England are to bid to host the 2018 World Cup. The finals are not likely return to Europe for 12 years after the 2006 tournament in Germany.But Football Association chief executive Brian Barwick hopes England can host them then."I think we would bid further down the line. The next time that it should come to Europe is probably 2018 so we've got enough time to get ourselves organised," he revealed today."It's right and proper for the London Olympics bid to take precedence. But why wouldn't we go for it?"England hosted the World Cup in 1966 and also successfully staged Euro 96.

England 2018?

I think Hosting the World Cup in England would not only be good for them but it would also be good for all of Britan and Ireland. I think it's a bit early though to be talking about the 2018 World Cup after all it is 13 years away.I doubt much of the players playing for England at the moment will take part at all in the 2018 World Cup no matter where it's held, just think David Beckham will be 43 three when 2018 comes around.
