Why? Unless they already have the stadiums like the US, I don't see why Australia should get it.
I can actually go to it if it is in the US.
yep. I would like to see it there.
Australia have ton of good stadiums. That 90,000 capacity stadium that Liverpool played their pre-season last summer was amazing.
Australia definitely already has plenty of excellent stadia. The MCG, SCG, Etihad, Hockey Park, ANZ, Allianz, Suncorp etc. are all modern and hold 40,000+.
I was there, it was incredible (although the pitch was a reasonable distance away from the stands given that it's a cricket ground).
Because the United States held it not that long ago in World Cup history and Australia has never held it.
It would help build the sport in that region too. Don't buy into the record attendance bollocks either, else we should only rotate it between, like, 3 countries.
It's only fair.

Shit, that's good to hear.
In that case I still want it in the US. Because I can actually go to that. \o/

Didn't Australia want to host the WC in the winter as well?
Far too many two letter words in that sentence, jeez
Can't see why they would?
m8, I paid you $1.5m to be fucking quiet.
What part of the states would it be in? No clue where the major football hubs are....

They surely have to redo the whole vote don't they? Can't just give it to the States.

As proven time after time, they don't really have to do anything*.
*Unless the sponsors complains.
Elsk is right though, just a backup and won't change anything I bet.
FIFA are all about equality and fairness
But don't be an out gay player in 2022 because you are illegal and won't be allowed
Charming innit

"In January 2010, 18 cities and 21 stadia were selected for the final bid. The cities were Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Miami, Nashville, New York, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Diego, Seattle, Tampa, and Washington, D.C. The cities with multiple qualifying stadia were Los Angeles, Seattle, Dallas and Washington."

The USA can do one, they hosted it not so long ago
I'd rather have it in Atlantis than Qatar
Are any of the Arsenal fans here from North London....
Proof it isn't a local thing
It would be 28 years. That's a big enough gap.

But our 2018 bid was rejected and that would have been a 52 year gap

I think Australia deserves the WC over the US but I'd be able to drive down to watch games in Seattle. Hmm

It would be ridiculous if the USA had it again, considering how popular football is in the UK.
I would consider the idea that FIFA were trying to make football more popular in countries where it's notconsidered a top sport, but it's be replacing the world cup in FUCKING QATAR.

I've visited the US before and you have to state you're not a communist, sorry m8, you're not getting in.
We will all shed a tear when Denmark, managed Christian Poulsen, wins it all.

Just give it to us FIFA. I mean you said we could host it tomorrow, so I think we could do pretty well with 8 years to prepare.
Also, Russia is not really Europe so don't worry about 2018.
