How can FIFA justify giving the Russians the 2018 Cup - except for a substantial increase in their pension funds.
It is one of the most crime ridden countries in the world and restrictive. As for Qatar, well, that is an even more ridiculous decision - been there got the t-shirt. Nice place but it costs an arm and a leg.
However, I am glad that we didn't get it. Think what we would have had to spend, OK the return would have been good, but money would have to be spent in large amounts beforehand - which is probably why Spain/Portugal didn't get it - they are allegedly both in danger of fiscal calamity.
