It bulls**t how North America will go at least 28 years without hosting a world cup. How is that f**king consistent?

1st of all when one says "north america" he/she means usa...correct. cause when is it the last time anyone heard of Canada hosting the mighty world cup.

Yeah that, and the fact that a country smaller than Connecticut that gets up to 130 DEGREE HEAT will host the friggin cup!! They plan to air condition outdoor stadiums to control the heat. Are you f**king serious?

#1 that's not their priority

#2 Qatar had an edge because it has hosted many FIFA events before, I believe U-20 WC's or something like that, Qatar for all the fun you wanna make of them can host a WC much better than southafrica can

and don't get it twisted, I wanted the WC here though

it's true, I also think North America gets the shaft because the US and Mexico are really the only ones who 1)make a good push/case to host a WC and, 2) have the means necessary to make it happen.

However Mexico has hosted 2 and US 1 and outside those countries the only other country that comes close to being an option is Canada and, well, let's just leave it at that.

I do believe FIFA gives and edge to countries that have never hosted the WC before, Russia and Qatar back up this belief but again that's just my theory. And Asia did such a well job in 02 with two nations you knew they were gonna go back there, and Qatar makes perfect sense for the reasons I posted.

Now my theory would give hope to Venezuela getting that 2026 bid they are pushing for, but I still don't see it as my gut tells me Uruguay will get the 2030 bid for the 100th years of the WC and South America will not get back to back WC's, especially if Venezuela is one of them.

I wouldn't even be shocked if 2026 goes to like Australia or something (totally out of my ass, don't even know if they are making a push but if they aren't the should) I see 2026 going back to Europe or USA may have an outside shot at that too.
