To some of us here, a World Cup for Canada would be a "major risk" for FIFA to take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexjc Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 2018 will be a tussle between China and England with 2022 allotted to the loser, IMO. 2026, FIFA may stick it's neck out and give Australia a chance if that country isn't chasing the Olympic Games again by then.

Faster Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 CONCACAF and Europe are the next two hosts of the world cup, and CONCACAF will probably go to Canada if the 2007 would youth championships turn a profit. Blatter has hinted many times that CONCACAF's only hope right now is Canada the next European host will probably, unfortunatly be England, but i would rather it be Denmark-Sweden or Russia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's moved past that 'every 3rd tournament' mindset-- which was never really a World Cup thing but a Summer Olympics thing. Didn't it always alternate between South AMerica and Europe? SO how does the every 3rd for Europe rationale hold for the WC TODAY? 90 - Italy 94 - USA 98 - France 02 - Korea/Japan 06 - Germany 10 - South Africa I have not seen anything which says 'every 3rd WC ought to return to Europe.' I strongly disagree. I read FIFA's intentions as opening it up more to the world and not just Europe. I say 14 - Brazil 18 - USA (that's 24 years since 1994) long enough for it to return.

However, those other guys may differ big time. I don't think we need to put examples here because it has been debated over and over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Henson Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 Why should the USA get a world cup every 20 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikel Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 Why should the USA get a world cup every 20 years? I totally agree with you for once, Robert. Why? Do you have good football teams in your country like Bayern Munich in Germany, Liverpool in Englad, Real Madrid and FC Barcelona in Spain?? NO! So... I repeat: Why should the USA get a WC every 20 years? 2014- Chile/ Brazil/ Argentina 2018- England 2022- Other part of the world 2026- Chile/ Brazil/ Argentina 2030- Spain 2034- Other part of the world 2038- Chile/ Brazil/ Argentina 2042- Italy 2046- Other part of the world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baron-pierreIV Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 Why should the USA get a world cup every 20 years? I didn't say every 20 years. Like was it there before 1994? And why should it go back to Europe every 3 Cups? The World is so much bigger than it was 20-25 years ago. Funny, they haven't played the Women's FIFA (notice that is says) WORLD Cup in Europe the last 2 times. Also, see this link: 50 Years Ago... And back to your original question: why shouldn't it? The Winter Games which the Europeans have thought they own, return to the US/North America every 20 years: 1960, 1980, 2002 (Canada, 1988 and 2010). So why do you think that the WC is a European purview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arwebb Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 There are more countries capable of hosting it in Europe, though. I think going back every third tournament is sensible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faster Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 i wish the location of the host wasn't important, i wish that one day the winning host for any sporting event is the one that has the best bid. I tend to agree with the European's here, if CONCACAF is to host in the next little while it should not be the USA, and should not be Mexico, i think Canada is a logical choice, but it would also be good if it could be something Canada and the USA share, you know as a sign of friendship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny, they haven't played the Women's FIFA (notice that is says) WORLD Cup in Europe the last 2 times. The football world isn't that much bigger than it was 20-25 years ago in terms of the countries who are enthusiastic about the sport. There are probably 20 countries in Europe whose passion for football is greater than the USA's. That is why Europe should get every third world cup. And the same goes for South America. They should have every third world cup as well. I stand by my belief that, if there is a set rotation policy it should be: 1. Europe 2. South America 3. Other Women's football, however is a very different beast. The USA have one of the best teams as do China. European teams and European support, is, by comparison, tiny so it is perfectly reasonable that there haven't been many tournaments here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, they've also opened up the number of slots from as few as 24 teams (the last time being the US tournament), to the present, larger 32 teams in France in 1998 -- thereby allowing more of the non-European countries a greater chance to participate in the WC. While I admit passion is part of it, but I think marketing AND ability to stage the damn thing on a financially sound, safe and sensible basis accounts for the other considerations as well.

baron-pierreIV Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 Here's a link to a story which details the unsurpassed attendance figures at the 1994 World Cup: Fantastic attendance figures at 1994 World Cup I will even quote the definitive paragraph: "In terms of attendance, the event was a rousing success. The average attendance of nearly 69,000 shattered a record that had stood since 1950. The total attendance for the final tournament of nearly 3.6 million remains the greatest in World Cup history, despite the expansion of the competition to 32 teams in 1998. The overall attendance record will not be broken until at least 2010, as the maximum possible attendance for the 2006 World Cup is less than 3.5 million. The 1950 Football World Cup is the only one which never had a single final match. ... The 1998 Football World Cup was held in France. ... The 2010 Football World Cup will take place in South Africa. ... The final stages of 2006 Football World Cup are scheduled to take place in Germany between 9 June and 9 July. ..." So there is no passion there? And the home team didn't even reach the semi-finals. What if it did? i wish the location of the host wasn't important, i wish that one day the winning host for any sporting event is the one that has the best bid.I tend to agree with the European's here, if CONCACAF is to host in the next little while it should not be the USA, and should not be Mexico, i think Canada is a logical choice, but it would also be good if it could be something Canada and the USA share, you know as a sign of friendship Didn't you also just state that CONCACAF should be in line for one of the next prospective hosts? CONCACAF and Europe are the next two hosts of the world cup, and CONCACAF will probably go to Canada if the 2007 would youth championships turn a profit. Blatter has hinted many times that CONCACAF's only hope right now is Canada If it were up to me and plan the next WC North American hosting chores, I would allow Montreal, Torinto and Vancouver -- being Canada's big 3 urban markets with over 1,000,000 residents -- to host in the qualifying rounds; and of course, the rest in the States.

Apart from the WC we have the Eurocup each four years, do you have something like that in the CONFACAFA (I don´t know if it's correct)?? And don't talk about Southamerica: there are also a lot of countries like Colombia or Venezuela that have more football passion than the USA, the problem is that they haven't got the money :verysad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czech Republic & Slovakia? I guess, yeah, if people there didn't eat or buy medicines or go to the hospital for 15 years, they could stage the most lavish World Cups ever. Columbia? Uhmmm...they couldn't even handle it for 1986 when it was their turn and there were only 24 nations; what more now with 32 teams? Don't be ridiculous. Hosting a 21st century-World Cup is even more cost-intensive and impractical than it is for a Summer Olympics. As rich and advanced as Korea and Japan are, FIFA saw it fit that 2 rich nations should share the hosting burdens 3 years ago -- what more the tiny nations that you mention? You can bet South Africa will do another Athens and go into debt as it prepares to host in 2010. People here are good at throwing out the names of nations (whom FIFA would not even consider in a heartbeat) but they don't realize what it really and actually takes to host an event of this magnitude.
