Those complaining about this tournament behind held in Poland and Ukraine:

1. When should this policy change have happened in your opinion? It's not like this was ever taken into accounts for World Cups, Olympic games or European Championships "back in the day" as far as I know.

2. Are these sporting events not a decent way to bring attention to these atrocious things?

3. What countries would you actually accept hosting big sporting events then? Racism is only one of the problems here, I have a feeling that the list of countries that can afford these kinds of events and would qualify to host them would be relatively short.

4. No World Cup in Brazil in 2014 then either?

Should never have been awarded

No

I'll let you devise a list. Needless to say Ukraine shouldn't be on it. Wasting £9 billion on the champs is obscene for a start in a country so poor.

Racism in Brasil? Don't think so. Violence maybe. Poverty? Yes. Improving readily? Definitely.

Next World Cup in Syria then? fudge it, 50 kids with machetes in their heads is fudge all really. Let's not let that stop a game of footy eh?

Your 'points' are as childlike as they are stunningly simple to rebut. Must try harder in future to troll.
 
Although I've played down the fears of travelling to Ukraine I agree with Leeds tournament shouldn't be played there simple reason? Better alternatives. Italy bid for
This tournament yet were turned away all
It comes down to now is Uefa/FIFA picking countries without the infrastructure to host a tournament and Uefa/FIFA affiliated companies get
The contracts. Read
Somewhere one of the host cities for this tournament needed better transport links so a new tram system was built who got the contract? Something like platinis nephew or blatters nephew ridiculous

Feel free to answer again while actually taking the questions seriously and not thinking of me as a child if you wish to discuss this.

Good luck!
 
Frank Lampard has no plans to turn his back on England as he faces the prospect of missing out on Euro 2012.
 
hahaha, it's like everyone who shouldn't be in the team is getting injured until Roy FINALLY is forced to pick the players who should have gone in the first place.

Sorry but Carrick, Richards, and Lennon should have gone no question. Karma maybe that now the players who unfairly stood in their way are all getting injured.

To those saying respected managers must have some greater wisdom than the rest of us I don't see where you get that from. They're not super-geniuses who have an uncanny ability to see the unseen. Many of them got where they are through good networking as much as being a good manager, and they do stupid things all the time. I would argue that people on forums such as this gain a collective wisdom that is more often right than wrong. Plus I'm sure there are political "considerations" over who is picked for the English National team, as others have said I'm fairly certain that the manager is forced to pick certain players.

They don't view a football match as surgically as they are given credit for imo. I'm not afraid to say they're clueless when they do something blatantly stupid, which Woy has already done.

Why is it that every time you write down a number it shows as '?ú9' to me? Or are you actually writing that down every time? I'm confused.
