The Netherlands shot themselves in the foot by refusing to bow to FIFA's demands. I wish England was missing out for the same reason... though I can live with it being that our media has been happily pointing out what a bunch of crooks most of FIFA are (and ignore that our PM has happily climbed into bed with them)
I suspect the US has no chance for similar reasons to the Netherlands, though I also wouldn't want it to get the WC as it is too soon since it was last there.

I'm hoping on the Netherlands/Belgium bid for 2018, and Australia for 2022. *NM*

Why would anyone vote for Australia?

Because, out of all the choices for the 2022 Cup, the U.S. and Australia are the best choices

Your opinion that Australia is better than Japan and SK doesn't seem to be based on facts.

Yeah, reading over it again it does seem like that's what I was implying.
