O/T 3 Continent, 6 Country World Cup

[BaggieBlood]

Unbelievable decision, and totally out of touch with the current climate (change).

I don't have an objection to 2 countries sharing the burden of building the required, or even 3 at a stretch (like Portugal, Spain and Morocco), but 6 countries is ridiculous.

Having one game in Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay (who are they as the milk drinking scouser would say), is a stupid decision designed to appease the Uruguayans who think they have a divine right to hold the 100 year anniversary wc.

Why not give it to one country, a country who has the infrastructure and wouldn't require expensive white elephants to be built.

A country that gave the beautiful game to the world.

The FA needs to get its act together and get prince Willy and Beckham giving out blowies to high up fifa executives again.

That's the only way it's cumming home.

Scandalous decision and a logistical nightmare for supporters such as yourself who go out of their way to attend the finals. And that's before we look at the cost and environmental issues involved. Still, I dare say Amalfitano and Co. have a nice little pile of brown envelopes to open and occupy their time with though so that's OK then.

Absolutely crazy! How this decision was arrived at is beyond comprehension. It is ridiculous from so many standpoints and does, knowing FIFA’s track record, make you wonder what underhand tactics have been involved.

[DaveP67 is back!]

FIFA are all about the money. This does nothing for the fans.

Rumours are Saudi Arabia are favourites for the 2034 WC.

I wonder how many poor souls are going to lose their lives building their stadiums.

An absolute disgrace if they get it.

That is 2 wc now for recent hosts USA and Spain, we'll never get a fair shake with our bid with Ireland with that oil money sloshing around.
