a) I doubt anyone is in the least surprised if there was any corruption in either bid
b) I think there is zero chance of these two World Cups being move, unfortunately.
FIFA carrying on as normal

strong and stable with me, or...
What is clear is that getting a World Cup costs a lot less than a DUP deal.
FIFA have just released the full report, which they claim they were always about to do, and it is a coincidence that Bild have about to publish a leaked version.
In other news, I've just had a threesome with Rachel Riley and Inigo Calderon.

All a bit disappointing The whole reason Garcia resigned was because he said the published Fifa summary by Eckert had left loads out and misrepresented his report findings.
But it didn't at all. While we all think there was corruption, there is no smoking gun for Russia/Qatar, and the people that come off worst are Garcia himself and England.
We'll never know what was on those destroyed Russian computers.
And the way the FA humiliated themselves trying to curry favour with that crook Warner is their all-time low point.

Both the Russians and Qataris are both claiming the release of the full report exonerates their respective clean and ethical WC winning campaigns!! Like the investigation would actually manage to uncover something such as X amount of dollars being put into a Russian or Qatari bank account for the use of someone in return for a vote.
I'm not so sure about Garcia. His full report was critical of the lack of governance of FIFA, under the leadership of Blatter, who came in for no such criticism in the abridged version.
All the bidding countries with the exception of Belgium behaved unethically. Garcia had no mandate to inspect bank accounts or force people to testify so he was on a hiding to nothing.
