Why did England fail to land the World Cup in 2018?

[Uberloitenment]

Some say its because country's no longer respect England

Are England reallly on their way down as some say - deluding themselves that they are still a great nation while their team performs badly in South Africa and hasn't won anything since 1966?

Their unlikely trio of Cameron, Prince 'let's party' William and not-too-bright (allegedly) David Beckham were a source of amusement for many countries but did they help or hinder England? (Doesn't look as if they were much help)

Vladimir Putin meanwhile stays dignified in his own homeland as his country takes the World Cup and it could be decades before England has another chance.

What does everyone think?

Let the Russians deal with the British football hooligans, good job I say!
