For Australia, Ben Buckley spoke about a “No Worries World Cup”.
Alexei Sorokin said Russia would be ready to show “the new country” it had become.
But, for my money, much the most interesting presentation of the three World Cup bidders that spoke at this week’s International Football Arena was that given by Yuuichiro Nakajima of Japan, the only one of the trio, by my judgment, with little chance of winning.
