I am not upset that England lost the world cup charge. Russia and Qatar have never hosted the extravaganza.
Jolly good luck to them. They have deep pockets and that is necessary to lay on a lavish show.
Russia doesn't have a brilliant record on race relations and will need to redouble their efforts to make the country alluring.
Qatar isn't exactly a haven for workers' rights and so that might change.
Sepp Blatter, the president of world football's governing body, has been a recalcitrant bureaucrat on a plethora of issues but sending the tournament into new territories has been his grand flourish.
Earlier this year it was South Africa. In 2018 Russia will have the fun and in 2022 everyone will roast in the Middle East.
A new meaning to the phrase hot tickets.
