He was talking about CONCACAF though. It's supposed to rotate between the different confederations or whatever they call them. I think Mexico is the only other CONCACAF nation that could host the World Cup. Canada maybe?

I honestly don't have too big of a problem with Quatar getting it. The World Cup is a good development tool for smaller nations. Quatar is far and away different from South Africa's economic situation, but it's still going to be a powerful incentive to improve infrastructure and set up more tourism and business.

The only determinate fact is that it's supposed to rotate between a european and a non-european country.


That's also not the case - look at 2010 & 2014.

Time zone doesn't really make sense since S. Korea and Japan co-hosted it in 2002.

Point conceded. Waking up at 3-6am to watch the games was indeed rough on me.

I actually really enjoyed the South Korea/Japan world cup. Wake up early and watch games while finishing homework. Wouldn't work as well now, but still....

The other big stunner to me was that England was eliminated in the first round of voting for the 2018 WC.

Maybe I can get to Russia in 2018 for them...

I'm kind of hoping to meet a Brazilian girl in time for 2014.

Hey now, good for Qatar. Maybe the US should eliminate fan apathy and consider investing in an infrastructure that isn't complete shit? The over-reliance on interstates and domestic air travel likely didn't sit well with foreigners who are used to more efficient systems.

Qatar's presentation was more creative and inspired than that of the USA. The game will expand into a booming market (actually, Qatar should send the USA a thank-you note for that) and the event will be a beacon of globalization (the good kind.)
