I repeat. If FIFA really wanted to do something they would've stepped in earlier. Those riots are nothing new. FIFA is only corrupt if it helps them. Sadly they don't give a shit about any host country. If they did, Brazil wouldn't have gotten the WC in the first place.


Brazil were the only country to bid for it, so yeah FIFA didn't really have a whole lot of choice there.

There's always the option of Germany ;)

We don't even need to build stadiums or infrastructure. We could prepare for a WC within months.

The only problem would be that we wouldn't be allowed to partake in the qualifying :(

According to Wikipedia they also had Chile/Argentina and Colombia to choose from but I guess there still weren't very many options.


As far as I can see (also based on Wikipedia) Colombia withdrew their bid and while there were rumours of interest no actual bid was made by Argentina/Chile.

Oh, sorry, I didn't see that.



So i was planning on boycotting todays match, due to "who cares about 3rd place" and since i won't get points for either finalist, im in a lost position anyway.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Wow, greedy much? You guys already had it in 2006 it's time for other countries to have a turn.

It's not that I necessarily want it here. There are literally no upsides and several downsides to that option for me, so I'd rather avoid it. But it is a valid option if there is no other suitable country.

If boycotting means you just drinking a lot of beer and passing out, where's the difference?

There are plenty of other options in Europe such as England, France, Spain and Italy. As well as outside Europe such as the US and Australia.


In all seriousness, England could host a World Cup tomorrow. We could do one Yearly, with ease.

You mean those recession countries? Yeah, they will probably kill each other for the opportunity to waste billions :P
