Odds of England hosting the WC have apparently been slashed.

England should really lobby very hard for it - might have a galvanising effect across the country and by god we need something to do that. But unfortunately it won't happen.

Everyone knew the whole thing was corrupt but it's taken all this time for the decision makers to be brought to book.
As is always the case, those with lots of money are just greedy for more.

Not sure I’d want us to host the WC with current players we have.

Can we stage the World Cup? Eh? You don't play football and it's 80c there when the tournament is on!
....wonder what the next line could have been?

Cannot see Europe supporting us to host the World Cup. I have a sneaky gut feeling we're not flavour of the month over there 🤔

That’s politics though that should not really apply to this.
But you only have to watch Eurovision to see how popular we are.
But that has been like that for donkeys years.

It's because each year our entry is gash. No other reason.

Wrong........he hasn’t been arrested, merely “helping with enquiriesâ€.
From the BBC
In a statement, Platini's lawyers reiterated he had not been arrested and has "expressed himself serenely and precisely, answering all the questions, including those on the conditions for the awarding of Euro 2016, and has provided useful explanations".

It's a very much tongue in cheek response to folk getting a little excited about the prospect/ non prospect of the U.K. Holding the World Cup instead of the footballing powerhouse of Qatar
