FIFA official Harold Mayne-Nicholls said that England's fizzled offered to have the 2018 World Cup was by a long shot the strongest contender.
"How could England have just got two votes? It was an enormous astonishment," Mayne-Nicholls was cited as saying in The Sunday Times.
The 53-year-old, a previous Chilean football federation president, was executive of a FIFA gathering tasked with evaluating the quality and practicality of the different offers for the 2018 and 2022 World Cup finals.
Having gone to every one of the 11 nations offering, Mayne-Nicholls inferred that England had the best base and open association, essential aspects of any fruitful offer.
The offer, then again, got only two votes from a conceivable 22 with Russia winning the right to have the 2018 competition. Qatar secured the 2022 Cup.
"England was on the top. They had the best idea, the best base and the individuals were all that much included," said Mayne-Nicholls
"I was there and I saw the characteristics of Prince William and David Beckham, and they were stunned.
It's similar to when you are a first division group and you play a third division group and you lose by five objectives," he said.
Mayne-Nicholls has formerly raised worries about Qatar, whose offer was the stand out marked as high hazard by the assessment advisory group, because of the singing hotness.
He again scrutinized the logistical issues raised by facilitating the competition in one city and said the vehicle and framework would not have the capacity to adapt to the storm of fans rushing to the competition.
