England could be in line to host the World Cup in 2010 if South Africa cannot get the necessary infrastructure ready in time. FIFA president Sepp Blagger erm… Blatter has confirmed that England are being considered as potential replacements along with the United States, Mexico, Japan and Spain.
He did point out though that such contingency plans were made for every tournament. He said: “It was the same case in Germany. Something can happen. A natural catastrophe or whatever, a big change in society – everybody against football.”
