I see the official bid has been launched today. Obviously as a footy fan, I'd be glad to see football come home again. Wondering what the reaction to the news will be like in the wider public.
*Books holiday to the middle of the nowhere for 12 months fore/during and 3 months aft the event*
given this country's record of overspending by mind boggling amounts on such events; I'd say we'd be better off paying off some of Mr Browns borrowing with the money
I'm not sure that Euro 96 was anything other than a cultural/ economic success. So, a chance to make bucket loads of cash from minimum expeniture should be passed by so we can cut off our noses to spite our faces and all have a further dig at Brown ?
The world cup's a sporting institution, but the football's fairly shite these days. Sub-standard to the domestic game we have in England, and not something I can really be arsed with watching. Still, the world cup coming to England (is it England and not the UK?) makes sense, and would be a positive, celebratory event for the country I think.
I like watching all football, mind, but the endless analysis and chin-strokery of England's performances is really tiresome. Combined with the pedestrian football on offer it's not my cup of tea.
So long as there is not another credit crunch ...
