The should take 2 of Asias slots and give them to oceania, then move Australia back to oceania.

Why? Just move New Zealand to the AFC

He sounds too good to be president of FIFA. Apart from his 'orange card' proposal which won't go down well itf everything else he's said is pretty much bang on the money.

"We need a different Fifa," he said. "More democratic, more respected, which behaves better and which does more."

"More often than ever, matches are being marred by unacceptable scenes of players surrounding and haranguing the referee," he wrote in a document first published in March 2013.

(BBC)

Also, he says all FIFA salaries should be made public, and FIFA presidential candidates should participate in live televised debates. That would fuckin own.

How long until he's bought and becomes corrupt like the rest of them?

God, that's even worse than pretending it wasn't going on.

"Sorry, we abhor slavery, but we've passed the point of no return. The tournament is only 8 years away!"

gently caress it, give 2022 to the US or hell, Australia for all I care.

The Qataris are idiots. What are they doing building the stadiums 8 years before the World Cup anyway? Aren't these things normally done in the last minute?

The best case scenario is them getting close to getting all the stadiums done but at the cost of thousands of lives and FIFA decides to reward the World Cup to America or Germany or something a year or two before the world cup starts.

America would be almost as bad as Qatar. Maybe its time for football to come home.

The world cup in Scotland would be the best world cup ever.

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

By 2026, the USA might actually be able to get to the quarter finals again.

Would like 2030 in Uruguay or England but then i also realised i'll be in my late 40's and it makes me sad.

Hey, maybe at that point you could afford to go the world cup?

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

I unironically believe this.
