Trinidad & Tobago: FIFA Insult

B.C. Pires comments on the FIFA Vice-President's explanation as to why England did not win their World Cup bid: “It would have been nice if there was a journalist amongst the crowd of sycophants…who could have asked Jack if there was any insult at all involved in having lunch with the British PM, the second in line to the throne and getting David Beckham to hold a football camp in Trinidad, when there was never any intention to support the England bid.”
