Graham Taylor sums up the FIFA Scumbags nicely on the BBC
Former England manager Graham Taylor also dismissed criticism of the media and said nothing about Fifa surprised him any more.
"I'm just surprised that we're surprised," he said. "Fifa is an organisation that doesn't have to answer to anyone. What did we expect?
"Fifa for me is full of people who say 'yes' to your face and 'no' behind your back. Their reputation has not changed over many years.
"England have had little or no influence. We are considered to be arrogant and know-alls."
He also defended the English media, whose investigations into Fifa have been cited by some people as one of the reasons for the bid's failure.
"I'm not one of those blaming Panorama or the Sunday Times - this has been going on for years," he said.
"I just have a feeling that perhaps, just perhaps, it might now be time... they really need looking into, they should really be investigated - and of course our journalists are very good at that."
Taylor also criticised the decision to give the 2022 World Cup to Qatar, adding on BBC Radio 4's PM programme: "It really is surprising. Where is the heart and soul of football in Qatar? And yet that decision has been made."
