****ing madness.

If it's true that Ramos and a lot of the players were defending Lopetegui, we might get a France 2010 situation all over again and the players just don't play.

Colombia didn't have it 'taken' from them, they told FIFA they were ****ed and wouldn't be able to host it.




Uruguay-Argentina-Paraguay is the only bid that has been confirmed for 2030 so far, the only other rumoured bid out there is England or a possible UK bid, and that's not even official.

The idea of Uruguay being one of the hosts in 2030 kind of makes sense, as they hosted the first one 100 years prior. The fact they are involved in a bid is of no surprise.

It's going to become more common to get joint hosts as the tournament costs too much for one single country.

True but they where on the verge of having it taken from them.
3 years to go and they had no stadium building.
Aside from Brazil South America has very little new stadium buildibg
 
Good.

The inspection ratings for Morocco were sketchy at best, whereas USA/Mexico/Canada got pretty positive stuff across the board.

Shame, it would have been good to have in Morocco, I can't help but feel that politics and possibly bribery have massively influenced the outcome.

The additional £302m that FIFA get from the TV rights for a US staged competition might have helped a little.

In reality, I don't think Morocco ever had much chance, they want to avoid controversy for the next one and Morocco had some dodgy bits in its bid, not least the fact that there was a decent chance they wouldn't be able to fund half the things they'd proposed.
