I bet this made your day :)

This would be common among all the bids as this is how FIFA politics works. The IOC cleaned up their act after the Salt Lake City issues and hopefully FIFA change their ways too. It is more of a reflection on FIFA than the bidders as this is how their bidding process works, with lots of hands in the pot unfortunately.
Well thats what all bids are hoping for :banana: but i don't think FIFA even cares, look at what happened with the England bid, almost nothing... :cheers:
