I'm obviously disappointed England didn't get it, though I can see some hope that Russia will pull off a good tournament.

Qatar is a real question mark though. I have no doubt that all of their money will create an excellent spectacle, and a part of me is glad that the middle east, the last area to yet host a world cup, will get one. On the other hand though, do the people in Qatar really have the passion for football to merit hosting a world cup? I would have far preferred Australia, or the USA (or even Japan, just for the possibility of the absolutely mental worldwide 3D display they proposed).

Shame, and you have to suspect corruption amongst FIFA, but there we go. We've still got Brazil 2014, which could be something special.

except that they are way behind in organising it already... but yes it should be good.

No doubt the organisation will be pretty shocking, but I'm hoping the atmosphere and spirit will more than make up for it (kind of the opposite of Qatar I guess).
