We got to see these guys on a 15-20 inch TV in glorious black and white with grainy archive clips of players like Pushkas, Wright, Matthews and Finney in the build up.

Whistleblower claims Jack Warner took Australia's £270,000 for his World Cup vote | Mail Online

Yeah, yeah..its the Mail..doesn't take away from the fact that money is buying the game....

Frankly, I am less than agog about the next World Cup or any future World cups ....not because England aint got a hope in hell of winning it, but because I can watch the skills of the best players every week on various media sources. I'm not going to see anything I aint already seen.

It's a meaningless competition and the only beneficiaries are the spongers
Aye but yeh can bet it wouldn't be meaningless at all,if we won it?
