Because, out of all the choices for the 2022 Cup, the U.S. and Australia are the best choices Brian Send a noteboard - 01/12/2010 06:32:08 PM
They may not be world powers, but their teams are good enough that they at least are competitive and would qualify for the tournament on their own.

When the other options for 2022 are Qatar, Japan, and South Korea, then I would say that Australia and the U.S. look great in comparison.

So yeah, while Football may not be the most popular sport in either country by a long shot, it is something that is growing in popularity in both countries, they are safe, won't be 110 degrees during the tournament, and didn't host it in 2002.

Why would you say that? - 01/12/2010 07:48:42 PM 469 Views
Because they just hosted it in 2002. - 01/12/2010 08:54:16 PM 619 Views
Your opinion that Australia is better than Japan and SK doesn't seem to be based on facts. - 01/12/2010 07:59:14 PM 429 Views
It's based on reality - 01/12/2010 09:13:20 PM 655 Views
