Yeah, what a coincidence that countries with vast oil resources and dodgy goverments are the next ones to host the world.

It's also a matter of market expansion, at least into the Persian Gulf. Has Russia ever hosted it?

It seems to me that it was mostly the countries that were least adverse to handing out bribes.

I don't doubt that that played a part in it, i'm just saying that they not only did that, but also have the "fairness" factor going for them, fairness in that the main competitors were all the kind of mainstay countries you'd expect to receive such an event, unless the FIFA decision process is supposed to be fundamentally different from the one used by the Olympics people...
