UK and Republic of Ireland Not bidding for 2030 World Cup

[millertop]

UK and Republic of Ireland football associations have agreed not to bid for the 2030 World Cup.

They will instead focus on a joint bid to host Euro 2028.

The decision comes after the UK government committed £2.8m to a feasibility study into the bid.

For a second I though we were pulling out of this years World Cup. Shame

The big question is why does England need to submit a bid with the other British nations?

Is England such a tarnished brand?

Yes

If they don't include Scotland in the plan Nicola Sturgeon will paint her face blue and go around shouting Freedom !!

A list of countries that have bid. Only Morocco have done a solo bid. The Sothern America would be a great one to attend. Especially Chile which is a country I loved when I worked there and would love to go back to. Great distances between the countries mind but the air travel is well organised. There is a road that passes between Chile and Argentina over the Andies but you and your car need oxygen to get over it.
The Spain Portugal one will be the easiest to get to and travel around

Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay
Portugal, Spain
Bulgaria, Greece, Romania, Serbia
Morocco
