If we're lucky Blatter will have died before anything to do with the 2026 world cup happens and FIFA will meltdown instead

The sooner you extinguish all hopes of Blatter ever dying the better. I'm selfish so I would love to have another World Cup in the US.

I'd not be against the USA having a world cup again. I'm assuming they can't gently caress it up worse than '94, of course, but I suppose anything's possible.

There was clear court and royal enquiry tested evidence that Fox were in breach of the foreign corrupt practices act and the FBI declined to investigate or bring forward charges for prosecution. I doubt something as minor as a no bid contract would make them act if literal bribery of public officials and police didn't. Also alleged complicity in at least 2 murders.

Yeah but now an american corporation might be losing money, which is when the FBI jumps into action.

edit: I don't want america to ever host the world cup again because we get enough of you smelly foreigners as it is.

The problem with USA 94 is they catered to ShitEuros with the noon kickoffs in the fuckin summer, and they had games not on the west coast in humid savage hellholes like texas

It would be the best World Cup in history and '94 would then become the second best World Cup in history.

The sport will be in it's final death throes by then anyway. But what a way to go--in the arms of the most exceptional country to grace God's Earth.

Edit: and the only country to grace God's moon.

If only there was a country that had the best bid going by the evaluations that was in the southern hemisphere and had temperatures equivalent to European spring in July. Wouldn't that be a great place to host a world cup that would get more than zero votes. If only

What if America had the Women's World Cup, and they just held it every year and did a monster truck rally at half-time?

That way Americans could use all of their terrible concrete garbage stadia and the rest of the world could do all of the useful adult things that Americans don't qualify for.
