FOOTBALL bosses have unveiled the 12 English cities that have absolutely no chance of hosting the World Cup in 2018. Leeds, Bristol and Sunderland are just some of the venues set for eventual disappointment when a far more attractive country is handed the tournament next year. FIFA head, Sepp Blatter, said: "The England bid is a very interesting one and should about 50 other countries be ravaged by some terrifying plague that makes your skin fall off and kills you wthin 90 seconds, then yes, you may well see a World Cup match in Milton Keynes." Several cities were turned down for England's bid, with Derby, Leicester and Hull left out after bid organisers decided they wanted to stand a slightly better chance than Somalia. Roy Hobbs, the deputy mayor of Hull, said: "I thought we'd developed into a modern, vibrant place for a major sporting event, but then I remembered all the people who live here. "You might get car-jacked senseless in South Africa but at least you're not going to bump into a Phil Brown or that chap from the Beautiful South who looks like he's got no teeth." An FA spokesman said: "We had some very attractive bids and the cities chosen represent the finest facilities in England. And Plymouth is in there because we want the rest of the word to think we're a nation of mentally ill pirates." To be fair I think the articles quite accurate! I know they want to spread out the cities........but Plymouth ffs I think the English FA have dropped a righ bollock there.
**** off I hope England get it. Euro 96 was quality and there are only 2 other places with better stadiums (Germany and USA) The gerries had the last one and the yanks couldnt give a ****. Plymouth though, **** sake.
