  1. All of CONMEBOL and CONCACAF would presumably vote for it, have to think a lot of other associations would too just for the anniversary aspect.
  2. Add Chile and maybe Paraguay. Both have been considering it.
  3. West Coast WC would be cool. San Diego, LA, San Francisco, Sacramento, Portland, Seattle.
  4. In all likelihood that would just cement it rotating between North America and Europe. Maybe. Other countries could also prepare better, knowing they wouldn’t be shoehorned into bidding in only certain years.
  5. The fact remains that there are few countries capable of hosting a World Cup. I’d be fine if it rotated to UEFA every 8 years, since Europe does have the highest number of potential hosts. Maybe the best idea would be to scrap the confederation rotations all together and just award it to the best bid.
  6. Don't think that's going to happen. Read something earlier that it's still to be agreed if they need to qualify or not. Might be able to use up the 2.5 places or something. Gonna be laughs when we don’t qualify for the fucker
  7. It’ll go back to where it was first hosted. Joint Uruguay-Argentina bid already in the works, with maybe Chile joining in too. Edit: point made
  8. Not sure why that is so important really, who cares how many stadiums they need to build? Assume it means less profit for FIFA, which is probably a major reason. I think it's a good choice but I don't really get why people assume the WC should just go to the country who is already the most established. It’s a tough one, because those who are already established also generally carry the least baggage. But you do want to see new places get a shot. And there aren’t too many places that fit the bill. But I do think Morocco is one of those places.
  9. still gonna be starting Howard in goal
  10. 3 in Canada (Edmonton, Toronto, Montreal) 3 in Mexico (Mexico, Monterrey and Guadalajara) Loads in America (all over) Don't really get why US invited the other two, seems a bit pointless. They might not have won it flying solo. At least it would’ve been easier to vote against.
  11. It’ll be U.S.-heavy, of course. Canada doesn’t have the stadium infrastructure and Mexico’s a little dicey in parts. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_stadiums_in_Canada Doesn't look too bad. They have a good few smaller stadiums that are nice. Seems they’re planning to host at BMO in Toronto, which is much nicer than Rogers Centre, and the one in Edmonton seems decent enough. Olympic Stadium in Montreal is a dump.
  12. It’ll be U.S.-heavy, of course. Canada doesn’t have the stadium infrastructure and Mexico’s a little dicey in parts.
  13. The first two I’ll grant you, the time zone whine is precious, and the last is nonsense. By all accounts the ‘94 tournament was wildly successful and the game’s only grown since then. This will easily be the most attended and lucrative tournament yet. And you’re discounting Canada as a first-time host and Mexico, a country with an unquestionable footballing culture.
  14. Preparing to offload players like we’ve already got a deep squad.

  16. Europe. He means that when the time comes for Europe to get a WC, the competition between nations capable of hosting it is much harder than when they look at North America, where there's essentially just two. Canada couldn't host it alone, I think. *stifler klaxon* They’d have to invest heavily in stadium upgrades.
  17. Be in a shittier confederation with fewer capable hosts, brah It was mostly a reaction to those above hoping we don’t get it. I’ve said before I’m pulling for Morocco. Also as a fuck you to Trump.
  18. I hope Morocco wins it. Fuck off with yer 3 way world cup. Especially as Mexico has held it twice since we have had it . Pretty bummed that America is wasting it's shoe-in bid on a joint-bid that will surely fall flat. The only reason I hope we’d win it is just to stick it to the English who’ve been gasping to host it again. Otherwise I hope Morocco wins it. That’d be a class tournament.

    Let’s hope they table a rock-solid bid.
  20. Tbf Vela was persona non grata from the national team for years
