Vladimir Putin will be the one deciding who will end up winning the World Cup of Soccer. Of course high rollers across Asia will also have a say in the final outcome. Soccer is the most corrupt sport on the planet.
PS. Putin couldn't even manage a hockey gold at Sochi, lol, can't wait to see how manages WC '18 ...
Would love to see the united bid from Canada, US , and Mexico win the 2026 bid.
For sure I would go see all games played in Montreal probably some in Toronto and New York as well.
FIFA does NOT pay any taxes to the country hosting the event
Just like Uber, Netflix and a whole lot of companies...
Cheers,
The difference is that those companies although they don't pay their share of taxes don't require that we build stadiums and pay for security to host their services ! They simply don't contribute.
