Indeed, Ralph. Yet, incredibly, there is now a nationwide petition underway to host the World Cup in Engerland in 2018 innit.

Is there an alternative petition to keep it away? Or will even footballers be unable to afford the long haul air fares by then?
Hosting the world cup would not cost so much. We wouldn't need to build any significant new infrastructure, because it already exists. The Olympics was always going to be expensive, especially after the decision to rebuild Wembley as a football-specific venue rather than being able to double as an athletics stadium.
