反正俄羅斯就是說他們也要角逐舉辦權，最大的敵人是英格蘭。
MOSCOW, October 9 (RIA Novosti) - Russia officially launched on Friday its
bid to host either the 2018 or 2022 FIFA World Cup.
"We are a society of sport fans, where no single sport is more universally
revered and passionately pursued than football," an English language
statement on the organizing committee's website said.

Russia's main rival is likely to be England, which has not hosted a World Cup
