So does the US have a chance?
Would love to, but apparently not. Looks like it's going to Qatar :(
Have we ever hosted it?

Qatar in 2022. So apparently you can buy the rights to host the World Cup. They do have some cool proposed stadiums though...

With those proposed stadiums I can see why Qatar got it.
This is bs no one want's to go to either of those places
Supposedly they altered their bid after concerns about the heat that they would all be air-conditioned.Quote:

If it were football NFL style I would be outragged.
Ribbon one is dumb
it was all politics. US just isn't popular in world opinion right now.
Those stadiums in Qatar are pretty sweet.
Apparently each stadium in Qatar is going to have the latest in hi-tech cooling systems. Apparently inside the stadiums will be ideal playing conditions. Of course, once you step outside the stadium you'll immediately die of heat stroke.Quote:
