What Are the Odds on England Staging the 2014 World Cup?

According to The Times today, the progress for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil is virtually non-existent, with stadia and transport links, either not planned or years late.

FIFA would never take the World Cup away from Brazil, but where will they stage it in that country?  I’m told the beaches are nice, even if the stadia are crap!

There are only a handful of countries that are ready to stage an event like the World Cup tomorrow, of which England and the United States are two.  But as they aren’t on Sepp Blatter’s Christmas Card list, it would be unlikely they’d be given the chance.

But then the finals will have to be played somewhere!
