| Why Russia Should Not Host World Cup 2018 Posted: 23 Aug 2010 11:30 AM PDT
England and Russia are two of the front-runners to host World Cup 2018, and FIFA are in England this week assessing the English bid. I’m an England fan and therefore biased, but I’m now 100% sure Russia should not be hosting the World Cup eight years from now. I have no idea how long the above banner – in which racist Lokomotiv Moscow fans thank West Brom for buying their Nigerian-Russian striker Peter Odemwingie – was tolerated for, but the fact that is was unfurled at all suggests that the Russian football authorities still have some work to do before hosting the rest of the world. You might be pleased to hear that an Odemwingie-less Lokomotiv lost 3-0 to Dynamo Moscow this weekend, while West Brom beat Sunderland 1-0 with Odemwingie scoring on his debut. Which suggests that Lokomotov fans are confused in more ways than one, because it’s West Brom fans who should be thanking them.
