Spain 2018?
How’s this for good news ahead of Euro 2008?
According to published reports, FIFA president Sepp Blatter wants Spain to bid for the 2018 World Cup.
“I have good memories of the 1982 World Cup in Spain,” Blatter told a visiting party of 50 soccer officials from Spain led by Angel Maria Villar, a vice president of FIFA.
Talk about inflating someone’s head …
“I have heard that you might have some interest in hosting another World Cup,” Blatter said Monday while stroking a white cat and sipping on bourbon. “I encourage the Spanish FA to present a bid and the next occasion when this would be possible is for 2018,” Blatter added while slipping a love note to Villar with the question, ‘Do you like me?’ on it.
Blatter added that should Villar like him, he should check the box that says, ‘Yes’.
South Africa will be the first African nation to host the tournament in 2010, and Brazil has been awarded the 2014 World Cup.
The English Football Association has set aside $29.5 million for its bid to host the 2018 tournament. Other likely candidates include the United States, Mexico, Canada, Belgium and Netherlands as a joint bid, Russia, China, Japan and Australia.
FIFA votes on the host nation in 2011.
Would be great to see the World Cup Final at the Bernabeu … on second thought … USA!! USA!!!
