so why should america host it again after 16 years?....its been 44 years since a proper football nation like england hosted it,its not in living memory since uruguay hosted it.....and as for emerging nations i think the aussies would get my vote

instead of making a statement like the one you just did all you did was shit all over America with you biased opinions

Football is the fastest growing sport in Australia and while it will probably never be as big as Rugby League over there, the Aussies are extremely enthusiastic about it and would support it really well. The've never hosted it and a lot of countries haven't in thew last 16 years. USA have had their chance for at least another 10 or 20 years and it would be better going to someone who actually gives a shit, as a nation, about the sport.

I didn't say anything about monopolizing it, I'm saying sign a petition to have a major US city host it.

The way the US national team played this past World Cup is the reason there's so much hype in America about soccer. We want to be the best at everything

Well, there are actually a number of cities in the states that could pull that off The greater Los Angeles area being the first one that comes to mind.

I guess thats true, I didnt think of that

I think they were just poking fun at me because they think I assumed that all the matches are held in one stadium

so los angeles could house hundreds of thousands of people pouring into it for a month?

LA has at least half a dozen stadiums big enough for a football pitch and about 50,000 spectators?

with a population of 9 million, it wouldnt affect it much

[dHXaE2h9]

approximately.....if the countries qualified.....england 30'000...scotland 20'000...germany 25'000....because of the locality. mexico 40'000.....brazil 20'000....argentina 20'000.....90% of the population of ireland....alot of spanish.....alot of french.....thats just the main ones,theres another 10 countries to consider too.....not one city could house that lot

Doesn't look like it actually... there are at least four that could in the greater LA area though, with another 2-3 with capacities of just under 50k. I do know for a fact, however, that the state of California has more than enough though

Texas has more than enough stadiums as well

[xtrslots]

Texas has more than enough stadiums as well

that would mean less travel time for the players
