England payback for Thai ‘betrayal’ of World Cup bid

England will withdraw from an international friendly against Thailand after the country’s highest-ranking football boss broke his promise to support their bid for the 2018 World Cup, according to a UK newspaper.

The English Football Association had agreed to play in Bangkok next June, despite the trip to Asia being seen as no benefit to Fabio Capello’s troubled squad, Telegraph Sport reported.
