So 6 countries automatically qualify for the finals !! What a joke.
And a 48 team tournament - any country not playing ?

Scotland?

Teams won’t know to base themselves and never mind the poor fans who won’t afford to go and obviously not good for the environment!

 

[DJ]

So detached from reality.

 

[Kenya Cherrie]

Only England and Ireland left for the Euro's, they should share it.

Of course they will when the draw is made.

The UK and Ireland bid is a joint bid.

Man this is completely ridiculous. Who are the unlucky teams who are going to have to deal with chronic jet lag?

 

[SuperAliSantos]

Good thing we had the foresight to claim Ascension Island 200-odd years ago. I reckon that's about halfway between Spain and Uruguay so will be the ideal base for our team.

But the first two games will be in Tonga

You know, to spread the word of football worldwide and that

I wonder how much FIFA get per country that stages the world cup? That aside how do you generate the atmosphere across 3 continents, 6 countries and God knows how many time zones? How do you compensate for the different conditions?

It's hard to get too excited about something 7 years away

Wales probably.

 

[Pete17]

Its really important to celebrate Uruguay hosting and winning the first World Cup in 1930 So lets give them one game and not the whole tournament

 

[Red_till_im_ded]

6 brown envelopes each. A good days work

 

[Kenya Cherrie]

Argentina will be playing someone like Greenland, .
then It all comes back across the Atlantic.

Only the first half of the first game. The second half will be played three days later on The Cook Islands.
Any extra time will be played on Baffin Island.

FIFA take all the gate receipts. They won't give a stuff about those type of sensible questions.
