Would like to see Australia get it, however they showed highlights of the bid videos used to wow those involved in deciding the bidding. I have to say America's was more inspirational, didn't see much of Qatar's.... but Australia's was more a look at some of our more worldly personalities (sporting, entertainment etc) and a cgi kangaroo that makes Kangaroo Jack (shoddy early 00's movie) look like an oscar winning master piece.

The FIFA Executive Committee has chosen Russia to host the 2018 FIFA World Cup™, while the 2022 FIFA World Cup™ was awarded to Qatar. FIFA President Joseph S. Blatter announced the result of the FIFA Executive Committee's secret vote on Thursday, 2 December 2010 in Zurich’s Messe.

In delighting the victorious nations, the FIFA President also made a point of praising those who missed out. He said: “I congratulate you and your people and I wish you well. For Russia, I am sure that organising the World Cup in that region will do a lot of good for that part of the world. But I have to give big compliments to all the bidders for the big job they have done and the messages they have delivered. All have delivered the message that football is more than just a game. But football is not only about winning; it is also a school of life where you must learn to lose, and that is not easy.”

England, Netherlands and Belgium, Spain and Portugal, and Russia all submitted bids for the right to stage the 2018 finals. Both England and Spain are previous FIFA World Cup hosts, with the 1966 tournament on English soil ending in the Three Lions' only world crown to date. The Iberians staged the 1982 edition of world football’s showpiece event, when the Trophy was won by Italy.

Igor Shuvalov, Russia's deputy prime minister, vowed that his country would justify the faith placed in them by the Executive Committee. He said: “You have entrusted us with the FIFA World Cup for 2018 and I can promise that you will never regret it. Let us make history together.”

Five candidates were bidding to stage the 2022 edition of the world’s greatest sporting event. As well as eventual winners Qatar, Australia, Korea Republic, Japan and USA also submitted bids for the highly-sought after hosting rights. USA, Japan and Korea had all previously staged the FIFA World Cup finals, with Japan and Korea becoming the tournament’s first joint-hosts back in 2002. The 1994 finals took place in the US.

The final presentations and the announcement of the host nations for the 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cups was one of the biggest media events ever seen in Switzerland. Some 70 TV stations reported live from the official announcement at Zurich Exhibition Centre, where around 1,000 reporters from all over the world also covered the event.

I'd love England for 2018 (or maybe Spain) - so they can win the bloody cup again!
and
Australia for 2022 (or maybe Qatar) - so a little Kangaroo can get into and England match and kick Rio Ferninand in the nuts!

You think Rio will still be playing at the age of 44, and at International level at that :1orglaugh
