Cameron Focus on WC 2018

November 30th, 2010 by free bet

I think we have got a very strong team here - Prince William, David Beckham and myself and we are going to be making the arguments for England 2018.

Prime Minister David Cameron deflected questions about the effect of the BBC’s Panorama programme on England’s 2018 World Cup bid ahead of a meeting with FIFA president Sepp Blatter.

Cameron flew into Zurich today and headed straight to FIFA headquarters to speak to Blatter, before starting a series of meetings with other FIFA executive committee members including Jack Warner ahead of Thursday’s World Cup vote.

Panorama alleged three FIFA members had taken bribes in the 1990s, and that Warner had attempted to secure World Cup tickets to supply to touts.

Asked about the effect of the programme, Cameron said: “I’ve only got one focus here and that’s trying to bring the World Cup home for England. That’s going to be my focus, talking to the decision-makers and pressing them on the brilliance of English football and what we can bring for this bid. I think we have got a very strong team here – Prince William, David Beckham and myself and we are going to be making the arguments for England 2018.”
