They should go back to hosting it in Europe every 8 years. It was fucking stupid they Blatter stopped it. This is the kinda thing that happens when you push for South Africa to get a tournament they have no business hosting. They don't have a clue what they are doing and their bid wasn't close to the best one.

Bruce Arena raised expectations to a new level. They ultimately doomed him. Now that the winningest coach in U.S. Soccer history is out, the American dream rests on a German, Jürgen Klinsmann.

I seriously doubt Klinsmann will take over manager right now for the United States. Maybe down the road, but not now.

Don't go, Arena

You just know they're gonna replace him with someone who can actually keep his mouth shut, and then it won't be so absolutely fucking hilarious when the yanks get stuffed every time

In Australia, I can think of 2 dedicated rectangular stadiums which could possibly be World Cup standard; Suncorp up here and Aussie down in Sydney. Hindmarsh in Adelaide needs a roof at the ends and Olympic Park in Melbourne should be after its upgrade.

Of course, Telstra Dome, Telstra Stadium and the MCG would also be used, as would Subiaco and/or the new one over there which is apparently being built. The Gabba, ANZ Stadium, possibly Penrith Stadium and the SCG could also be used as backup.

That gives us 12, 7 of which aren't even the right shape for football. Add to that the fact that Olympic Park and the MCG, and Aussie Stadium and the SCG are both right next to each other and there'll constantly be enormous bottlenecks in both cities.

Speaking of which, don't even get me started on the traffic infrastructure. Having experienced Sydney traffic last year, I'm lost as to how they managed to survive hosting the Olympics down there. Absolute fucking disaster.

Lastly, the impact it would have on the other sports here would be enormous. Both rugby league and aussie rules seasons would have to be shut down, probably even missed entirely in getting venues ready and using them for the World Cup. That's not going to sit well, especially with Eddie shinyarse McGuire etc down in Melbourne.

So I sincerely hope we're not being considered as a backup to South Africa. Even Greece managed to be ready for their Olympics. Surely with the dedicated rugby stadiums over there, South Africa is a lot more suited to hosting it anyway.
Fuck that, just play all the games at the MCG, Telstra Dome & Telstra Stadium because those are the only stadiums in Australia which can hold a decent crowd. (Just as long as they play it inbetween footy & cricket season & don't allow any immigrants or tourists into the country)

It seems like a pretty logical step. I know Klinsmann said he needs some time off, so I don't know if the US will need to hire a coach for some tournament before he is ready. If Klinsmann is going to coach again, why not start in two years for World Cup qualifying? It would be one thing if he was living in New England or something, but it is at least 15 hours of travel from Southern California to Europe.

They can't do that. The only time the World Cup can really be played is between May and August.

Otherwise it'd just completely piss off all the top European clubs who basically own the game.

Play it in February or October & make all the Euro clubs change their fixtures to fit in with us.
