And potentially 16 worse sides to be added going in to future World Cups.
Why can’t FIFA just do a World Cup Equivolent for nations who are piss poor? Cricket and Rugby do it

I agree 100%Originally Posted by Notts78
It is supposed to be the pinnacle of the best, for the title.
But as Navy says, politics and satisfying the 3rd world takes priority over purity.
Every game, could be an entertainment fest. Instead, you have to endure this **** for a world cup opener.

The Canada /USA/Mexico World cup is a joke, only Mexico have football as their national sport. We'll have three host nations who qualify automatically and two will be crap.

I thought the Ref was really good yesterday. Let's hope that t**t we had to endure at Chaventry was taking notes.

So which one will be in the opening game as host ? Will all 3 be seeded in the group stage meaning possibly 3 easy groups ?
so many questions in this strange choice, but i guess money talks
Hall Of Fame
USA - who don't even call it football - gets to host the World cup twice in 32 years, England - the home of football - doesn't get to host it in 60 years and counting.

USA have won more games, scored more goals (twice as many) and have advanced further (one tournament) than England at the last 2 tournaments. (EDIT, NOT that that means they should host it again, that's simply FIFA trying to promote it so they can get their grubby mitts on more money)
To everyone moaning, a World Cup without crap Asian/Central American teams would be dull and wouldn't really be a World Cup. It's been like that since I was a kid.
Plenty of places for Europe. The Italians and Dutch had every chance to qualify and have only themselves to blame for neither of them getting past Sweden. Italy drew at home with Macedonia, who are lower ranked than the Saudis.

If Iceland can qualify from Europe, no-one can moan. As for the location, I would rather just Canada had it, whether they have an interest or not, because I like the country and the people and having one country gives the tournament more character. Europe wasn't considered for this one anyway because they are having one now, in case no-one had noticed.
Which brings me onto. Spain 3 Portugal 3. Not too bad, was it? I once used to argue that Rooney was better than Ronaldo when they were both at Man United. It seems a ridiculous argument now.

"I would rather just Canada had it, whether they have an interest or not, because I like the country and the people"......so judging by this pearl of wisdom from Bohinen, Tarkers votes for the Falklands Islands next World Cup .....don't worry about the infrastructure or the lack of crowds....I like the Falklanders....they deserve to have the World Cup

You could say the same of the FA Cup but people seem to enjoy the prospect of an upset.
