Village Idiot Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Belgium-Netherlands are "medium risk"? How so? Honestly rather you got it than Russia. Still torn about us doing this with Portugal. But I really hope it's not Russia. Don't Russia have crazy VISA laws? Aye. Also transportation would be a nightmare (huge ass country) and I really want to try to attend the 2018 WC since it will be held in Europe. Plus their fans are cunts.

But I really hope it's not Russia. Don't Russia have crazy VISA laws? They do, they're about £100 n all, but they waived them for the Champions League final so they might do that again. UK - Russia relations aren't great on that front either so we get a raw deal compared to others n all IIRC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizero Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 England '18 and US '22 please. No Russia or Qatar, fuck Russia and Qatar. It'll no doubt end up being Russia and Qatar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Guessing America would be best for kick off times for 2022 apart from that not arsed. Should probably go to the Aussies though since USA held it recently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were to start at night, it would inconvenient for Euros, especially on the Western Coast. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Been studying US 94 and how it launched the MLS for Uni Work. World Cup 2010 seems to have boosted popularity of football over there, can only imagine what another World Cup could do for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be massive, especially as the current young generation is not looking down on "soccer" and the MLS average attendances are getting higher season after season.

oldtype Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 I can visit you guys in 2018, you can come to Korea in 2022. Perfect arrangement Nobody around here thinks we have an ice cube's chance in hell of winning the bid. Would be astounding if we did just for the sheer WTF factor.

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Given the blatant corruption and match-fixing that proliferated WC 2002, I would be surprised if FIFA ventured to either part of Korea in the near future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ameritoon Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 With the Warner/Blatter/Platini axis of hate towards England along with FIFA probably being tentative about two largely English speaking countries hosting it in a row, I wouldn't be surprised if England somehow manage to fail to get this.

Cronky Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 I'm not confident that the whole decision-making process is fair and transparent. There a lot of talk about deals and politicking, and I can see England losing out. I know that's going to sound like a holier-than-thou Englishman, and the accusations against other countries that have been made in the British press have probably done us more harm than good. However, although we’re not perfect, corruption isn’t the same problem in Britain that it is in most other countries. I think Russia will get the vote.

But I really hope it's not Russia. I agree, didn't the Russian police absolutely kill the pre-match atmosphere between Chelsea and Man u with ott harsh policing ? I can imagine it being the dullest world cup ever if they host it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
