I don't see why, you can mention it without crowing about it.

Ji Song Park and Andrei Arshavin being used to promote their country's bids.
Hmm, where do they play. ENGLAND.
Come on FIFA, the choice is obvious.

Russia has the pro of being a first time host and an emerging market but the sheer size of the country, the time zones to be crossed and the lack of infrastructure right now may count against it. The fact that Putin isn't turning up suggests that they know the numbers don't add up for them. I think it's between us and Spain/Portugal. The head says Spain/Portugal just because of the hornets' nest we've stirred up in the media.
Mind you, my head said France for 2012 too...

Show me any front bench MP who can't speak well publicly! Politics is more about looks than anything else nowadays. So Americanised. Look at that f***ing stupid TV debate. People who LISTENED to it thought Brown nailed it and Cameron came of worse. Those who WATCHED it thought the opposite.
Anyway back to football.
When's the announcment made?

Russias effort is cheesey

the russian video has Andrey Arshavin in it, so it maybe a deal clincher
They've got all stroppy in the past about it though I believe and we've given ourselves the crown of 'We deserve to be the best because we came up with the bleeding thing.'
In theory though I totally agree with you, but whatever keeps the crooks happy.
Mendoza that is a superb video. Shivers.
I know exactly what you mean. I was pretty indifferent, even slightly opposed, but I really want it now. Fickle me? Easily swayed? Naah.

Situations like this require us to move away from party politics. This isn't right v left it's Us against the world.
Cameron has done a great job on this and he could have sat by and not committed himself but he didn't. He took the decision to put his neck out and stand up for this bid. He's taken a risk just as Blair did in 2005.
Nobody should begrudge either man's efforts for the relative campaigns.

The fact of the matter is, Cameron is Prime Minister, whether you agree with his politics or not, so he done the right thing and went out of his way to support the bid.

What we don't know of course, assuming it is level playing field, is what the priorities are for the FIFA officials. If they want to expand the game into areas and build new infrastructure, then Russia could fit the bill. If they want a guaranteed devlivery, then us or Spain/Portugal have most of it already. If they want people to travel by bicycle and smoke Jamaican woodbines, then give it to the Dutch.

i think we have to rememeber they're not presenting to us, but to a bunch of old codgers who will lap this stuff up, especially this blonde.
