All discussions regarding World Cup 2018 should be made in this thread.
I have included it under the Australian World Cup bid section mostly because who wins 2018 will have a great influence on whether Australia wins 2022.
This is how I see the first round of voting panning out:
Senior Vice President (Argentina) Julio Grondona - Iberia for obvious reasons
Vice President (Cameroon) Issa Hayatou - Hard to pick. Cannot see him backing Iberia, possibly England first up for me
Vice President (Sth Korea) Chung **** Joon - Bin Hammam is claiming that AFC will vote us a block for Iberia. Problem is, Chung **** Joon cannot stand Bin Hammam. I predict that he will back England, the best bid technically for 2018.
Vice President (T & T) Jack Warner "The world's biggest gangster" will follow Blazer and back England first up.
Vice Presdient (Spain) Ángel María Villar - Iberia obviously.
Vice President (France) Michel Platini - Wants to see football taken to new frontiers and a statesmen of the game. Will back Russia first up.
Vice President (PNG??) David Chung. Temarii currently suspended. OFC in the process of replacing him on the FIFA executive committee with Chung. If this does happen, expect Chung to back England, through ties with Australia.
Vice President (England) Geoff Thompson - England obviously.
Member (Belgium) Michel D'Hooghe - Belgium/Holland bid obviously
Member (Brazil) Ricardo Teixeria - Backing Iberia through political connections and Qatar/South American collusion.
Member (Qatar) M. Bin Hammam - Iberian bid thanks to collusion
Member (Turkey) Senes Erzik - Has been quoted as saying he will NOT back Iberia. Will probably back Russia.
Member (USA) Chuck Blazer - No American will ever back Russia, Blazer hates Qatar who are colluding with Iberia. Seems almost certain that he will back England first up.
Member (Paraguay) Hard to pick. Not generally considered to be part of the Qatar/Latino collusion although could go down that path anyway. Most likely Iberia.
Member (Thailand) Worawi Makudi - Will follow Bin Hammam and back Iberia first up.
Member (Japan) Junji Ogura - I think he will back the Belgium/Holland bid in return for D'Hooghe's support in the first round. Effectively the two weakest bids supporting each other.
Member (Cyprus) Marios Lefkaritis - Backing England through historical and political ties.
Member (Cameroon) Jacques Anouma - Again will not back Iberia. I'll say that he could vote either Russia or England, most likely Russia in the first round.
Member (Germany) Franz Beckenbauer - England backed Germany after they were knocked out in 2006 voting so expect Beckenbauer to return the favor.
Member (Guatemala) Most likely to follow Warner/Blazer and back England first up. Will certainly not back Iberia thanks to Blazer & Warner who are vehemently against them colluding with Qatar.
Member (Egypt) Hany Abo Rida - Backing Qatar in 2022 first up so will more then likely back Iberia first up
Member (Russia) Vitaly Mutko - Russia for obvious reasons.
First Round:
Russia 8
England 8 (or 7 if OFC does not vote)
Iberia 5
Belgium/Holland 2
Second Round:
Both voters to back Iberia that backed Belgium/Netherlands. Everyone else to vote as previously.
Russia 8
England 8 (or 7 if no OFC vote)
Iberia 7
I am not sure what happens when there is a tie in the penultimate round. If Blatter casts his vote to break the tie I believe that he would back England mostly because he cannot stand Qatar and their collusion with Iberia
I have no idea on how the final round of votes would pan out should it be Russia vs England. Anybody care to elaborate?
If voting doesn't go according to my predictions and Iberia wins, then that isn't good for our bid thanks to the Qatar collusion.
If Iberia do not win expect their "bloc" to lash out and not back Qatar for 2022.
Worst result for Australia: Iberian win.
Best result - An English victory. Anyone aligned with Russia will vote against the US.
