hi

I know that a lot has been written about the the manner in which the FIFA World Cup draw was awarded.

Of course I wanted England to rubit BUT I would have been very sceptical about the procedures if the England " Heavy gang" had managed to persuade the delegates to change their mainds at that late stage.

Surely FIFA had made up their minds as to the best bid in the previous 2 1/2 years that they had been deciding upon the course of action.

Surely if a last minute plea by any Nation had been successful their would have been something wrong in the selection process.

England's overtures should have been made 12 months earlier.

Cheers
