Blatter knocks England 2018 hopes Blatter wants to see Fifa's rotation policy continued Fifa president Sepp Blatter has raised serious doubts over England's hopes of staging the World Cup in 2018. If Fifa's executive committee decides in December to maintain its rotation policy, the tournament will be held in either North America or Asia. Blatter, in London to meet Chancellor Gordon Brown, said: "The executive must take a decision whether the rotation should include all federations. "If the Americas are considered as one, then rotation would go to Asia." Interview: Fifa president Sepp Blatter The USA has indicated its intention to bid to stage the finals for a second time, while China has thrown its hat into the ring along with Australia. 606 DEBATE: Your views on Blatter's comments Fifa's December executive committee meeting could decide to throw the competition out to all bidders. Blatter said: "It may be that the majority of the Fifa executive committee where you have eight European representatives out of 24, can find the 13 votes needed." The Fifa president said his personal inclination was for the rotation to continue to North America, with the USA, Mexico, and Canada all capable of hosting the tournament.
"Blatter knocks England 2018 hopes" I'll give this Blatter character a good KNOCK.....on the head with a shovel.
Because the English FA categorically campaigned against his re-election as President, going so far as to back other candidates. It's all politics Kieran - even at the top of football!
At first I was very excited about going to England in 2018 for the World Cup. Then I did a little arithmetic and realized I'd be 52 at that time and considering I can barely get through 2 pints of ale without getting a hangover anymore, my enthusiasm shrank and shrank until it became a little shrivelled up raisin... So anyway, the US bid came up and I thought it would be a whole lot easier. And maybe I could take the Silver Taxi there. Look, just take my advice and don't get old. You can do it if you try.
