Nobody Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Since Russia is barely Europe IMO (and it's a country I don't fancy going to), it'll be at least 24 years until a WC is hosted in Europe, and if it goes to Uruguay/Argentina in 2030, it'll be 28 years. I turned 18 during the Germany World Cup, but obviously didn't have a chance of going, the next chance I'll likely have without it costing a fortune will be when I'm 46 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbnufc Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Didn't realise that they'd already made some announcements with regards to the bid. Saying that the final would be at the met life, and the semis in ATL and DFW. Met Life is so bleh. In bumblefuck New Jersey with nothing around it. Such a flaccid WC final venue. Makes sense for european times Can't have a world cup final starting at like 4am in the UK/mainland europe ffs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I mean, if the WC final was on the west coast, it would inevitably be at about 1pm local time, 3pm east coast, 8pm UK time, 9pm central european. It'd be ideal. Fuck asia. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubaricho Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I'll be up in Montreal for this one for sure. It'll be insane. I was there when France won the WC and the place went off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Going to be laughs if Concacaf gets their 6 slots in addition to US/Mex/Can being automatic entrants. You'd be looking at Costa Rica, Panama, Honduras, Trinidad & Tobago, Guatemala and... Haiti? Jamaica? 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t matter where it is, prices will go up. I think the airlines will throw up the transatlantic fares to about £1k for the month of the World Cup. If England were hosting it then a train ticket from Newcastle to London would probably cost £300-£400. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixx Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 No matter how I look at it, a WC in three massive countries at once sounds woeful. Just really uninspiring. Come to think of it, the idea of Canada alone hosting a World Cup actually sounds kind of better If were going to have three countries jointly hosting the WC, something like Sweden/Denmark/Norway would make more sense or a West African WC of some type.

They don’t have the stadiums needed to do it. They probably only have 2-3 stadiums big enough. Even BMO field which is one of the main soccer stadiums holds only about 30k and will need a temporary extension for this World Cup. Some of the teams who will be playing in the CPL (Canadian Premier League) when it launches next year will be playing in 5k-7k pop up stadiums.

Geordie_once_removed Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Perhaps said already. But this decision really does highlight even more, if that was possible, the ridiculousness of Qatar hosting the World Cup on its own. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

An England bid would be London centric, maybe with Manchester having 2 host stadiums as well. Doing this way may help them spread it out a bit more.

loki679 Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Hope China gets the next asian one. The infrastructure is already in place and they'd have no problem building whatever else is needed. Would be an awesome WC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
