FA chief Lord Triesman accuses Spain and Russia of bid to bribe World Cup referees

 

England's campaign to host the 2018 World Cup was in chaos last night after the Football Association’s chairman accused Spain and Russia of planning to bribe referees in this summer’s tournament.

 

Lord Triesman, the former Government Minister who was given the job of trying to rebuild the FA’s scandal-hit reputation, made the extraordinary claim during an hour-long meeting with a former aide. He divulged highly sensitive information about England’s 2018 bid – which he is leading – and, in what will be viewed as a disastrous lapse of judgment, accused rival nations of corruption.

 

The 66-year-old Labour peer suggested that Spain may withdraw its bid to stage the 2018 finals if Russia, which also wants to host the event, helps it to bribe referees in next month’s World Cup tournament in South Africa. The allegations are likely to cause outrage in Spain, one of the favourites in this summer’s tournament.

Germany captain Michael Ballack ruled out of World Cup

 

Germany captain Michael Ballack has been ruled out of the World Cup because of the ankle injury he sustained in Saturday's FA Cup final.

 

The 33-year-old Chelsea midfielder made his international debut in 1999 and appeared in the last two World Cups.

 

Ballack flew to Germany on Saturday for scans on the ankle, which revealed the problem to be serious enough for him to miss the entire finals in South Africa.

Without Ballack?

I had initially picked them in a fantasy bracket, but now I'm second guessing (even though he's just one player and wouldn't have contributed as many goals as, say, miroslav klose).

 

Generally speaking I have no clue, Brazil's not what it once was, France only made it in via a missed handball... so I dunno, maybe England?
