It would have been nice of them to just start off the entire bidding process with "Look, we're going for developing countries, we don't want to give it to the likes of England, America or Australia. We want to help countries develop by 'gifting' them the World Cup rather than 'gifting' the World Cup to a country that doesn't need the cash for football since it's already loaded." or something like that. Even simply "We want to give it to a country that has never hosted the World Cup" would have been fine.
I'm slightly disappointed by FIFA, but it's nothing new. One does have to wonder how long it will take for either FIFA to change it's ways or alternatively for some international G-14 style group to force a change.
