So no World Cup hosting for England.

It’s rather depressing as everyone seems to say our bid was good, and our presentation was good too. David Beckham has certainly still got it you know – in all areas believe me! It’s all very easy to say that FIFA are corrupt – and you might not find me wasting any of my spit on Jack Warner, but we have to accept that England is not a popular a nation as we like to think.

We have to embrace different cultures more and how they work – that element of back scratching is not seen as unfair with the murky deals in smoky corridors – and sound less like we are entitled to something.
