Russian official: England bid 'primitive' • The English are afraid of how badly it's going, claims Koloskov• Complaint against Russia 'has little chance of success'The honorary president of the Russian Football Union has described England's 2018 bid team's behaviour as "absolutely primitive" as the war of words between the two countries escalated today. Vyacheslav Koloskov also told the Russian website championat.ru that a complaint by England's bid team to Fifa about comments by the head of the Russian bid was a sign of "nervousness".Koloskov, a former member of Fifa's and Uefa's executive committees, was reported as saying: "It's a comical situation. The English are afraid of how badly their bid is going. Their journalists are provoking members of the committee, and they now say one of the members of our bidding team has spoken out against England in an improper manner."I think it's a raising of tensions, and also an attempt to in some way influence the work of our bidding team. These acts have little chance of success. Russia should not be afraid of sanctions. There won't even be an investigation."English bid officials complained to Fifa after the head of the Russian bid, Alexei Sorokin was reported to have described London as a city with high crime rate and high alcohol consumption among its youth.Earlier today, Sorokin said he had sent a letter to England's bid team to explain the comments and put to rest "any misunderstanding" between the rivals, but he refused to apologise.World Cup 2018Football politicsguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds guardian.co.uk |
