Hanneke Sanou doubts the Netherlands will have another attempt to host the football World Cup.

In a bar, in Zurich
Ruud Gullit: Where did we go wrong Guus? I thought it was all in the bag..
Guus Hiddink: Bloody Fifa ..maybe it wasn’t enough after all..
Gullit: What was that, Guus?
Hiddink: Nothing. I’m just saying, perhaps the Belgian input was…insufficient.
Gullit: You think it was the Belgians’ fault? I knew we shouldn’t have gone in with them, they did it on purpose to spite us.. (breaks down)
Hiddink: No, no Ruud, that’s not it. Stop crying. Look at those poor Brits at the next table..
Gullit: It’s David Beckham and prince William!
Hiddink: Yes, and both of them blind drunk. At least we weren’t humiliated like them. Voted out in the first round! (Hiddink can’t repress a snort of derision and prince William shoots him a vicious look)
Prince William: I say, that whole voting thingy wasn’t cricket you know.
Gullit: Did he say cricket?
Hiddink: It means, well never mind what it means. We’re off home.
Gullit: Again! (Breaks down afresh)
Hiddink: Cheer up, there’s always 2026
Two Chinese businessmen are seen entering the bar. They are sporting a linen bag with a FIFA logo.
Hiddink: Or not.
