Don't think there's a thread on this yet..

Who do you think will be the hosts for the World Cup in 2018 and 2022? Being announced tomorrow at 3pm GMT

[Deak]

Well for the 2018, Russia are favourites with England 2nd (according to bookies) so I'm hoping that by 3pm England will be announced as hosts

As for the 2022 - I'm not bothered as England have pulled out for them

2022 I think Australia or Qatar will get it.

2018 I want England to get it, but I think Russia will.

2018 England World Cup would be utterly immense.

Don't forget Rugby World cup in 2013 (I think), we're bidding for Common Wealth games...or Scotland at some point in that decade...it's gonna be a decade of sports.

We should get it because there is no other league better then ours in the world and our facilities are ready to go now so there wouldn't need anything building like they did in South Africa. We also have massive footballing history unlike Russia which isn't really well known for it. The media haven't helped but if we got it they would get behind us i guess. I don't think people realize this is a once in a life time thing for this generation!

I think lucy means this generation of football players. If so, then 16 years from now and most of them will be retired. Well the entire England squad would be
