Besides the fact that they burned our capital not even 200 years ago, stole our language but can’t spell it, and care about the Carling Cup, the English are now trying to take away our God-given right to host a World Cup. What I mean is, England is bidding for the 2018 World Cup which should be, according to the cyclical process of where FIFA chooses as World Cups host countries, somewhere in North America. Sepp Blatter has sort of thrown some water on that fire, but just the notion that England deserves a World Cup makes me mad. Back off, Brits. We saved your butts in World War II and this is the thanks we get?
How can you deserve a World Cup if you just had one like 500 miles away less than one year ago. ONE. That takes a single finger to count; a single anything, actually. Cause it’s the smallest whole number that is greater than zero. It’s already been 13 years since we hosted a World Cup in this half of the world. So shut your freaking pie holes. You had one in 1998 on the other side of a body of water that is 21 miles across! You have a train that runs under it! There’s no train from New York to London and even if there was, I wouldn’t take it because the World Cup is going to be over here! Hopefully. England doesn’t deserve it. Actually, neither do we and it should be put hosted by Canada. But that’s still close and I like that.
We’ll come up with a better logo in 2018, I swear!

Philistine…
I may seem all the same to you but 500 miles is another Country – Honest!
In EUROPE (That’s outside of England)
Oh and Just to keep you upto date its called..
FOOTBALL!
ENGLAND – WORLD CUP WINNERS 1966
March 10, 2007 at 11:56 am |
Hmm. England is in Europe. Honest! And 500 miles is not very far for a World Cup, even if it is in another country. I’d gladly travel ONLY 500 miles to get to a World Cup. And saying it’s in another country hardly makes a difference since I’m arguing about having it in a CONCACAF nation, not specifically the United States. Mexico, for instance, would be a perfectly acceptable place, in my eyes. Maybe all of Central America can make a bid and get it. That’d be fine with me (though their abilities to provide world class stadiums might be subpar). The point is that England and Europe (UEFA, really) just had a World Cup and if it’s a global game, let it be global, not oriented around Europe just because they have the most money with which to create the best domestic leagues.
Canada, I believe, should host the 2018 WC and that’s really that. They’re having a trial run of sorts this summer with the U-20 WC and if that goes smoothly, which I think it will, they should be chosen for 2018. Why? Because they’ve never had one.
And just to keep YOU up to date, it’s called soccer where I’m from. We have a football; you may argue all you want about whether or not we should have called it that (and no, we shouldn’t have) but the fact remains that in this country, where I write from and come from, it’s called soccer.
Thanks for you input about 1966. Now if only you could win another one…hmmm…of course, we’ve never won one, but we’re working on it!

Personally, the more variety of countries that host the World Cup the better in my eyes. There are still some great candidates in my eyes including Australia (although it will be Autumn\Winter time come July),
I cant believe it will be awarded to the US so soon after the 1994 attempt. Maybe they will keep doing it every few years until people pay attention to the globes biggest and best sport.
March 20, 2007 at 5:59 pm |
Again, I think it’s got to be given to Canada; I’d love to see it in Central America, but I just don’t think FIFA will ever believe they have the money to make it. Mexico has had it twice already in recent enough memory, but there’s certainly no reason that England deserves the WC over the US. Yeah, it’s only been 13 years, but again, Europe had one less than one year ago and while that’s not England and it is a trip, it’s a lot closer than, say, an American traveling to England.

Maybe Italy should bid for it! .. Nah i hope they get Euro 2012

“stole our language but can’t spell it”, are u actually stupid, where do u think you come from?
September 10, 2007 at 6:13 pm |
Americans are all a bunch of muggy little cunts
September 22, 2007 at 3:40 pm |
funny you should say that , because i thought they stemmed from the english, so if he’s a muggy little c#*t so are you, so stop hurling insults and contribute something useful
March 22, 2008 at 4:40 pm |
well i think u will find that england invented football and its called football not soccer and we nicked ur language it called english for a reason lol
May 27, 2008 at 7:58 pm |
Oh stfu you stupid yank, we deserve the wc who invented Football? We did and all that bullshit about burning your capital, guess what faggot if it wasn’t for England most white americans wouldn’t be here so go suck on our nuts and also your language? no it’s not we were speaking Englsih long before you did and then you go and ruin it with your annoying accents
August 2, 2008 at 12:13 pm |
You’re wrong mostly. You deserve all the insults so far, and more. English is our language, otherwise it wouldn’t be called ENGLISH. It would be called American. Your language is American English.
Yeah, we invented our football and we haven’t been proven the best at it for… what is it, 42 years? Ah well, hopefully we’ll get lucky some when in the next century.
And besides, most of America wasn’t English when it was founded. So does it really matter? Some of it was French, and I think we can all agree the French are gay.

So why should 500 miles to Canada be any more deserving to 500 miles in Europe. There is a reason for the cycle of WC finals around the continents biasing Europe or South America. thats where the decent countries play.
Oh and the governing body is FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association) not FISA. Hence not Soccer.
If you want to play your own world championship why not do it like Baseball.
Better also get to be a student of history. You might have finally decided to get your arses over into Europe in WW2 but it was only because of your own stinking self-interest. Think you might have had a capital city after the Nazi’s had nuked the shit out of Washington? At least we stuck around, took the bombings and gave you lazy bastards somewhere to land, so you could save your own arses. Oh and we paid you shit loads of cash, to save your president from glowing in the dark – so we owe you nothing.
It pretty amusing that nowadays you’re more than ready to stick your noses into ever other country in the name of ‘freedom’.

Whoever wrote this is a complete idiot! Straight away in the opening sentence you can see how narrow minded a person he/she is.
The language is called english for a reason, if it came from america it would be called american. How can you say that anyway? All Americans (apart from natives) are migrants from European countries mostly from England (which is why english is the language there). So you lot are all decendants from us and other European countries!
October 30, 2008 at 10:55 am |
Hmmmm. This piece was obviously written by a very educated person…… LOL.
2 big reason why England deserves the world cup. 1 Football is an English sport 2 we haven’t hosted the world cup since 1966.
I understand people like the idea of moving continents but seriously Europe has the best footballing infrastructure and footballing nations, this is the reason why it has hosted the most tournaments.
America had it in 94 when only the european expats new what the game was! And on that occasion you tried to make the goal bigger, add time outs and istead of 2 halfs wanted to make it 4 quarters. Hmmmmm.
I think the superbowl should be played in Russioa next year??
March 13, 2009 at 2:36 pm |
We do not deserve one however I think it’ high time we had one. The English stadiums are arguably the best in the world, have pretty much eradicated the hooligan problem and we haven’t had one for over 40 years.
To argue we had one in France in barmy. It’s another country! You’d have to get transport both of which would be in high demand hence the prices would rocket. America is a huge place and it would take endless numbers of flights to travel to all the games. In England you can drive in a matter of hours.
Plus noone would go to the USA a it’s miles from every country apart from Canada and Mexico.
On the point that you bailed us out of WW2; You did not “bail us out of WW2″. You entered the war because Japan bombed Pearl Harbour. The US government leased the Allies arms and we paid for it. We didn’t have our own arms due to the fact we’d ben fighting for 3 years already (with no help from USa, despite pleas). After WW2 the European economy was in tatter but the US economy was booming because we had to buy everything from USA. When it looked like Hitler was going to take over the world you though “oops” and waded in.
As the British economy was ravaged by war in 1946 the US government lent us 6 billion dollars (not interest free) and we finally made the last payment in 2004.
Does that sound like a “bail out” to you? We bought our way out. As usual the US governemt chasing the dollar.

I would only like a World Cup in England if there where games played in my Home town of Portsmouth
USA had there World Cup in 94. 2018 Would be to soon.
So I would Like to see CANADA host it. If not on its own, then a joint effort with USA
Cities that should host a game
Toronto
Montreal
NY
LA
Houston
Put they would need to expand there soccer stadiums if they don’t want to take up the lines and art work on NFL fields.
