I mean 2014 but I say next in that the next one has already begun with qualifiers.

Just wondering if people have an opinion on this as the footer is pretty big on daves.

I think YEH just what Brazil need --the home advantage. (I hate Brazil) Another angle is that they are far from ready in terms of venues. Granted they have 6 years to get their act together but as a poor country might be tough.

I say hold all world cups in the UK with Wales and Northern Ireland included as hosts... Wink

Something just sounds really really right with the world when I heard that the World Cup will be in Brazil.

my money is on 2018 going to england or a european country, 2022 to the us or mexico, 2026 europe and 2030 in asia

i wouldnt be suprised if brazil cant get things in place it may wind up suddenly switched to the US. In 1986 Columbia backed out at the last minute and Mexico hosted

Ummm...did you just hear about this today?

It was announced several days ago, and it's been anticipated (as an inevitable fact) for something like four or five years.

That said, good for Brazil. If anybody deserves the chance to host the tournament, despite their disadvantaged position in terms of stadiums and transport, it's Brazil.

Maracana Stadium held 200,000 for the WC Final in 1950.(Official estimates put it more like 150K)
