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.

I'm hoping on the Netherlands/Belgium bid for 2018, and Australia for 2022. *NM* Great Lord of Chaos - 01/12/2010 02:35:39 AM 209 Views

You do realize Mexico has hosted not one, but two World Cups, right? *NM* Legolas - 01/12/2010 07:56:35 PM 226 Views
Yes Brian - 01/12/2010 09:08:44 PM 562 Views
Maybe your view in the US is a bit tainted. Legolas - 01/12/2010 10:18:20 PM 563 Views

Why would you say that? BlackAdder - 01/12/2010 07:48:42 PM 473 Views
Because they just hosted it in 2002. Brian - 01/12/2010 08:54:16 PM 624 Views
Your opinion that Australia is better than Japan and SK doesn't seem to be based on facts. Legolas - 01/12/2010 07:59:14 PM 432 Views
It's based on reality Brian - 01/12/2010 09:13:20 PM 660 Views
Ah, we seem to have a misunderstanding then, your post was a bit confusing. Legolas - 01/12/2010 10:21:08 PM 442 Views
Yeah, reading over it again it does seem like that's what I was implying. Brian - 01/12/2010 10:39:38 PM 580 Views
