2014 World Cup Thread

i dont see how australia have got a long way to go to host a world cup compared to qatar

maybe you mean that we need years to learn how to bribe the proper people or to get enough bribe money

 

[Rodzilla]

australia/nz joint bid tbh

 

[S4Sonny]

Be prepared for drinks break every 5 mins once the World Cup hits Qatar

Seriously though, 2022 World Cup should have been either us or America - give it to one of the countries that calls the game Soccer instead of Football

 

[S4Sonny]

Also, giving Messi the Golden Ball award is like giving Suarez the FIFA Fair Play award :rolleyes:

They can run match simulations on FIFA '22

That's the way the NRL is headed with the current bullshit you can't do this or you can't do that rules, in 5 years time we'll have game simulations on Rugby League Live 2

Under the rotation rules, a confederation cannot bid for the next two tournaments after it has hosted the WC.

Russia is hosting the WC2018 so no European country can bid until 2030

Qatar 2022, nobody in Asia can bid until 2034

Australia left the OFC to join the AFC to increase their chances of qualifying for World Cups. That's worked, but Qatar's success means Australia cant bid to host the WC until 2034.

NZ are the only country in the OFC with even a ghost of a chance of organising a WC, they've never previously even bid for it

the way you worded your first comment sounded like australia wasnt ready in terms of stadiums and infrastructure

but i get your point now of yeah it will be 30 years before we get a look in again

**** FIFA AND QATAR

dont judge until we see how good fifa 23 is, it should be excellent ffs

Germany deserved to win tbh. They have been great all tournament.

Qatar definately should not of won the bid to host the 2022 World Cup.

FIFA wants to expand football into ASIA, though Australia is down the pecking order in regards to the population, profits and the general fact of its poor popularity here

China and India arguably already have the two largest middle-class populations in the World, have oodles of billionaries and rising, have ever increasingly standards of living albeit with a large disparity between the rich and the poor.

They're both be in the top 3 largest economies within the decade. If either of these countries truly want the World Cup, they will get it first time they bid. That's why FIFA are tapping into this market.

India's a bit further down the track, and football has to become more popular but there too are just so many carrots and opportunities for football and associated sponsors etc that they'll have to be compelling bids to go against them should they bid for a World Cup beyond 2034. Who in their right mind would have thought Qatar would get the 2022 World Cup 10 years ago? 5 years ago? 2 years ago? One year ago?


FIFA will follow the money that China and India offer. China will definitely and India quite likely will get a World Cup before we do.

2030: Australia/NZ joint bid

100 year annivesary of the World Cup to be hosted in Australia and NZ? LOL

As mentioned, Australia nor any other Asian country cannot make a bid to host the WC before 2034 and Australia and NZ cannot make a joint bid as Australia is under the AFC and NZ is under the OFC

why are you acting like the rules are cemented lol, there was once a situation where europe got it once every other world cup

sooner or later fifa is going to look up and see that their rotation policy has put them into a situation where they must go to an undesirable country and they will reconsider, if you think they will go to india before us you are crazy

yes 100 year anniversary in the last continent, completing the full circle and taking it to the final frontier and final confederation to not host it

2062 I'll be fukking dead by then.and if by some bizarre reason I'm still alive I'd be that frail and senile that I wouldn't know what soccer is

I just want the world cup in our timezone. I hate waking up at 2.00am or 6.00am for a match.

 

[Rodzilla]

actually thinking about it we should do a Australia/India Joint bid to host the world cup

we host all the games and india takes care of the ticketing phone center calls

In the previous world cup I watched Australia v's Italy at Hurlstone Park RSL.

As it was starting at 4.00am some were having a pizza with a beer while others were having bacon & eggs with a coffee.
