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)

Yeah, it's pretty shitty that they're reluctant to give the tournament to them because of the media. When they announced the candidates I was really excited about the options, because I'd love to go to England to see some of the games.

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 can agree with that. The one thing I will say about the U.S. and the tournament is that it's about time for the CONCACEF region to get another World Cup, and the U.S. is pretty much the only suitable location in the region. If Mexico or any of the other CONCACEF nations ever get their shit together enough to be able to handle one, they should definitely be awarded one.

I can't help but be selfish and want it here in the States, because....well I'd love to be able to see a number of games in person and not have to travel out of the country.

I'm hoping on the Netherlands/Belgium bid for 2018, and Australia for 2022. *NM* Great Lord of Chaos - 01/12/2010 02:35:39 AM 255 Views

You do realize Mexico has hosted not one, but two World Cups, right? *NM* Legolas - 01/12/2010 07:56:35 PM 278 Views
Yes Brian - 01/12/2010 09:08:44 PM 683 Views
Maybe your view in the US is a bit tainted. Legolas - 01/12/2010 10:18:20 PM 692 Views

Why would anyone vote for Australia? Dragonsoul - 01/12/2010 06:03:15 PM 568 Views
Because, out of all the choices for the 2022 Cup, the U.S. and Australia are the best choices Brian - 01/12/2010 06:32:08 PM 580 Views
Why would you say that? BlackAdder - 01/12/2010 07:48:42 PM 594 Views
Because they just hosted it in 2002. Brian - 01/12/2010 08:54:16 PM 746 Views
Your opinion that Australia is better than Japan and SK doesn't seem to be based on facts. Legolas - 01/12/2010 07:59:14 PM 544 Views
It's based on reality Brian - 01/12/2010 09:13:20 PM 754 Views
Ah, we seem to have a misunderstanding then, your post was a bit confusing. Legolas - 01/12/2010 10:21:08 PM 558 Views
Yeah, reading over it again it does seem like that's what I was implying. Brian - 01/12/2010 10:39:38 PM 697 Views

I'll admit, I came on a bit strong in that post Colonel Logain - 02/12/2010 07:30:21 AM 564 Views
