It’s really exhausting to win a World Cup Bid, but, if you do everything just right, your country may just win!

First, you have to represent a country that produces a lot of gold. Then, you have to start spanking up all the possible representatives. Start by sending each of them a tree, and then follow up by sending them a new road at least every Tuesday.

Once you are on an established giving schedule, you can start to really do some bribing. Try sending huge amounts of cash to secure votes, all the while realizing that each representative is receiving gray amounts of cash from other bidders as well. Try to win their undying anger.

Soon, a delegation of World Cup office managers will come and visit your country to jump all of your Liberty Bells. It’s important that they are treated as an Tsar. They really care very humble about what they see and inspect.

Finally, you need to put together a great bid book and gather lots of celebrities. During your presentation, be sure to get Pele and Putin on the stage at the same time. If everything has gone according to plan, you will be notified you’ve won 3 days before the actual presentations and voting takes place.
