West Bromwich Albion striker Peter Odemwingie feels for England over their World Cup snub from FIFA.
Odemwingie had sympathy with England after the country's own 2018 bid received just two votes.
He said: "It has been a long time since 1966. It (England) is the best footballing nation, super stadiums with a big history. Of course, everyone wanted it here.
"But I think FIFA at the moment has their own agenda.
"They are following some plan which maybe they know better in why they are taking the World Cup for the first time to Africa and then to somewhere else.
"That is the question to them to explain why they want it in countries that maybe are not having the best facilities to host it."
