The accusation of corruption has been ongoing for sometime now and actually extends to the Olympics also. When you think of how some finals have been allocated in the last 50 years you could say it went well back. For example some nations had near enough back to back tournaments, tournaments in countries that did not do football while others who had ready to stadia kept being knocked back must indicate measurements other than best bid have affected the decisions.
Blater needs to go, the Russian and Qutar world cups need reallocated, corruption should not rule.

Which countries have "had near enough back to back tournaments"?
1930 Uruguay
1934 Italy
1938 France
1950 Brazil
1954 Switzerland
1958 Sweden
1962 Chile
1966 England
1970 Mexico
1974 West Germany
1978 Argentina
1982 Spain
1986 Mexico after Columbia pulled out at short notice
1990 Italy
1994 USA
1998 France
2002 S.Korea/Japan
2006 Germany
2010 South Africa
2014 Brazil
Only country that could be considered as "did not do football" is USA & the reason was to introduce the wider American public to the beautiful game which has taken off superbly since then, so job done there.
Don't get me wrong I am not defending FIFA which I think is corrupt to the core but if you are going to make accusations at least do it with real facts.
