    FIFA Delegation for USA World Cup 2018 or 2022 bid coming today.

    José de Jesús Ortiz's blog
    Ching Likes Houston's Chances, gives praise to Reliant Stadium

    Blog in Spanish I read before the one in English: Delegación de FIFA viene a Houston en visita crucial para aspiraciones mundialistas

    :eek: I personally would like the WORLD CUP in the U.S.A. in 2022 because it seems like it is already on its way to shared European hosts, and 22... ♪ is a magic number...

    It seems like it's a fairly obvious choice to give one of the 2 to the US. Nothing has to be done to be ready. All infrastructure is in place. All stadiums are in place. No government funding would be necessary. It would be the biggest ever and probably the most profitable ever. 2022 is very very likely.

    I still think it's going to be England in 2018. The founders of the game have only hosted once and it was in 1966. It's time for them to get another shot.

    :eek: I agree with ^ IronMan here. Sad, but tr... no, :grin: funny 'cuz it's true.

    I tell you, 22 = 2 x 11 (men on the pitch) . Trust me.

    I thought Fifa chooses countries, not cities?

    Win the bid to host or win the actual Cup? I think they'll win the bid.

    Can't really say how they'll do at a Cup they might be hosting 8 years from now...though they have won the Cup 100% of the time they've hosted one.

    I believe they will not get it. I also believe they will not win the Cup.

    Currently, it's for either 2018 or 2022. Likely, they'll drop out of the 2018 race soon as it's going to Europe.
