVID and is corrupt and bent as you like. Massive crime issues and huge poverty issues.
Russia - I don't even know where to start with Russia but lets start with the fact they were essentially banned from the recent Olympics due to running a state sponsored doping program.
Qatar - Lovely bunch, nothing bad to say about them. No wait, borderline using slave labour to build their stadiums, multiple human rights violations, being gay is still illegal.
But no, a few yobs in this country have put FIFA off hosting it here in favour of these more respectable regimes.
