FIFA PRESIDENT SEPP BLATTER FALLS ON HIS ARSE
WORLD CUP GOSSIP
Too late, it would appear the Football Association have decided to grow a pair and tell the truth about FIFA.
Acting chairman Roger Burden withdrew his candidacy for the permanent role on the grounds he did not trust the governing body and would not deal with them, and the execrable friendly with Thailand in June will not take place, because it was only arranged in exchange for a vote, which did not materialise.
No doubt the Thai royal family - whose celebrations were the flimsy cover for this travesty of a game - will delight in welcoming Russia to Bangkok instead, or the stars of the Qatar national team.
Indeed, after the bid announcement on Thursday, the members of the FIFA executive committee were asked to name their favourite Qatar player. They said Eric Clapton.

In a move that appears to be a side-swipe at football's ruling body following the vote by FIFA to grant the World Cup venue in 2018 to Russia and not England, Mr Johnson has removed free hotel accommodation that had been awarded to Sepp Blatter, FIFA president and his team at the Dorchester Hotel.
