WORLD CUP HISSY FIT

The reaction from the England bid boss Andy Anson appears to me to be going over the top. Why couldn't he just accept the verdict gracefully. Perhaps he should take a tip from cricket and just "walk". All this recrimination and bitterness does England's reputation no credit at all. Surely we should congratulate the winners and look forward to a good World Cup in Russia. I would have loved to see the Cup come to England, but I can also see distinct advantages for world football in an Eastern European country being the Hosts next time. Someone please ask Andy to retire gracefully. He did his best and as in football the best team doesn't always win.
