Panorama - 29/11/10 - FIFA Bungs

[Lazarus]

Well despite everything, I do hope we win. Not my favourite sport, Football, but we Brits are quite good at these sorts of events.

(I think my famous last words may have just sunk the Olympics)

Outcome being announced NOW ................................. All News Channels.

But rumour has it England were knocked out in the first round of voting.


Edit: It's Russia. There's a surprise.

It's no surprise that England lost. Will they now stage it in 2026?.....well it will be 60 years after they last hosted. LOL, just realised I'll be 86 if it happens!!

 

[Channel Hopper]

So, how much did Russia bung them ?

 

[hexah]

Looking on the bright side, our tax money is not going to be spent on this, not long after the Olympics. Which will hugely overspend. O-no

 

[Lazarus]

Ahem!

So, how much did Russia bung them ?

"Allegedly"


Great minds think alike ......................

 

[I.LuV.ManUTd!]

Cheated, 2 votes for easily the best bid? All this corruption talk is probably right...

How can you give a country with a poor human rights record and still a lack of freedom speech, where racism still prevails in the game itself, the World Cup? Shocking.

I wouldn't mind losing it fair and square, but how can the best bid only get 2 votes? One of which would have been the England rep himself!

We hope

 

[Analoguesat]

So basically in fact we only got 1 vote??
