Hell, even Blatter said he expected the US to get it before Platini had lunch with Qataris and Sarckozy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 2030 would be the measuring stick. If it's in China or Argentina you'll see a ton of new projects to get stadiums up to code. The US, Mexican and Canadian stadiums are already built or already in the process of being built. None of that will kill over 500 people, let alone 5,000. We're also not as dystopic a nation as people think. It's just that bad news gets more attention than good news. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say what you will about the US, we're not using slaves to build state-of-the-art stadiums nor would the US World Cup require moving the event to November due to it being 122 degrees in the summer. This event also wouldn't bankrupt the US. Do the people running the Olympics/FIFA get off on leaving developing countries with white elephants they can't possibly maintain? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No they get off on backside bribes and deals that net them millions in personal gain to go against the greater good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think part of the reason Brazil is hosting the Copa America is also to get actual use out of those stadiums they overpaid for. Not all of them though.

Manaus is not because it's in the middle of the Amazon. Others are too big for the teams in that area to afford. Maracana has had issues as well but still gets used irregularly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
