Big Question: Which Country do you want to Host a Future World Cup?
We have no doubt that Germany is going to be a great host for this year’s World Cup. The stadiums are fabulous, the country is an organized machine and other than the stuff you’ll find in the stadiums, the beer is delightful. We can’t fault FIFA for picking Germany for 2006. We also think South Africa 2010 will be pretty cool. Our question today is where would you like to see future World Cups played. We have one rule: you can’t pick your own country.
Forget FIFA’s schedule for upcoming tournaments and pick the one country where you would most like to watch the greatest sporting event in the world.

I’d love to see something in the Americas – Brazil or Argentina – because for us in the US there wouldn’t be the problems with the time difference. Of the two, I think that it would depend on which country can demonstrate the best infrastructure and resources.
However, if it has to be somewhere else, then I’d pick Ireland/Scotland.

By Nayo | May 6th, 2006 at 12:20 pm I think it would have to be Mexico. People forget that 86 was considered the greatest World Cup ever. Also Mexico already invests more money in infrastructure than any other country in America. Another great point is the atmosphere. Friendly people, various cities, at least a couple of huge stadiums. Plus Brazil probably wouldnot play in Maracana (doesn’t have the structure for a World Cup final and too old) so imagine seeing a final in the Azteca Stadium with another 103,999 people. It’d be great.

By Angelo Mattiello | May 6th, 2006 at 2:44 pm Brazil deserves one… But I’d also like it to be hosted in Eastern Europe, Australia or Cenrtal America (perhaps between two countries, although I believe Blatter said there will be no more co-hosting of the World Cup in the future, but who is to assure that?)
Oh, and of course, what about Mexico? 
Perhaps in 2022…
PS: Uruguay 2030, let’s return to where it all started…

By sihidat | May 6th, 2006 at 4:23 pm I think Australia would be a good host!

By AKC77 | May 6th, 2006 at 5:13 pm I agree with sihidat. Australia and New Zealand could co-host the world cup.
There are some amazing stadiums and it is a growing sport with a huge following there.

By nick | May 7th, 2006 at 3:25 am has to be Australia. Held the best olympics eva in Sydney and can only do a better job hosting the World Cup with great stadiums all around the country. Now that South Africa are hosting it in 2010, it would sure the World cup has in fact been hosted on every continent.

By james | May 8th, 2006 at 8:06 am it would be dead in the middle of winter in aussie world right?
MExico would be nice but 3 times?
From Europe it is clear to me. Let England and Spain duke it out and let the party begin because that would be an awesome smash up/fiesta. Apart from that who can deny Brazil (still winter but a warmer winter) and i just get the feeling that flsuh with EU cash one of those new guys could make and interesting run. something like a Czech/Slovakia mix

By james | May 8th, 2006 at 8:09 am One more comment.
Who CAN host the world cup? Given 9/11 in the US, bombings in Indonesia, Madrid, London etc, and we are talking about one of if the not THE biggest public stages in the world. FIFA has to be smart enough to pick a place that has the defense and intelligence infrastructure to pull it off with a little danger as possible.
To me that puts a lot of countries that would be great and deserving hosts on the bubble.

By nestor | May 15th, 2006 at 8:09 pm Mexico and the United States, with the US hosting the opening match in Pasadena (1994 Final) and Mexico hosting the final in Azteca(1970 & 86), stadium where both Pele and Maradona lifted the cup….and well Mexico should try to build better stadiums and well the US already has great stadiums…and terrorist wont do anything cause the world cup is even loved by them, common is futbol….the sport that unites the world….

By Andrew | July 7th, 2006 at 12:30 pm England should get one soon, they haven’t hosted it since 66. I also think Canada should get it too. They can use the stadiums that the current CFL teams use.

By Maradonnie | July 7th, 2006 at 8:08 pm Why not a neutral place like Antarctica?

By Mali | September 29th, 2007 at 1:13 pm I don’t like the idea of Southafrica 2010. I think is very far!! I am with Brazil 2012 and of course Uruguay 2030 will be wonderful. Let’s go where everything started one hundred years ago. About the infrastructure…Come on guys, the FiFa has a lot of money, just build new soccer fields and that’s it!
