One corrupt organisation with have no problem giving this to another

 

But our bid surely generates the most cash? i.e. most appealing to the corrupt.

 

Problem is if Russia is greasing FIFA palms left, right and centre

Gone to Russia. Bastards! oh well.

Aye, all rumours point to Russia

 

on a footballing basis I wouldn't resent that

 

they're on the up domestically and they have never held a WC

 

but have no doubt they'll have got it on some bent as fuck deals backed by their mafia led government, that'd piss me off

Where was it announced?

 

Linkage anyone?
