The Fifa president Sepp Blatter today confirmed that the 2014 World Cup will be staged in Brazil, who will host the tournament for the first time since 1950.

Brazil were the only country bidding to host the finals, but their delegation went through the formality of making a 30-minute presentation to the world governing body's executive committee in Zurich earlier today, before being officially awarded the finals.

"The task was not easy - for us it was a real big challenge to have the same list of requirements and the same conditions for only one candidate than if we had two and perhaps we put the bar higher than if we had two," said Blatter. "There was an extraordinary presentation by the delegation and we witnessed that this World Cup will have such a big social and cultural impact in Brazil.

Sepp got in because of him - so of course he wouldn't be.

Last time I checked, weren't you in masses of debt as a nation? I wonder how you'll be paying for this...

Imagine your teams in the year 2014 though. 7 years from now..

I'm sure Brasil themselves won't have Ronaldo, Dinho, Lucio, Dida, Gilberto and lots more.

Kaka, Adriano will be 30/31, while Robinho and Daniel Alves should be at their peak.. Players like Sobis, Pato, Lucas will be the ones talked about most.

I can't imagine what my team will have in 2014. :huh:

For England, maybe we'll have:

Carson

Richards----Huddlestone----S. Taylor----Baines

Walcott----M. Johnson----Muamba----Downing

Rooney----Sinclair

Just off the top of me head....
