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 about future World Cups.
He added a late swing in voting that gave Qatar the 2022 World Cup undid a similar agreement to hand it to USA.
The Swiss is serving a 90-day ban alongside Uefa chief Michel Platini. Both men deny any wrongdoing.
Asked whether it was a mistake to hold voting for the 2018 and 2022 tournaments simultaneously, Blatter replied that before the ballot: "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."
The bidding process for the 2018 and 2022 tournaments is the subject of an ongoing Swiss criminal investigation, begun alongside a US inquiry following the arrest and indictment of several top executives by the US Department of Justice.

Fifa, Russia, Sepp Blatter, Vladimir Putin.
There is no telling the depths to which this confluence of events and the actors involved sunk.

Harrumph
The US WC in the 90's holds many similarities.
the world for good or bad has shrunk, and things which occur now carry many more nuances, which now are not nuances.
The tourney came here Based on growing the sport, nothing more.
