After a 40 minute delay it was finally revealed that Russia would host the worldwide competition, much to the shock and dismay from many bookmakers and British press that widely regarded the English bid was the strongest, despite the untimely airing of BBC Panorama documentary exposing FIFA delegates of alleged bribery cases.
It will be the first time Russia will host a World cup.

NEWS: LeBron James To Announce Decision Live on ESPN
Whilst World Cup euphoria has dominated the airwaves this side of the pond, our 'special friends' in the states have been gripped in anticipation over who LeBron James will sign with.
LeBron played forward for the Cleveland Cavaliers all his career and is basketball's most coveted, and lucrative free agent, however he is out of contract with the Cavaliers and is free to move to the club of his choice.
His decision will be broadcasted live on ESPN with some of the funds going to charitable organisation the Boys and Girls Club of America.
In the the weeks leading up to 'The Decision', James had meetings with big teams such as Chicago Bulls, and the New York Knicks.
Even the White house has been involved with Robert Gibbs, the White house spokesman saying 'I think the President still believes that he would look quite good in a Bulls (Chicago) uniform'.
To add to it all LeBron signed up to Twitter under the name of @KingJames and clocked up more than 280,000 followers tweeting about his 'Decision'
Furthermore, James has reportedly spoke to Jay-Z about his decision. The rapper is a minority partner for the New Jersey Nets and its been reported that Jay-Z wants to sway to Lebron to the Nets.
With big names wooing him and politicians like the president and New York's mayor, Michael Bloomberg lobbying for his signature, America will have to wait for the biggest news that will rock the NBA this summer.
Word is, Lebron was spotted leaving Eastlands this morning with Sheikh Mansour.. Manchester City are signing him just for the fun of it..

NEWS: Patrick Viera completes Man. City Move
Ex Arsenal and French international Patrick Viera signed for Manchester City today on a free transfer from Inter Milan.
The midfielder will link up with his old Inter boss, Carlo Ancelotti in a hope to secure a top four finish with City in the Premier League.
Speaking at a press conference at Eastlands today Viera said, "I decided to come here because the club wanted to be successful, and hopefully I will have the oppurtunity to get back into the French national team".
When asked, 'How do you think you will feel when you play against Arsenal?', Viera raplied, "The same way that I will when I play against other teams".
Meanwhile when the topic of playing against Manchester United came up Viera said, "It's always been exciting to play against United, it will always be a special game".
Viera also went on to say, "I wanted the right challenge I wanted to come to a club that would give me the oppurtunity to be successful".
Arsenal fans wont be too happy as it seems like many of their players that were instrumental in their success at Highbury & the Emirates now seek big money moves to City.
With reports suggesting that he will be on a six month deal at around £130k a week; well you tend to wonder whether the words 'oppurtunity to be successful' plays a factor..
What are your thoughts, is the aim of getting back into the French squad and being successful with City the main factor for Viera's move to City, or was it all about the mulah baby?

Beckham: "I wish I stayed at Manchester United"
East London's most coveted export, David Beckham, claims he wishes he never left Manchester United as he prepares to return to face the team that moulded him into the global sports star with Milan in the Champions League last 16, in March.
Whilst speaking to BBC radio, Becks highlighted his love for the club and his thoughts on a certain Ryan Giggs' legacy at Old Trafford.
"I'd have loved to have stayed at Manchester United for my whole career and never gone anywhere else but it just wasn't meant to be,".
"It takes a special person and a player to stay at a club for so many years. Ryan's been there for so many years now and he'll be part of Manchester United for life – he's a Manchester boy and it runs through his blood.
Since leaving Manchester United Beckham has played in, Spain, Italy, and the United States....Do you think Victoria had something to do with his fooball decisions?
