As an American with a baseball avatar, I think the world should just divide into conferences and divisions, play 500 games a year and then go to playoffs and a true World Series of Soccerball. This is the correct, baseball way. Play ball!

I'm an insufferable shitposter who does not deserve to root for such a good team. Also, this is what Matt Harvey thinks of me and my garbage posting.
This is a lot of posts to confirm that the UK is a sub optimal host country for the WC and England alone simply doesn't have the facilities to do it unless more then a few buildings undergo major renovations to increase their capacity.

The best option for FIFA to move the 2022 WC to a 1st world nation that does not need to spend a dime to create or improve adequate playing facilities the USA is the obvious choice.

Also we saved football.

As an American who sees things that are intuitively obvious to the most casual observer you should probably hire a guy to keep time so the ends of every single game arent ruined and host the games outside of sand people territory.

quote:

The 2022 World Cup could be hosted by the United States as an alternative to Qatar, according to England Football Association chairman Greg Dyke.

...

Dyke told ITV's Good Morning Britain: "The Swiss authorities are now looking at the awarding of the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.

"If you've read all the journalism around it, you'd certainly have doubts about the Qatar World Cup.

"If that is shown to be true and they can demonstrate that there was corruption then of course it should be rebid."

Asked if England would put themselves in the running, Dyke said: "I think it would be pretty certain it wouldn't come to Europe -- you wouldn't have two successive World Cups in Europe.

"So I would say it would be most likely to go to America, who were the runners up."

It's coming home.

Obviously soccer specific. A country of 300m people that can't find enough demand for a single 30k football stadium is not in any way an ideal world cup host.

We had pretty good attendance the last time we hosted, when the sport was far less popular in the US. Obviously we don't have any 30k+ soccer only stadiums, but then, we don't have a lot of soccer only stadiums anyway and a lot of our stadiums are mixed-use or easily convertible.

Most of the MLS have their own stadiums now. They're just not huge. I think the only people who still play in baseball stadiums* are DC United and NYC FC, but they're both getting their own stadiums.
