Got to say that was a great presentation by England. The fund that matches FIFA's global development if they win is impressive. Linking it into the overseas love of English football was canny too, emphasising the world, not just England.

Impressive presentation, very emotional, lots of passion for the 'beautiful game' 

[Andy @ Allerton!]

I've disliked (was going to say hated but that's too strong) Beckham but he's done a great job last few days and if England get the nod he will have deserved the knighthood he will get.

Barf. Lap it up.

[PJG]

Despite England's good presentation (and it was very good-leaps and bounds above anyone else that i've seen), I still see Russia blowing everyone away (figuratively and/or literally).  Didn't Putin criticise the bent officials the other day anyway? .  But they are going to give their absolute all for this.

[Scottish-Don]

Awww, they get a picture frame and a shit certificate as a reward

How much has that cost Great Britain for the certificate then?

[gjr1]

Barf. Lap it up.

What does that mean?

[wardides]

SkySports News lapping this up. "Blatter was rubbing his hands at the thought of David Cameron coming to see him"..

Really?Was he really?

[Andy @ Allerton!]

What does that mean?

He deserves a Knighthood for being a gobshite?

[wardides]

Pot Kettle Black and all that. 

[Scottish-Don]

SkySports News lapping this up. "Blatter was rubbing his hands at the thought of Harry Redknapp coming to see him"..

Fixed for you

[alex.]

They should have used the Kop in full voice in one of the videos.

Surprised there wasn't even 1 sec of the Kop in action.

[Andy @ Allerton!]

Pot Kettle Black and all that. 

I'm fairly sure I'm not getting a Knighthood.

[gjr1]

He deserves a Knighthood for being a gobshite?

Yes. He's doing everything possible for England to host the World cup. He could of sat at anyone of his homes and done nothing.

[Andy @ Allerton!]

Yes. He's doing everything possible for England to host the World cup. He could of sat at anyone of his homes and done nothing.

I'm sure he's doing it out of the goodness of his own heart. I'm absolute convinced that he's not getting paid for his blertathon.

[wardides]

I'm sure he's doing it out of the goodness of his own heart. I'm absolute convinced that he's not getting paid for his blertathon.

So you dont think maybe he would like the world cup to be held in England.Im sure hes getting expenses to go but I doubt when asked he even thought of money. But sure hey.Its David Beckham.Lets all be cool and call him a gobshite.Thats what we do right?

[gjr1]

I'm sure he's doing it out of the goodness of his own heart. I'm absolute convinced that he's not getting paid for his blertathon.

Actually I think he's "doing it out of the goodness of his own heart".

You probably won't agree but that's life.

He's a Southerner. Of course he'd like the World Cup to be held in London. With all the money going down South. As Usual.

That's what all the people say. You're riding high in April, shot down in May.

[the good half]

Cameron: 'A home match at every game'. Thats a seller right there.

Just been to Spain, no-one seems to know that a bid is being made there.

[Andy @ Allerton!]

I don't understand what that means?

[wardides]

So im imagining that St.James Park,Stadium of light,Anfield,Old trafford,Villa Park,Elland Road Hillsborough are some of the stadiums mentioned?

[LiverLuke]

what time will the winner be announced?

[wardides]

what time will the winner be announced?

3pm I think.

[the good half]

I don't understand what that means?

I figure he was relating to the cultural diversity in the major cities?

re: Spain - they're pretty apathetic about this. England really pushing it. Deserve it too.

[SMD]

Sepp Blatter is like that old great uncle that you hate to see in public because he just chats shit and has no place in public life.

[Dixon_Cox]

Don't support England but really, really love the World Cup.

I went to South Africa in the summer and it was amazing.

The World Cup in England would be absolutely sensational for me.

Just think of the fun that could be had in Liverpool, with all the foreign fans coming in to see our new/refurbished stadium whilst laughing at the Woodison.

It would be BOSS!

[alex.]

Haha Blatter talking about Pole Vaulting

[Andy @ Allerton!]

So im imagining that St.James Park,Stadium of light,Anfield,Old trafford,Villa Park,Elland Road Hillsborough are some of the stadiums mentioned?

No. That is correct. But I think you'll find that the thing will be run by the FA. The Cities in question will fund the staging, policing, traffic management, crowd control and the like and the bulk of the money will go South. To London. To the FA.

[Fordy]

Yes they will be holding games at them stadiums but when it comes to the key games I would guess the southern stadiums will hold them games.

The FA might as well be call southern FA.

Dont know where you live but I cant make a England game on a Friday night, can you?

Yeah. Let's destroy the history, culture, wonder and background of a ground that's been there for over a hundred years to put up a concrete/plastic/metal monstrosity so we can put the fucking World Cup in it.

[Fordy]

Spot on.

[Tommy_W]

They should get that hot Russian spy out instead

[SMD]

Ahahahaha Russians love their dance tracks.

[alex.]

Great song choice from Russia

[wardides]

Thats the same in every bloody country. Not just the mean old Fa.

[Captain Wolf Biscuit]

Russia really is a weird country. They seem to be showing off how big it is with this video.

[SMD]

Oh man, this is fucking hilarious.

[alex.]

How cringe-worthily cheesy is this?!

[Tommy_W]

Well that wall didn't jump at all - fire the lot of them

[PJG]

Russian presenter speaking very well.  playing the little kid card to some extent i think (not really) and the weird euro pop card.  Looks similar to a certain kangaroo to me
