B erlin (dpa) – The English musician Sting criticized the award of the World Cup to Russia and regrets the early withdrawal of the German team.

"I'm really sorry that you Germans were released so soon," said the former singer and bassist of the group The Police in an interview in the "Welt am Sonntag".

The 66-year-old man described the controversial price for Russia as questionable and doubtful. "It was a joke, when at some point after the application phase, a man named Putin came in and settled in his favor," Sting said.

He called the FIFA World Football Association corrupt. "That's why I prefer to watch club football.The world championships are too determined by nationalisms." Nevertheless, he continued the tournament as a football lover.

England had reached Saturday after a 2-0 win against Sweden for the first time in 28 years, a World Cup semi-final.
