I wish Jack Warner will pay the T & T their bonuses before sounding like an arsehole. This is a man who oly cares about money. Its the same person whose family made a fortune selling World Cup tickets at inflated prices. Shut the fuck up and put your own house in order.

England should be given the WC because it is a fair, enlightened and progressive country. Spain cannot be trusted with an event of this magnitude because of its racism.

England have made a lot of progress under Fabio Capello.

They definately have some work to do in order to be the finished product. I don’t think there is a definate starting eleven even.

The good news is they are looking excellent in the qualifying:

You know, when you’re competing with Australia, the United States, and Spain, having good infrastructure won’t cut it.

Warner is a scumbag, but he has a point (not the one mentioned here, but his wider point): the 2016 World Cup probably has England as the “most worthy” candidate, based on football infrastructure, tradition and time-since-last-hosted, but they have to be proactive and not expect it to get handed to them.

The man is obviously fishing for bribes, but in the end, this is FIFA. They are not coldly rational, grown men with a puritanical moral code. They’re businessmen that get to decide who gets the world’s biggest sporting event.

Warner sounds like a parody of himself in the quote.

He’s a senile old goat that doesn’t know shit anyway.
And as if he’s anyone to talk, maybe he should look at his own home country and the crime within trinidad, but i suppose no big deal if supporters get killed while attending a football match, as long as the dignitaries get some free sugar cane in a goody bag, right Jack?
