Russia to stage 2018 World Cup as England miss out

[Ryan5]

England missed out on the right to host the 2018 World Cup after football's governing body Fifa picked Russia to stage the event for the first time.

Russia saw off rival bids from England, Spain-Portugal and Netherlands-Belgium to win a secret ballot of Fifa's 22 executive members in Zurich.

Fuck sake lol, really hoped England would win it.

Qatar will make the World Cup interesting and I'm sure some good shows will be put on to build up a lively atmosphere.

 

Russia for 2018 though... <_< . England prepped 18 months for today and we still lost the bid.

The western portion of Russia is in Europe, as far as the Ural mountains; the remainder is in Asia.
