A shame a different FA didn't push for the postponment of the election, rather than England seeming like it was sour grapes. Instead we got the football powerhouses of Haiti, Congo, Benin, Cyprus and Fiji giving stinging attacks followed by another from vice president Julio Grondona the man who said:
‘I do not believe a Jew can ever be a referee at that level (Argentine Premier League) because it’s hard work and, you know, Jews don’t like hard work.’
I am glad to see the German FA asking a few questions though
(btw I actually think Russia would make a good host too, particularly liked their free trains for fans idea)

Why is Sepp Blatter up for re-election? Surely he should be resigning after all of the corruption allegations?
(And then again... if he went, who would follow him? Who'd be daft enough to sacrifice his reputation and his career to that Augean stable?)
Then, keep voting until England are (rightly) awarded the World Cup.
Yah. Right. England.
No, I don't think so. Let's first see whether they're up to the 'Limpics, shan't we? And then let China and Oz organise the World Cup.
