So England think they've got his support, but then ultimately they all go for Russia and Qatar.

But you promised.

You shook my hand.

The whole thing of England and Britain staying out of FIFA at the start, that we think they're better than it.

There's an arrogance there.

Yes, you're right.

It's kind of win-win, actually.

So Blatter made this unprecedented decision to vote on the 2018 and 22 World Cups at the same time, which means if you're bidding for 2018, you can trade your vote with someone for 22, so you can basically do a swap vote.

Right.

Also, Putin wants to reassert Russia as a world power.

He's invaded the Crimea at this point.

But again, that doesn't matter to FIFA, given that they've given it to Mussolini in the past.

Now, an MI6 spy, Christopher Steele, uncovers all the rumors, including valuable paintings from the Hermitage Museum are offered to FIFA executive committee members in exchange for votes.

Allegations Russia had provided computers to FIFA officials that were later destroyed, which means that the investigation was impossible.

And in 2010, in Zurich, Russia and Qatar are announced as the winners of the votes.

I remember this.

I was at uni.

Student protests.

Kettling.

This is Clegg.
