Yes Mexico is not right either, although one of those was when they stepped in for Colombia at the last minute, but Mexico and Germany are footballing nations, the US is not, at least at adult level. | |

Trouble is it's expanded to 48 teams to satisfy all the African and Asian countries who now won't be able to hold it as a result. Also you have to put a bid in to win it which we didnt [Post edited 13 Jun 2018 13:04]

Football is growing massively over there. Say what you want about them but they are the final big country for football to conquer. I say give it to them. | |

The issue is not that we didn't bid, it is that if we do bid we get a humiliating one vote. | |

We've been hearing that since the days of Pele and the New York Cosmos. It will never break the domination of American Football, Basketball and Baseball. | |

Why do need more Asian countries? The ones that already qualify regularly (Japan) are not good enough. And that's with Australia added to their strength. | |

Perhaps i've overestimated the strength of the football market over there but thought they had a reasonable domestic league and massive interest in the big European teams? | |

So the home of American Football gets it's second World Cup in 32 years.. on 13:22 - Jun 13 with 2206 views | TJS | I have no problem with USA and Mexico. I don't think countries that have a virtually non-existent qualification record like Canada deserve to be joint-hosts though (see Qatar also) I'm pretty sure Europe was not eligible for 2026 as I think we are only allowed every third world cup on the new rotation. However if we bid for 2030 I can't see how they could not give it to us unless they are sticking with their pathetic outdated policy of requiring multiple new stadiums. Based on length of time without a tournament I would say Spain (1982) is the only other candidate. [Post edited 13 Jun 2018 13:25]

dunno buts there's lots of countries and they all get a vote each so you have to go with it i'm afraid. Means its unlikely the WC will come back in our lifetimes i would think (certainly mine!). Although against that we are one of the few countries who as it stands could host it on our own (or maybe with Wales and Scotland thrown in). | | | |
