The 2018 World Cup has gone to Russia (not a surprise really, given the fact that we have 2012 to deal with first) - the official announcement was just after 3.30 I think, but at 3.20 it was on Twitter. Who needs big announcements or a news service? DD

Qatar has the one after.

    I don’t follow football but what I will say is it was obvious Russia would get it the warning signs were a) Putin not bothering to turn up for the announcement, b) the fact that Putin is Mafia and the judges are bent as seven bob notes, and c) Beckham enough said some will say but not I, why do we think the rest of the world is interested in this guy, here he is considered some kind of God but these days he spends all his time in the US where I’m sure the average yank thinks mistakenly he’s/they are royalty.
    OK so the chap has done well for himself but what has he done that’s outstanding in the last few years? absolutely squat, we here in the UK seem to be mesmerised by has been Celeb’s and footballers who can’t even pronounce words correctly, they say things like I fink and ya no wot I mean, and at v end ov vu day, most footballers seem to be drunk womanisers with fat wallets and small brains no wonder we lost we had a two dimensional wooden headed chav as a spokesman the Russians had a few million in cold green to, Hmmm oil the wheels so to speak.
