yes...just now I blur tot need qualify ...but feels weird coz qatar never qualified before well anythg can change in 12 years i suppose

if host doesn't auto qualify, then lots of country won't apply d

I guess it is all about money. Both country got big pocket to host WC. Why did they change the rules that holder of WC need to qualify?

not just WC, winner of any football competition also need to re-qualify

dunno y, maybe they want the team to prove they can do it again kot lol

wah...mother russia host 2018 world cup...

so England has to wait at least another 16 years to win the world cup again

Maybe BBC's investigation into FIFA may have caused some discomfort...or maybe because 2012 was too close to 2018...or maybe because England don't bribe!

lol england failure in wc continue...they will never win wc as long as they didnt host the tournament...

Becks had tears in his eyes...I really pity the England's team at Zurich...all heartbroken, and rumour has it they were knocked out in the first round of bid and was placed last

normally how many stadiums used in a world cup?
cuz Russia's stadiums time zone ranges from 2 hour late till 5 hours late..

Not rumours. Its confirmed:

8-10 if not mistaken

Lineker tweeted that it's a rumour, only now it's confirmed

Yup depend on the standard of FIFA. 2014 got 11 stadiums and 2010 got 10 stadiums

any video of the announcement?

Damn. Rooney and co can't win the world cup then.
