RUSSIA! Yay?

Friends forever.

So I think pretty much everyone including Russian president Dmitry Medvedev was in shock to hear that Russia will be hosts for the World Cup in 2018. England only gained two votes which is a bit of a surprise since we sent in three of our best men; David Cameron (actually not so much), David Beckham and Prince William. Probably the most random threesome but anyway its something England could be proud of. Even though I think Harry Potter should've been added to that list, but thats another issue to be solved another time.

And then if this news wasn't bad enough Qatar has been announced as another country that it will be hosting in 2022. Should be interesting to see how the elaborate Arabs do it but a country that doesn't even usually qualify hosting it doesn't sound too good. The only hope that England have left to host the World Cup now is 2030. And I'll be 38 then, woah.

It is a bit annoying that England is meant to be the football nation and yet we can't get more than two votes, and when the votes are announced we immediately think its a fix! Yes its a habbit that the whole country has come to, even with X factor if someone we didn't want goes home ITS A FIX, but when a person that we want goes out its the best show ever. Old habbits die hard I guess.

But yes back to this Russia thing, even if England didn't win I would think Spain or Portugal would win! They already have most of the stadiums prepared unlike the winners who have to build it all from scratch. Theres not much we can do now, atleast we have the Olympics. Even though I would much rather go down the road to watch a football match instead of a person doing some insane acrobatics, but never know I might grow to like it.

All I can say is World Cup 2014 is going to be the one to look forward to now, BRAZIL.
