to host world cup in 2026.
Appalling decision. ridiculous.
Morocco would have been a superb location.
Hope the whole thing goes tits up now.
Can't be serious, even FIFA graded the United bid as vastly superior. About time the world Cup came back to CONCACAF
I am serious.
Morroco have bid many times.
They are a wonderful people and the world cup scattered acroos thos e three countries is ludicrous.
Can you see South American countries sharing it?
You wouldn't see any football anyway, you'd be too busy on the golf course.Originally Posted by AlwaysAway2

It was never going to be Morroco just 4 years after Qatar.
They're in different continents and about 7,000 miles apart. I'm sure if it had have gone to Morocco we wouldn't be saying Spain couldn't have it next.
Morocco is a very, e dodgy and dangerous country, if you have ever spent time away from the well protected tourist traps, and gone off the beaten track there
Be a great World Cup if you can get to it
Agreed. Thats my 50th birthday trip sorted. Just hope Wales can qualify now.
Is this one going to be 48 teams? Very few countries could host that on their own.
EDIT: I've just remembered that ridiculous conversation with BIS last week. Forget I said this...
This could well be the last ever tournament with a single host.
QATAR??
trump strikes again
You just plucked that name out of the air guitar ?
Oh yeah.... the BBC made the same mistake a while back, but plenty argued they were right and I was wrong.

Its great to have the World series back again.
There's bound to be a couple of games at Metlife Stadium. Going to really try to get tickets for something.
Fixed it for you
Had to google that. Never heard of it.Fixed it for you
The final is there. Just go to that one
Thought USA 94 was an amazing world cup. It's a bit dodgy the US getting it back again so soon, but you know this would be good.
Not sure I like this host sharing thing. Dilutes the magic. Surely Canada could easily have hosted this on their own?
The World Cup has been to every region (some multiple times) since CONCACAF has had it last, they were due to host.
Expanding to 48 teams means you'd need to have at least 14 venues, no way Canada can pull that off. Maybe 6 stadiums, so you'd need to build brand new venues that won't be used after the World Cup, doesn't make sense.
Flying from Toronto > Mexico City is less time than flying from NY > LA so just having it in the USA isn't really any better. This way a Country like Canada, and Mexico get to also host a small percentage of matches. Due to the expanded format having 3 qualified teams wouldnt make any difference as CONCACAF will just get less spots in qualifying.
It's like Wales, we would never be able to host our own World Cup, but if we bid with England we might be able to. I don't really see a downside.
Mexico 70, Mexico 86 - first country to host it three times.
