Hanging Out The Blatter it | The History of The World Cup (Part 4/4)

I didn't like that.

Fin vs History
Hanging Out The Blatter it | The History of The World Cup (Part 4/4)

That's like the brown sound.

Fin vs History
Hanging Out The Blatter it | The History of The World Cup (Part 4/4)

I need to go to the toilet the whole time.

So, Russia bid for the World Cup in 2018.

Fin vs History

England also bid.

Now, this is where the corruption starts to unravel.

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

Fin vs History

But you promised.

Fin vs History

Fin vs History
Hanging Out The Blatter it | The History of The World Cup (Part 4/4)

There's an arrogance there.

Fin vs History
Hanging Out The Blatter it | The History of The World Cup (Part 4/4)

Yes, you're right.

Fin vs History
Hanging Out The Blatter it | The History of The World Cup (Part 4/4)

Fin vs History

Right.

Fin vs History
Hanging Out The Blatter it | The History of The World Cup (Part 4/4)

He's invaded the Crimea at this point.

Fin vs History
Hanging Out The Blatter it | The History of The World Cup (Part 4/4)

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