2018/2022 World Cups: Where to play?
December 1st 2010 16:53
As we all wait for the day when the 2018 and 2022 World Cup hosts will be announced we just sit back and think about who should host.
For 2018 It looks like either Russia or Spain/Portugal. I would rather see it in England but not being from any of these countries to be honest don't really care. Living in the United States makes it hard for me to watch alot of live events that takes place in Russia so i would prefer England or Spain.
For 2022 It is a tight race between Qatar, Australia and the United States. Well of course i want it in the United States and see no reason why it should be.
Pros for England As Sepp Blatter himself has stated, "England can organise the World Cup tomorrow", boasting as it does a collection of world-class stadia and the necessary infrastructure to deliver a major tournament. England has also scored high in economic terms, with impressive revenue projections that would bode well for FIFA's balance sheet, and there are absolutely no fears over demands on transport and technology.
Pro for United States Bloomberg recently reported that only the England and US bids would be able to satisfy FIFA's revenue targets and it has been suggested that hosting the World Cup would contribute as much as $5 billion to the country's economy. The last time the tournament was hosted in the States, a record 3.6 million spectators attended matches, and the legacy from that tournament (along with the popularity of sport in the country) means there are few reservations over infrastructure or organisation. Expanding the US market and providing a lasting legacy will also be very attractive to FIFA.
Well till Tomorrow lets just pray that England and the United States win their Bids.
