If the Fifa execs have any sense (which is essentially the problem) they will pick England for the 2018 World Cup.
The list of potential venues that was published today is reminder of how mental each and every game would be. The new Home Park in Plymouth and Ashton Gate in Bristol, Elland Road, Stadium of Light, stadium:mk - what you get with these is the most amazing cross-section of fans and cultures anywhere in football.
Every region is accounted for, including the South West for the first time, and you have to take your hat off to our much-maligned bid team for presenting a plan that will give our most passionate pockets of fans the chance to see (and scream at) top international sides in action.
The new Wembley is mind-blowing, the new Olympic stadium will be too, and without much doubt the offerings from Tottenham, Forest and Liverpool will be right up there as well. All the likes of Blatter and Warner have to do is visit these places for a few hours and they can't help but be blown away. Surely?
