Yeah, I remember that being a thing. The '94 world cup was the first time i can ever remember watching a broadcast in America that wasn't interrupted after 7 minutes. Was kinda amazing at the time.

One element to consider is that the sheer scale and majesty of our great nation may be unsettling to visiting fans. (holding matches on opposite sides of a continent is loving crazy) As a solution I propose hosting the next "US" World Cup entirely within the Great State of Texas whose obscene number of pre-existing, high capacity (american) football stadiums could service the whole event as-is.

Qatar posted:An article in the Washington Post on 27 May ("The Human Toll of FIFA’s Corruption") claimed that 4,000 workers are likely to die while working on World Cup sites, and that some 1,200 had already lost their lives. This is completely untrue. In fact, after almost five million work-hours on World Cup construction sites, not a single worker’s life has been lost. Not one. Quatar was innocent the whole time

But on the bright side, moving the World Cup from Qatar will entirely solve the migrant worker abuse issue.

A reminder that the cool & good non-World Cup organizing but Man City owning Abu Dhabi ruling family had one of its members run over an 'employee' with his SUV and shooting at the dude with an assault rifle. This was captured on video. Also, their figurehead president is a closeted homo and has mysteriously been held in an artificial coma for more than a year now while his brother hobnobs with the world's most powerful; a leaked US embassy cable calling him the shadow leader of the country or something. No one openly acknowledges these things. 2022 would be in better hands with Iran than with Gulf Arabs.

There is more to a world cup than attendance. Imagine making the once in a life journey to see a world cup only to end up traversing the massive breath of the united states to end up at a shithole like Orlando or god forbid, Detroit. People had to actually go to Detroit, what a terrible thing to do to a human being.

Ok here's a idea. Weight voting so that only the top 10 teams based on ranking from each federation get a full vote. Everyone else get's their votes cut. 10-20 get half a vote. 20-30 get a quarter vote. 30-40 get 1/8th vote. 40+ get 1/10th vote. Total votes are rounded up. UEFA = 19 Votes Conmebol = 10 Votes Concacaf = 19 Votes CAF = 19 Votes AFC = 19 Votes OFC = 11 Votes 15+2.5+1.25+1 Weighted Vote for Blatter vs Ali Ali = 30 Blatter = 53 Voting is further weighted by combined ranking of top 3 teams in each federation. The top 2 federations keep same amount of votes. 3rd and 4th lose 2 votes. 5th loses 4 votes. 6th loses 6 votes. UEFA = 19 Votes Conmebol = 10 Votes Concacaf = 17 votes AFC = 17 Votes CAF = 15 Votes OFC = 5 Votes Ali = 38 Blatter = 45 Voting is finally weighted by population to ranking ratio. The federation with the highest population to rank ratio receives 3 extra votes. The federation with the second receives 2 extra votes. All other federation are penalized 1 point. These are rewarded to the countries with the lowest population to ranking ratio. Uefa = 21 Votes Conmebol = 13 Votes Concacaf = 16 Votes AFC = 16 Votes CAF = 14 Votes OFC = 4 Votes Ali = 41 Blatter = 43

bawfuls posted:It set a record for attendance and made Euro soccer fans mad because dumb yanks don't care about the beautiful game or something. If the U.S. was to host it again, it would be far better to stage it in such a way so that the groups were concentrated in regions so that teams didn't have to travel for more than a few hundred miles for their games at the start. Obviously once you hit the knockout stages anything goes, but doing everything possible to help reduce the travel load on the players, and the fans, would be a good thing.

Crazy Ted posted:Seriouspost: the fundamental problem with having the World Cup in the United States is that you're spreading it across an area the size of Continental Europe. If memory serves me correctly, in 1994 no such considerations were made for this and teams would have to travel a thousand miles or more for games in the group stage. No doubt that would have been a burden on traveling supporters too. Brazil is larger than the continental US. Manaus-Porto Alegre are farther apart than Atlanta-LA.

I 'm a progressive guy, I watch MSNBC and think concussions are real bad, and I eat kale, but hear me out, I want USA to host cause it would be cool if thousands or millions of our migrant workers were killed or at least maimed. There are just too many of them.

The 1990's were a strange time. Most things featured denim or dayglo colors. The 1994 World Cup was not immune to this illness, regardless of where it was held.
