UK World Cup anyone?

[Barry Shitpeas]

Presumably they would have to allow all host nations automatic qualification.

UK and Ireland would work because everyone can get around easily and fairly quickly, every city would be max 1 hour flight away from anywhere teams are based.

12-13 cities?

Wembley
Emirates
Old Trafford / Etihad
St James Park
Villa Park
Amex
Elland Road
Portman Road
Millennium
Hampden Park
Murrayfield?
Windsor Park
Aviva

Would they need to include Ireland? Think there's more than enough major stadiums to do it in the UK alone. Especially with the likes of Spurs' new stadium due to complete in 2018. FIFA might see giving auto qualification to 5 countires as too much, not that 4 would be a whole lot better mind.

Only if we enter as a U.K. team

How about the Celtic bid? Some stadiums would need expanding.

Mill Stad
CCS/Swansea
Murrayfield
Hampden
Celtic Park
Aberdeen
Windsor Park
Aviva
Croke Park
Cork
Limerick

2026 WC is likely to be USA/Mexico / Canada, providing there's decent transport links over the walls that Trump is building.

Lots of potential for defensive wall jokes, though.
