[Scotty Mac]

good to see us taking fifas lead by lying to a royal family about our intentions

 

[Everest]

Is there snow?

 

[Arthur]

Bugger!

Got to think about my summer holiday now!

 

[Hiney]

Shame

I was looking forward to The Sun reporting "I had no idea he/she had a cock" stories from Wayne and Rio's night out in Bangkok

Was this a game promised in return for a vote we didn't get ?? Therefore we have pulled the plug ?? If so well done to the FA for doing it

Yes it was.

Good work by The FA

i imagine it might have had something to do with it - although it was officially being billed as some royal celebration

TheFA.com - England to play Thailand

 

[Barrel of Fun]

What a ridiculous system. Palm greasing. Offer of friendlies. Cartier watches.

What legacy has been left behind in South Africa in the long run? Plenty of contracts went to companies outside of Africa and I would imagine that people are being moved back into their slums.

Fick FUFA.

 

[Wozza]

Shame we played Brazil... in Qatar.

 

[beorhthelm]

quite a few friendlies have been arranged for the benefit of gaining FIFA votes (Vs Brazil in Qatar is the most obvious). glad the FA have recognised its not worth the hassle anymore.

 

[Thimble Keegan]

That is an arse as I was looking forward to a week in Thailand...Oh well, can concentrate my funds on the remaining away qualifiers!

Albion & England forever.

The fact England were prepared to play a match for a vote proves what a farce the bidding system is.The fact we were in some way playing"the game" makes us part of the problem as well.

I think we should set up a new FIFA. I am sure a number of countries would join now.

We could join this lot:-

VIVA World Cup Official Website

Whether we'd win, is another matter. We'd be up against the might of:-

Sápmi
Padania
Provence
Iraqi Kurdistan
Arameans Suryoye
Maasai
West Papua
Gozo
Zanzibar
Tibet
Greenland
Rijeka

 

[The Birdman]

Play Australia, Japan and Korea far east tour and invade France

We'd make the quarter finals! That's a given!

 

[Brovion]

Actually what we SHOULD do is keep saying "Yes yes of course we're going to play" - and then just not turn up on the day.

According to The Mirror The FA will no longer be funding or supplying coaching clinics in the countries that lied about giving England their vote too.

It won't matter because they'll already have replacement funding from the Russian FA

I wonder if its KGB or Spetsnaz provided training?
