“You did not have a chance because you had a double candidature,” Blatter late in an interview with the NIS to know.
The 80-year-old Swiss, who in late February in world football was followed by Gianni Infantino, did not have good memories of the world Cup 2002 in South Korea and Japan and had a strong preference for a tournament in one country.
“Yes, I knew it , because we had decided after 2002. no more double candidacy. Even Spain and Portugal had no chance, “said Blatter.
the Netherlands and Belgium have invested over ten million euros in the campaign for the 2018 World Cup to win. The “Low Countries” had competition from England, Russia and a joint bid from Spain and Portugal. The executive committee of FIFA rejected the organization in December 2010 to Russia.
Cool
Blatter understand still not sure why the Netherlands and Belgium anyway ventured a try. “You always countries that want to act tough and try it anyway. This also applies to Spain and Portugal.”
The statements of Blatter , which for six years abeyance do not agree with what he said before the election in 2010. When the Swiss called it “HollandBelgiumBid ” sympathetic ‘and Blatter said it was” wonderful “find” that try to win the World Cup of small countries.
Blatter surprised last year the football world by calling already been agreed before the vote in FIFA’s head office to which countries would go to the world Cups of 2018 and 2022. Netherlands and Belgium switched to a law firm to investigate legal action
