Sound of Football Podcast 65 part 2 - 2018/2022 World Cup Bid

Blogpost | Download
In this episode, Chris, Graham and Terry reflect on the surprising (or perhaps not-so-surprising) FIFA announcement that Russia will host the 2018 World Cup and Qatar will host the 2022 equivalent. Could the England bid team have avoided so much disappointment, frustration and anger by simply not bidding in the first place.

With Chris Oakley, Graham Sibley and Terry Duffelen.
