England 2018? It could be just like 1966 all over again. Photograph: AP
Everybody’s going to say it could all be just like 1966 all over again, so I might as well join in.
It could be just like 1966 all over again – Gordon Brown announced a feasibility study today into the possibility of England hosting the 2018 World Cup. Doing the seemingly mandatory politician-talking-about-football routine of unconvincingly kicking a ball while wearing an expensive suit and shiny shoes, he said it was “about time” the competition made a return to these shores.
The chancellor – accompanied by England 1966 World Cup final goalscorer Martin Peters – said hosting the tournament six years after the 2012 Olympics in London would establish England as the “sporting nation of the world”.
