Oi, Blatter, No!

Posted Mar 1st 2007, 1:40pm by Tim Southwell

England's World Cup bid has been dealt a hammer blow by Sepp Blatter.

In a rare forray into the public domain, FIFA President Blatter laid into the English bid: "It is not definite the finals will come back to Europe in 2018, no matter what Bobby bloody Charlton keeps saying," stormed Blatter. "If I had my way we'd play the finals somewhere nice, like Barbados or something. "I can understand the eagerness of the English FA, supported by politicians, actors and pop stars to stage the finals. But there are other countries who are also keen to host the World Cup. Some of these countries have truly superb restuarants and architecture. I mean, have you ever been to Manchester I mean, ... Jeez."

isporty wants to know which towns or cities you think should get a custom made stadium built especially for the World Cup 2018 if and when we get it. What about the West Country? Massive un-tapped catchment area. Or Swindon? Or Telford?
