Oh, my European neighbours and their constant complaints about socc..., oops, football and USA. Always good for a laugh. It's funny how you care about a simple word.
No passion for soccer in USA? I bet most of you don't even know (or care) that USA is still one of the most succesful and most important countries when it comes to women's football/soccer. And the male US team isn't nearly as bad as many Europeans and South Americans might think.
You want "real" football passion in the stadiums? We'll get plenty of it in 2010/Sout Africa and 2014/Brazil.
I for one wouldn't mind at all if the 2018 or 2022 world cup goes to USA, but as I said before, I think Canada might have better chances if both countries submit their bids.
As Sepp Blatter already stated (and once I agree with him): If any of the designated hosts fail to organize the tournament (we all know South Africa had severe financial problems and there's still a chance even Brazil might get in trouble), USA will be the best backup country in the world and the only one that could handle a late and quick shift of such a huge event.
