Russia to stage 2018 World Cup as England miss out

[Billgodyz]

Isn't Russia in Asia? Thought this world cup was going to be in europe. I wonder how many back handers FIFA took for this one.

Eastern Europe bro.

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

The capital is in the West which probably makes it count more as Europe, just a guess

While Russia spans two continents, historically and culturally it is part of Europe.

Fucking absolute bullshit. England had the best presentation, the best facilities and we're the Fatherland of Football. England is a football-mad country and it's a shame we didn't get it really. Everyone in England plays football, my Dad still goes to 5 a side with his mates on a Friday and he's 40, my Granddad watches all the Villa games and he's 72, it's just part of the culture in England lol.

 

Life goes on, I guess..

Just to note, England might of been ruled out due to the riots and shit at the football match Birmingham v Aston villa on the 1st Dec 2010, the day before the bid, Well done faggots your team's are shit and you MIGHT of ruined it for England.
