FIFA should repay the money we spent on the bid - £15 million or so. Same goes for the other bidding countries that have held the competition previously. Now the delegates tell us that they intended to award the World Cup to countries where it had never been held before in the interest of promoting football in these parts of the world. Wouldn't it have been nice of FIFA to tell us that before we submitted our bid??? What an absolute waste of time, effort and money.
