England lost their bid for 2018 World Cup, it's a major talking point now and why?
Merely hard to answer but certainly they deserve to be elected and hosting the event in 2018.
It was really a disappointing news going around the world and many question has been raise up after the announcement was made.
Russia get their chance to host the event and Qatar will follow up in 2022.
In
history, England only won once the WC that is in 1966 as a host where they beat West Germany 4 - 2.
After there on, England has failed to qualified into the finals and their best record was in 1990 where they been eliminated in the semi finals.
Becoming a host of such grand event was a great honor for any countries who qualify to stage the World Cup.
Let's get back to 1966 World Cup and look at the players who has won it before.

7. Wayne Rooney - Age : 24
Average age of the players are 28 and the youngest player in the squad are 23 years old.
And this age factors has been an issue when England once again failed to qualify further in 2010.
It happened to the France squad as well who totally fail with their quest in that tournament.
The impact of this factor really giving Fabio Capello a hard times after the 2010 world cup.
As most of the team compete in the World Cup 2010 has an average age of players who below 25 years old in their squad.
And it is proved to be an entertaining performance by the youngsters throughout the tournaments.
I would say England must win World Cup 2014 in Brazil and proved their pride that giving away World cup 2018 to Russia was the wrong decision by FIFA.
It is well proven in the Premier League nowadays, that England has more talented young players who manage to carry on their ambition and lift the World cup away from their home.
Frustration and humiliation upon being failed with the bid are not really affecting England squad after all.
Players such as Scott Loach, Garry Cahill, Kieran Gibbs, Chris Smalling, Micah Richards, Jordan Henderson, Jack Wilshere, James Milner, Ashley Young, Adam Johnson, Theo Walcott, Andrew Carrol are still young and plus many others future talented bright young players who are still not been highlighted here could be representing England in 2014 World Cup.
England has the capabilities to win the World Cup in 2014 since they are proved to be one of the best team in Europe.
There is no doubts about that and the preparation for conquering the title has long been set up.
What really matters now is the efficiency of that said plan should be strong enough to convince all the relevance authorities especially the England FA.
By then, the confidence are really vital to complete the mission.
As one of the power house in football in Europe, you must be aware that such ambition is a must to achieve in future for England respectively.
Winning the World Cup for the second time would be more high priority for England and hosting the World Cup would be an advantage.
But I rather not to like the situation where England won it again in home soil because when you can win the world cup outside from your country then you would know the differences very well.
Let's create another history and it better well written outside from England for the quest to bring back the cup back to England instead.
