Fifa's president, Sepp Blatter, today called England "bad losers" and flatly rejected allegations of corruption in the wake of last week's decision to award the 2018 and 2022 World Cups to Russia and Qatar respectively.
"To be honest, I was surprised by all the English complaining after the defeat. England, of all people, the motherland of fair play ideas," said Blatter. "Now some of them are showing themselves to be bad losers. You can't come afterwards and say so and so promised to vote for England. The results are known. The outcome came out clearly."
