Who else is glad that england dont get to host the world cup 2018 and 2022

its just the shear arrogance of the english people.

I am. I tend to not support england in these sort of campaigns (regardless of how much of that "we're all part of britain so we should support them" BS), but the reaction to the result has convinced me that i was right to not support them in the first place.

its just the shear arrogance of the english people.

take this article for example:

whats with the guy whos going on about "being promised votes that england didnt recieve"? im sure whoever chose to vote against england, had their reasons.

I totally agree with the guy (he worked for fifa) who said a few years ago that FIFA hates england, just due to how ignorant and arrogant the english are. he got fired for his comments i think; either way he is totally right.

england will never gain the support it thinks it has, until it loses the sense of self-righteousness. take, for example, all the people giving sepp blatter abuse. **** happens, get over it.

england acts almost like they had won it by default, with the reaction they are showing.

well i will happily support Scotland's bid for the World Cup (using money scrounged off London no doubt)

oh wait, no i won't

It can't be easy being Scottish. Is it hard living in our shadow?

I don't think that we're being arrogant because we're dissapointed that we didn't get the chance to host the World Cup. I'd have loved it to be here because who wouldn't like to have the World Cup on their doorstep? People are passionate about football in this country, hence why there is always the analysis of 'what went wrong' when things don't go our way, but i don't think that's arrogance it's just dissapointment. If members of Fifa (as was reported in the press) were saying that they enjoyed England's presentation/thought that England had a good chance of winning, i don't see why it's arrogant that we thought we were in with a good chance?

I am so glad this country needs to get good players before it ever hosts the world cup...

Ecstatic we didn't get it.

One of the main points of awarding the world cup is to improve the reputation and prominence of football in that country. In England football couldn't be bigger so what's the point?

Also we can't afford it. Shouldn't be having the olympics either but hey...
