Kaizero Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 100% the right choice by FIFA, for once. These nations need to do very little to be able to host a tournament compared to Morocco, which would probably need to build five to six stadiums. Also in favour of the US getting 60 matches compared to Mexico/Canadas 20. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also in favour of the US getting 60 matches compared to Mexico/Canadas 20. 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes the nations run at a horrible loss and leaves massive empty ghost stadiums that fall apart. https://www.si.com/planet-futbol/2015/02/02/world-cup-stadiums-brazil-south-africa-fifa-white-elephants Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afar Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 This is great news, fantastic for Canada, first time in ever they'll qualify Hopefully get to see some games if they play in Calgary, would need a new stadium here though, so more likely that if they come to Alberta it'll be Edmonton which is 500 miles away from me.

Kaizero Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I think Morocco were predicting over £4bn profit. Fair point about the legacy. Both Brazil and South Africa predicted profit, they got massive losses - and the cost of arranging a match in one of their stadiums costs more than the team playing their get through ticket sales. It's just not good to give such a massive tournament to a country that doesn't need a massive infrastructure lift. In Brazil's case, that wasn't the stadiums - more the general infrastructure needed to modernize their cities for such an event. It's just how it made no sense for a joing Norway/Sweden Euro bid. Most people into football in both countries (myself included) wants that to happen, but we have no teams that would even fill half of the stadium sizes that would need to exist to host it - after the EC - so even if we'd get an upswing, it'd mean a longtime loss, which is why our politicians scrapped the idea because they are fun ghouls.
