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

They may not be world powers, but their teams are good enough that they at least are competitive and would qualify for the tournament on their own.
When the other options for 2022 are Qatar, Japan, and South Korea, then I would say that Australia and the U.S. look great in comparison.
So yeah, while Football may not be the most popular sport in either country by a long shot, it is something that is growing in popularity in both countries, they are safe, won't be 110 degrees during the tournament, and didn't host it in 2002.

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

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

Ah, we seem to have a misunderstanding then, your post was a bit confusing.

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