It doesn't change the fact that Mexico's current reputation is that of a corrupt, dirty, poverty ridden, crime filled country. I can't imagine that FIFA would believe that they would be able to convince droves of people to travel there right now.
The reality of the situation may not match the image, for all I know, Brazil is a more poor, corrupt, and crime filled place than Mexico, and they just got the tournament. The problem is that when people think of Brazil they think of beaches, a giant statue, and parties, when people think of Mexico they think of crime and corruption.

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.
