stryker Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 With FIFA rotating the World Cup who do you think will be the next Asian host after the 2002 World Cup co-hosted by South Korea and Japan. All signs seem to point to China especially if China is successful with the 2008 Olympics. China has recently constructed a number of state-of-the-art stadiums and that does not include the new 100,000 seat Olympic Stadium in Beijing. Also, China will host the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup so it's obvious that FIFA believes China can host a major soccer tourney even if the women's tourney isn't on as grand a scale as the men's. The only other country that I can see hosting the World Cup out of that region is Australia. OK, I know Australia isn't part of Asia, but it's in that same vicinity sort of. Australia hosted a very successful Rugby World Cup in 2003 and let's not forget the 2000 Sydney Games. If New Zealand could ever build some new stadiums I could see New Zealand co-hosting with Australia much like South Korea and Japan did. Regardless, I'd be willing to bet money that it's only a matter of time before Australia and China each get a turn at hosting the FIFA World Cup.

baron-pierreIV Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 As I said, dunderhead-mikel, the World Cup will return to Asia or Australia in either 2022 or 2026, after the US in 2018. Doncha get it? 2006 - Europe 2010 - Africa 2014 - So. America 2018 - 24 years since 1994, so back to No. America 2022 - 20 years since Korea/Japan - so back to Asia 2026 - 20 years since Germany, so Europe again? Gee, it's as simple as that, knucklehead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikel Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 2018 - 24 years since 1994, so back to No. America So: GO CANADA 2018!!! or, if you prefer, GO MEXICO 2018!!! Baron, you have to understand that North America isn't only the USA, and if you think so then you will have to wait at least 40 years between two World Cups in the USA, capicci? PD.

WHy should they award a global event to a country whose team will only get in there because of its host status, play 3 games then disappear? Duh! Mexico has had its 2x and is in no physical state to stage a 3rd time. Duh. It DOESN'T even have a Mexican company as one of FIFA's worldwide partners. Of the 14 FIFA Partners this year, 7 are American companies. Obviously, mikel, you will never hold an IOC or a FIFA position. And you can stay as stupid as you like...or not.

Sir Rols Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 The only other country that I can see hosting the World Cup out of that region is Australia. OK, I know Australia isn't part of Asia, but it's in that same vicinity sort of. Actually, as far as FIFA is concerned, from the moment Germany 2006 ends, Australia IS part of the Asian Confederation. Whatever, I'm not holding my breath for an Australian hosting soon. China will almost certainly be the next Asian host, Aussie hopes and pretentions or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baron-pierreIV Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Australia's just as bad as Canada. #1 - They're smaller. #2 - They can hardly get into the World Cup. #3 - After 2 Southern Hemishpere WCs in 2010 and 2014, I don't think a 3rd s.h. WC will happen until 2030 at the earliest. So I would rule Australia out for the next 2 decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baron-pierreIV Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Nope. I'll speak when I feel I am right. And mikel, who gets it right some of the time, just plays xenophobic dumb when he wants to. I am also so tired of people knocking the US when it has done more good than bad for the world and the Olympic movement -- but not tired enough to let unwarranted and unjustified criticism, go unanswered. Sometimes you really wonder how this Spaniard is going to become a credible diplomat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see in 2011, you think it will be the USA's turn but I think it will be Europe's turn again (Because obviously AMERICA will host in 2014!!! and there isn't a rotation like this: - Europe - Other - Southamerica - USA (You say Northamerica, but otherwise it's the same... because the USA can't and won't host each 16 years!!!))

Sir Rols Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 After 2 Southern Hemishpere WCs in 2010 and 2014, I don't think a 3rd s.h. WC will happen until 2030 at the earliest. So I would rule Australia out for the next 2 decades. I don't think the North-South divide is as pronounced with the FIFA WC as it is with the Olympics. A lot more soccer powers are south of the equator than general sports powers, so the WC has had to come south more often. I'd say of more importance is the time zone divide _ which is good and bad news for a USA 2018 tournament. The next two (Germany 2006 and SAfrica 2010) are perfectly placed for the prime-time TV audiences in the European heartland, while 2014 (assuming it goes to Brazil or somewhere else in South America) will fit the western hemiphere zone. What does this mean for 2018? Probably not much of an indicator, except that Europe's getting two in a row in its time zone, so why not the Americas (or Asia again)? As to your other points about Australia, I concur. As I said before, I really don't think Oz is going to host anytime soon, though in the long run I'm sure it will happen.
