What do we all think of this?

Apparently, England "won't try again" for the World Cup bid:



"English football's relations with Fifa were in meltdown yesterday after the acting chairman of the Football Association declared that the world governing body was untrustworthy and the FA prepared to withdraw Fabio Capello's team from their proposed friendly against Thailand in June.



The shockwaves of the failed bid for the 2018 World Cup finals – after the humiliation of elimination in the first round of voting on Thursday with just two votes – were still being felt as English football came to terms with the decision.



The FA's acting chairman, Roger Burden, withdrew his candidacy to take the post on a permanent basis with an uncompromising open letter in which he said he was unprepared to deal with Fifa – as FA chairman he would be the national governing body's main point of contact with Fifa."

The whole situation is ridiculous.



England should have the world cup hands down 100% no competition, they were the obvious choice, there were no cons with coming to england.



The stadiums are all built (with the exception of new White Hart Lane, and those that would need stand expansion)



England already has enough hotels, training grounds and ways of transport.



And they said that coming to England would be the most profitable world cup there has ever been.





Where as Russia have to build absolutely everything, they have a few alright stadiums like Spartak and Rubin, but they have to build a load more. THEY HAVE TO BUILD A TRANSPORT SYSTEM FOR THE WHOLE COUNTRY



Its never gunna get done in 7 and a half years, Itll be like the commonwealth games in india all over again.





But it is typically english to be like i'm taking my ball and going home, were very good as a country at being sore losers
Why should we try again



We humiliated ourselves by kissing up to those corrupt to55ers for the past two years



Apparently we're only good enough as a "back up plan" if the original host countries feck up their bids somehow



Watch, 2018 and 2022 World Cups are going to have MASSIVE problems with the racism in Russia and I bet no one will bother going to the Qatar one, so massive revunue lost thereWhat do we all think of this?
I think this is a bit immature by the FA. It's like their holding their breath, or giving FIFA the silent treatment. They don't accept that they lost (and to be fair, I wouldn't either if I just got ripped off by some corrupt greedy moneygrabbers). The whole situation in itself is just plain idiotic.
i don't get it? what was the reason for such bad bid, and why is there lots of controversy around it, im not really familiar with how the world cup bidding works.What do we all think of this?
They should until their ready to present a serious bid, not that fiasco they just put on.
I don't think they should. I can understand where they're coming from.
The more we moan and groan about the decision, the more people will say it's sour grapes on our behalf. We have to accept this slap in the face and move on. For the future, I agree with Ken Bates, Leeds Chairman, we should withdraw from FIFA and set up an alternative governing body, like they have in Boxing and Darts. With us will come most of Europes teams, and the new body would encourage teams from around the world to join us. Let's face it, FIFA is the most corrupt establishment in Sport, and the sooner Blatter and his cronies are brought to book, the better World football will be.
