By Dmitriy Rogovitskiy MOSCOW, April 20 (Reuters) - Nothing will stop Russia from hosting the best World Cup in the tournament's history in 2018, FIFA president Sepp Blatter said on a visit to one of the host venues Sochi on Monday. I am proud that Russia is getting ready to host the World Cup," Blatter told the TASS news agency from the southern Russian city. "A lot of this is happening thanks to President Vladimir Putin, but also due to the Sports Minister (Vitaly) Mutko and (Alexei) Sorokin (CEO of the Local Organising Committee). They are a true team and have a wonderful working relationship." Blatter said the 2018 World Cup will be his 10th after more than 40 years working for soccer's world governing body and he expected the finals to be a "wonderful" event.
