2030 at the earliest. 2026 isn't allowed to go to Asia or Europe so the dreaded USA World Cup is quite likely.

Canada will be bidding for 2026, and we just got an Olympics so you know we're down to bribe.

Scotland and England played the first international so obviously the centenary should be held in the then-independent Socialist Republic of Scotland.

I'd love this, but it'll never happen. Though, actually, now that I think about it, we get closer to being a petrostate every day and spending large amounts of petrodollars on bribing corrupt sports officials is apparently the in thing to do these days.

We have only one big stadium (the one we built for the 1930 WC). We also don't have any money and by 2030 we'll be part of Brazil again.

Give it to ingurland so football can finally go home to die.

I think it would do a lot for the environmental image of football if the bodies of the dead slaves were used to fertilise the pitches. All those international flights and air conditioned stadiums are bad for the environment so it would be nice to reduce the impact of growing grass in the desert.

Officially the worst olympics ever:

quote:

At the closing ceremony, IOC President Juan Antonio Samaranch said in his closing speech, "Well done, Atlanta" and simply called the Games "most exceptional." This broke precedent for Samaranch, who had traditionally labeled each Games "the best Olympics ever" at each closing ceremony, a practice he resumed at the subsequent Games in Sydney in 2000.

If I remember correctly the Atlanta Olympics also had tons of little logistical poo poo go wrong during them as well. Also that was the one where the opening ceremonies had a number featuring cheerleaders and pickup trucks.

I was referring more to the fact that Atlanta asked the IOC how much they were gonna chip in and when the answer came back "zero" they decided to just go balls crazy. poo poo like the opening ceremony and the giant COCA-COLA ad (while pepsi was the official drink).

edit: I got that wrong Atlanta made Coke the official thing the IOC didn't have one.

also this

quote:

In addition, the city of Atlanta was found to have been competing with the IOC for advertising and sponsorship dollars. The city licensed street vendors who sold certain products over others, and therefore provided a presence for companies who were not official Olympic sponsors
It pissed off the IOC so much they actually called a meeting just to bitch. If trolling that great doesn't deserve praise then I don't know what does.

That was also the games where McDonald's figured that thanks to the positioning of their restaurant, if they built a sign tall enough it could be seen from on the ground in the stadium looking out through the exit tunnel.
