quote:

Reaction to the week’s events includes this from the president of the French Football Federation, Noël Le Graët, who voted for Blatter at the presidential election, but has “no regrets”. “I don’t regret [voting for Blatter], I’ve always assumed my responsibilities. I think Blatter led Fifa without cheating and I still think that. There’s a lot of mud-slinging.”

He also told RMC: “There were two candidates: Prince Ali and Sepp Blatter, I preferred Blatter. I didn’t think Prince Ali had enough experience. At the time I voted, Fifa was not corrupt up to the top. There were certainly lapses at global level, but to imagine that Fifa, from its headquarters, could arrange cheating, I didn’t believe that last week.” Will he resign? “I don’t see why I should.”

There are 17 buildings in the UK with a capacity of 40k+. One of them (Twickenham) is a rugby field.

4 of them are in London (Wembly, Olympic, Emirates, Twickenham).

3 of them are in Glasgow (Hampden, Ibrox, Celtic)

41% facilities in the UK that can hold 40k+ people are in two cities.

l don't think the World Cups are that expensive to host when you don't have to build a million new stadiums. Obviously FIFA construction firms will miss the kick backs

none of the big stadiums are in the bumfuck prairies. they're mostly in the south.

if you're being expansive with your definition of prairie, there's five above 40k:

Arrowhead Stadium (Kansas City -- which hosted WC match in 1994 iirc)
Kansas Memorial Stadium
Bill Snyder Family Stadium (Kansas State)
Gaylord Stadium (Oklahoma)
Boone Pickens Stadium (Oklahoma State)
Memorial Stadium (Nebraska)

You could also include Iowa and Iowa State's stadiums.
