Here's a couple, 1) Would already be their 3rd and most of any country. 2) Azteca is old, needs major re-model or replacement. 3) Need at least 2 more new stadiums, new Monterrey and Guadalajara stadiums not enough. Good news is several new stadia are already under construction or have plans approved including Cruz Azul's new stadium. It's a good start. 3) Minor but heat and altitude were a small problem the first two times. 4) As host Mexico would be heavily favored and many folks might not want that
^ I've been telling you. Give it to a country that HASN'T hosted. EDIT: Never mind, that was in the D&D.

Jack Warner is about to snitch on Blatter (possibly citing the Onion). http://www.cnn.com/2015/06/04/world/fifa-corruption-jack-warner/
LOOK, man ... it's not easy to read your NICKNAME without thinking 1960's or thinking about Burt Reynolds' nickname in Celebrity Jeopardy. I didn't know the origin until I looked it up before you went to Argentina. But you're cool, though. Back on topic: That would be FUNNIER than "duelling swollys." "Not even that would stop the avalanche." <- what a dummy! Joao Avelange has been gone for a long time! Hahahaha... idiot. :grin:
And the ball keeps rolling: FIFA paid Ireland to not protest famous Thierry Henry handball game. http://www.sbnation.com/soccer/2015/6/4/8729201/fifa-corruption-ireland-france-2010-world-cup-john-delaney Ireland FA chief executive John Delaney says he got paid off to not protest his team getting dumped out of 2010 World Cup qualifying.
This is bizarre and asinine on so many levels. Imagine being an Irish soccer fan knowing that your president took a bribe just so YOU'D keep your mouth shut?? If that's the case, then that money needs to be dispersed evenly among all the Irish supporters. And on top of that, why the **** would the President even admit to that?? He gains nothing other than a seat on the "**** Blatter" bandwagon, which honestly at this point, is a complete non-story. Everybody knows that Blatter & Co. were corrupt scumbags.....coming forward now makes you look like a tool at best, and an equally corrupt scumbag at worst.
Memorable moments Historic break With the thermometer at the Estadio Castelao in Fortaleza showing 32 degrees Celsius and humidity levels at 68 per cent, history was made during the match between the Netherlands and Mexico as referee Pedro Proenca called a time out for a cooling break in the 32nd minute. In none of the 20 previous finals had such a stoppage ever taken place. The players gratefully received drinks, ice and damp cloths to cool themselves down and it had a revitalising effect, as immediately afterwards Mexico increased the pressure and carved out some promising openings. The players were not the only ones taking precautions with the heat though, as messages on the big screens reminded fans to reapply sun cream throughout the proceedings. Proenca also stopped the game in the second half for a few minutes in order to give the protagonists another breather.
^ So. ONE timeout... is... "LOTS"? I don't understand why you copied-n-pasted this "Historic moment"... Lack of timeouts is one of the reasons football isn't "enjoyed" on TV in the U.S., and you know it, man.
