The man in charge of the World Cup has given England his advice on its 2018 bid.
2010 Organizing Committee chief executive Danny Jordaan said on Thursday that Englands bid bosses should work hard during this years World Cup, go and watch their team, and then try and convince the people that need convincing.
South Africa was awarded the World Cup after failing in its initial bid to host the 2006 tournament.
Jordaan added that it makes sense for 2018 to be a Europe-only affair.
England faces competition from Australia, Japan, the United States, Russia and joint bids from Belgium and the Netherlands, and Portugal and Spain.
The 2018 host will be chosen by FIFA in December.
