As usual an excellent topical sketch from our friends at Studs Up in relation to the will they/won't they issue of the England 2018 World Cup Bid. In all seriousness though, why has it taken so long for the country to successfully lobby FIFA to host the showpiece tournament of world football? By the time 2018 rolls around it would have been over 50 years since 66′!

So FIFA vice-president Jack Warner has come out and had a bit of a pop at our attempt to hold the World Cup. He said that not only was the bid lightweight, but he was really impressed by Australia, who gave him a goody bag with Australia 2018 tat in it. Apparently, this could swing the bid. I quote Warner (Via The Guardian):

I came here and was shocked that I got a bag for Australia at the entrance.
