Bobby;3662059 said:What a mess. Any of the other bids were better.
ShiftyPowers;3662465 said:Yeah, but that was 28 years ago, before a majority of the actual players in 2022 would have even been born. Plus, the US still has the most potential for growth of the game aside from China and India which are completely untapped. I'd be fine with having it in Australia, but it only has ~25 million people and only 5 cities with over 1,000,000 inhabitants (making the construction of stadiums awkward if following the max 2 in a city rule). By contrast the United States is the third most populous nation on earth with the facilities already in place for the most part. If we're talking about the best possible host for a World Cup, the US is probably in the top 2 or 3 with England and maybe somewhere else like Germany or Italy.

lol, yes! actually, since NM only have one stadium, I'd say dump 'em ... announce that Toyota Stadium (Frisco) will be expanded, and call it Texas 2022 ...Bobby;3662679 said:Texas-New Mexico 2022.

Alex;3662890 said:Australia have also shown, with the Sydney Olympics, how well we can put on an event of this scale. The Atlanta Olympics were terrible in comparison.
ShiftyPowers;3662944 said:The Atlanta Olympics were "terrible" because of a terrorist attack. They were great in all other aspects. World Cups aren't held in single cities, so you couldn't have someone targeting a centralized place like the Olympic Village or wherever the Atlanta bombing was.
