Klinsmann: 'England should host WC'

Germany legend Jurgen Klinsmann believes that England deserves to host the World Cup finals.

The 48-year-old, who currently coaches the USA national team, says that the Three Lions' history and success should be enough to earn them the rights to host the finals sometime in the future.

"If there is one federation in the world that deserves more than any others to host the World Cup, it would be England," he told FATV.

"The FA is a very special federation because it stands for tradition, for a lot of history and for living and breathing the game day in and day out.

"It stands for being correct and honest and trying to always give it credibility."

England won the 1966 World Cup on home soil.
