In exchange for the FBI to drop investigations into FIFA?
Be a bit strange if they didn't!When are we having that Europe wide crap? Is that the next Euros?
Don't mind it going back to the Americas, but will this mean 3 host nations getting auto qualification?
Thats a point. Do all the nations hosting Euro champ games get automatic qualification. Have the cities been decided yet?When are we having that Europe wide crap? Is that the next Euros?

Yeah it would, but 3 seems like a lot. Mexico would probably qualify whatever, but I'm surprised the Canucks even have a team, and U! S! A! managed to balls it up this time around.Be a bit strange if they didn't!
I wonder how many members of this website will be alive in 2030.
Good to see FIFA giving the WC to countries/regions who have not hosted the WC before like South Africa, Russia(world's largest nation), Qatar (Middle East) and Canada(world's second largest nation) who will co-host the 2026 WC. After this, the important countries/regions still need to host the WC are China, Australia, South Asia (India/Pakistan/Sri Lanka), South East Asia (Malaysia/Indonesia/Thailand/Vietnam) and North Africa (Morocco/Algeria/Egypt). Some reports say South East Asian countries are planning to bid for the 2034 WC. It will be great if the WC can come to SEA someday but unfortunately most of us will be too old by then. This is why WC should be held every 2 years so that more countries can host the WC.
If you want to know where a WC will be held, you just follow the money. With that in mind, Morocco will never host a WC, unless the other alternative is Burundi.Would have preferred Morocco really, the US had it in 94 and it doesn't seem like a massively popular game over there. Can't argue with the infrastructure though, Morocco have bid and lost 5 times. Got to feel for them. Hope a UK bid is on the cards for 2030.

I thought the issue with that decision had nothing to do with thinking we would win it on home turf, and everything to do with it being such an obviously corrupt and terrible/unjustified decision.
Especially Qatar, I mean, FFS.
