Perhaps the worst kept secret/most inevitable awarding of a World Cup takes place today as Brazil will get the 2014 Mondial. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/7068848.stm)

And now come the dirty words and threats from Sevilla (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/t/tottenham_hotspur/7068946.stm); steal our manager, but don't touch the players. Unless you pay well over their value.

Neville and Carrick back in for United, (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/man_utd/7068723.stm) while the years may be catching up with Scholesy. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/man_utd/7059527.stm)

A British POV of yesterday's World Cup decision. (http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/thereporters/mihirbose/2007/10/post_4.html) It's hard not to see China and Russia, with their growing economic might, as solid darkhorse candidates. But there's going to be no cheating, no back room deals, no payoffs--you got that? (http://football.guardian.co.uk/News_Story/0,,2201705,00.html)

While the short term looks bad for Valencia, (http://football.guardian.co.uk/breakingnews/feedstory/0,,-7035415,00.html) they want the long term to be highlighted by a big name in charge. Anyone that's breathing and has a reputation has been linked to it already. Marcelo Lippi's non-denial denial here. (http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11827_2835440,00.html)
