[quote]Suspended Fifa president Sepp Blatter has suggested there was an agreement in place for Russia to host the 2018 World Cup - before the vote took place. The 79-year-old told Russian news agency Tass of a "discussion" in 2010 around future World Cups. He also said a late swing in the voting towards Qatar undid a similar agreement to give the 2022 World Cup to the USA. The Swiss is serving a 90-day ban alongside Uefa chief Michel Platini. Both men deny any wrongdoing. Asked about whether it was a mistake to award the 2018 and 2022 tournaments simultaneously, Blatter replied: "It was agreed that we go to Russia because it's never been in Russia, eastern Europe, and for 2022 we go back to America. "And so we will have the World Cup in the two biggest political powers." In a wide-ranging interview, Blatter, who will be replaced as head of world football's governing body after an election on 26 February, also said: -Russia will "never" lose the 2018 World Cup -England are "bad losers" over perceived media criticism of the 2018 and 2022 Word Cup bidding process -Most national football associations "don't like" Uefa-backed Fifa presidential candidate Gianni Infantino -His current suspension is a "total nonsense" and that the Fifa ethics committee have failed him[/quote] [url=http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/34657900]BBC[/url]
