It's not even a running gag anymore that both Russia and Qatar were both awarded dodgy World Cup bids.

AFAIK literally every bidding nation including ourselves made attempts at bunging it. Remember when Fifa published like a 3 page summary of the Garcia report that caused the guy to quit after they claimed it cleared the whole process. Or the time 3 million apiece started appearing in the bank accounts set up for daughters of FIFA voters. Lord Triesman identified 4 of these members 6 years before they were prosecuted for it and implicated in the Garcia report because they'd handily asked the England campaign for the same bribe.

The FA make enough money to deal with grassroots things themselves, the pressure ought to be on them.
