    Let's hope so. It would be an utter farce. <cheers>

    Lets all hope FIFA decide to give it to England.

    Footballs coming home/spirit of '66 an all that.

    The people who award these tournaments need to look at the fax.

    It's no surprise that the best WC's have been played in traditional football countries. Qatar will be ****e because they don't have the fans, and the weather won't help.

    If they're still relying on that method of communication it's no wonder they make such bizarre decisions <ok>.

    Good point my chubby friend. A major sporting occasion often does wonders in uniting a divided nation. :)

    We have an Excelsior Stadium?

    Sounds a bit Arthurian, and therefore English, to me. <grr>

    I'm trying to start a meme where Dev ruins a subtle joke by explicitly stating the point of the joke. <grr>
