Funny that the US will probably host the WC twice in less than 40 years and England the land of football will go 60+ without doing so, sounds pretty stupid to me

The issue is confederations are up for specific years and 2026 is North America or Africa.  Europe will be up for 2030 and I'd be fine with England getting it.

Sometimes I wish the US could bid as a region "US West" and "US East" given its sheer size.  For me the travel costs of it being in the US or in England would be of little difference.  

Reference
Someone from London distance to World Cup Finals - 1990 Rome (1400km) - 1998 Paris (350 km) - 2006 Berlin (1000km) - 2018 Moscow (2500km)
Someone from Washington DC distance to World Cup Final - 1994 Los Angeles (3700km)

Yeah I understand but I don't think it should work like that. North America barely has teams able to host a wc outside Mexico, Canada and the U.S heck I think even Canada would need some preparation. Edit, I meant concacaf

Europe should host more often than they currently are given the amount of nations and footballing culture, without mentioning the most wc wins (similar to uefa coefficient for champions and europa league).

Well that's just me, nothing against the U.S hosting it again, just seems odd.
