hmm..would be a tad odd if england got the world cup so recently after hosting the olympic games..but they are ahead of the game in regards to infrastructure, stadiums, transportation and ease of distance between venues..

if any arab country (besides lets say egypt) ever hosts the world cup ill cry myself to sleep lol

that would be amazing.

[tashakor]

Iran can bid...they probably won't be considered though

Can you believe that....Iran not being considered!! Some people would kill themselves to play in Malavan's stadium.

Qatar? The actual World Cup trophy is bigger than Qatar.

I can only imagine Luxembourgs WC record..

W-0 D-0 L-3 GF-1 GA-16 lol

[EKBATAN]

places like Australia, Canada and Russia would be interesting....i dont think they've ever hosted and they're pretty up to date as far as technology and infrastructure


Qatar & Iran - No way in Hell

Mexico - Not safe enough

England & US - have already hosted, although i would love it in US

China - too big, crowded and bad food

Joint ventures - Not cool...i prefer world cup in 1 country

canada hosted the fifa u-20 world cup and did a good job..im curious to see which stadium they would expand to 80,000 (probably the BC Lions stadium) or if they would build a new one..but i think canada is particularly interested in hosting the olympics over the wc in the future...

russia also have not hosted a WC but the country is so darn big they would have to have the venues close to eachother...(some areas might be too cold)

[Nariman]

Germany again would be perfect!!

Germany is safe,organized and modern!!

Also it would be perfect for me

england already has it in the bag and fifa knows it. Its only logical with the world class stadia on offer. It would be ludicrous to have it china, austrailia - countries with no footballing prestige.

also it would mean the ressurection of this old classic - great tune even though i dont particularly support england.

russia is big size wise but i believe all their major cities are towards the eastern side, near europe so i dont think they'll have a problem holding them close to each other

you mean western side right. Yeah most of the west is uninhabited and most of their population is to the west of the ural mountains and it wont be that cold its gonna be summer so i think they could hold it.

^^^ right, i meant western
