The English FA were quite happy to
go along with FIFA process knowing it was bent, until they lost the bid.
A principled stance earlier would have had more credibility.
Sadly, easy now to be accused of sour grapes by opponents like Argentinian FA.
Disappointing though , that most delegates happy to nod along with Blatter.
Lovely old gravy train, I suppose...
