SOUTH KOREA!!!!! I don't think I got any sleep that whole month in 2002.
oh, and LOL Spain, LOL Italy
The World'S Finest already mentioned it in the US MNT topic, but I thought it would be a good idea to have a separate thread.

US has it locked up.
What cities in Texas would hold matches in 2022 if it was held in the USA? Im assuming Houston with Reliant Stadium and Dallas with Cowboys Stadium?
Definitely Jerry World, maybe Reliant. I went to a couple of matches in 94 at the Cotton Bowl, including the quarter finals between Holland and Brazil.
I'd go as far as to say that Dallas could potentially hold the final.
Dallas and Houston are part of the cities in the bid.
I think the cities will be
Houston
Dallas
NYC-NJ
Miami
LA
Phoenix
Philly
DC
Only issue i see is that the sick stadiums in those cities will be old by 2012
I hope it will be the U.S
Because I live in Canada, so I wont have to travel overseas for a WC
I lived in France during the 98 WC; no need to travel, it was great
2014 WC in Brazil, 2018 or 2022 in USA hopefully
lol australia 50m to bid for the 2022 games, when they couldnt even get a deal done with the local sports authority to give them access to the bigger stadiums and stopping some of the games other sports game just for 1month....if this bid fails, there be alot of immigrants pissed cause its mainly there money and they the ones building the code up down here....the red necks only watch the game when the national side is playing...
US would be great....I wouldn't lose any sleep + I'd get a chance for some tix

2022 Contenders
Qatar: 4/6 Favorite
It's been said that Qatar has played a beautiful political game (though NewsFeed once again stresses that any allegations of 'vote-trading' with Spain/Portugal have been denied). The Unique Selling Point is, of course, that the World Cup has never been held in an Arab country and Qatar's intention to build stadia that can be dismantled and used in countries with poor infrastructure is a vote winner if ever we saw one. But the fact that these same facilities haven't been built in addition to the searing daytime heat (the FIFA report said it poses "a potential health risk for players, officials, the FIFA family and spectators") may count against the bid as well as the fact that this tiny country is only the size of Connecticut
U.S: 5/2
Despite holding the World Cup relatively recently -- 1994 -- the U.S. continues to show tangible evidence at home that the sport is moving in the right direction. Not only is the MLS a legitimate league, with some terrific foreign imports and stadia ready to roll, but American fans bought up more tickets to the 2010 World Cup than anyone else, save for the South African hosts. But it would be quite the coup to be given a second World Cup in such a short space of time, despite the impressive efforts of former President Bill Clinton to persuade FIFA otherwise.
Australia: 5/2
Australia remains the only continent to have never hosted a World Cup. Its people are undoubted sporting fanatics, the past decade saw an Olympics and Rugby World Cup on its shores and 75% of the stadiums have been built. Going against the Aussies is the brutal time difference in regard to the always lucrative European audience and any awarding of the bid could mean that, from a geographical perspective, China would lose out in 2026 and FIFA is known to want to hold the tournament there sooner rather than later.
Japan: 33/1 and South Korea: 40/1
Though separate bids this time around -- they jointly hosted the 2002 World Cup -- the Asian nations can be considered extreme long shots due to holding such a recent tournament. Full kudos to the South Koreans, however, for promising to include a North Korean host city. Good luck with that.
I'd be pretty shocked if Quatar got it to be quite honest.
