The design of Estadio La Peineta (the would-have-been olympic stadium of Madrid) has been slightly changed. The stadium is going to be built without and athletics track and owned by Átlético de Madrid after the agreement reached with the city council, and the club expects to be playing there by the 2012/13 season. The capacity will be for 73,000 spectators.

The club seems to be confident the stadium would be included in the World Cup (I don't know it it would be possible to have two stadia in Lisbon and another two in Madrid), and they say they've been promised a Champions League final by Platini

Personally, I don't like the idea of two nations hosting a WC. Japan/Korea's WC edition, IMO, was an attempt to show something new. And, IMO, it failed. If you had no explanations from press to follow the matches, you could not know which country the teams were playing in. Do you really remember the hosting cities and their stadia? I remeber just one.
The same thing applies to Eastern people. Portugal and Spain look all the same for them, as they look like for us.
However, I think this would be a good solution to cover the ever increasing costs of sports events. Someone must turn on the red light and explain the International Federations that they will have to stablish a limit in investments. I can't see events going very much ahead with such expenses.
Portugal alone would never host a WC. Spain hosted one in 1982 - a very sucssesful unforgetable one and, just because of that, maybe it is too soon to bid again.
But, anyway, good luck.

Has Madrid given the SOG dream up? If not, why don't keep the tracks for atlethes in La Peineta?

If Madrid ever hosts the SOGs or the IAAF World Champs the stadium can be reconfigured to add a temporary track for athletics, it is contemplated in the design, though the capacity would have to be be lowered to 66,000 in that case.

Ok, thanks, Troupw for replying. Although, as a Brazilian, being a Rio bid supporter, I have to tell you Madrid was my second choice.

It's inspired in the painting style of Joan Miró and José de Guimaraes, that has been repeatedly used to promote both countries.

Re La Peinete, so even at 73,000, the most they could hope for in a World Cup is a semi-final since FIFA requires 80,000 for a final...which would mean that goes to Barcelona for the finals? Or does Madrid have another larger stadium?

The Santiago Bernabéu, Real Madrid's stadium, has a capacity of 80,000 and it already hosted the 1982 final. Barcelona's Camp Nou is bigger (98,000).
