The English Football Association have rejected a report that England may enter into a deal with Russia over the 2018 World Cup bid.
Russia are expected to be rivals for 2018 but a report today suggested England may try to do a deal where they would back Russia for Euro 2016 in return for their support for 2018.
An FA spokesman said: 'We totally reject any suggestion that there is a pact with Russia regarding our 2018 World Cup bid.'
