The world cup bid results are just about to be announced. There has been some controversy on the subject in England at least due to TV programme Panorama investigating accusations of countries selling their votes. It seems to be a big deal for us, since e sent over our Prime Miniser and David Beckham to try and convince people to give the English the bid.
It would be a good source of tourism and glory (etc) but I'm not so bothered about it myself. I'm not so positive about us getting it either, but if Spain and Portugal get it, there may be other accusations of collusion.
So.. We're only minutes away from finding out who has one. If we lose here, we lose out for a generation, so the news reporter says.
Edit: Apparently England has been knocked out in the first round. Oh well!
Edit 2: And Russia has won! Yay! I secretly wanted them to win >_>
Edit 3: Oh bloody Hell, there is another one for 2022? Apparently Qatar has won that one.
