Good work. Now give us a World Cup damnit.

If both 2018 and 2022 get re-votes, USA is probably the only country with the infrastructure available to organize an entire world cup in less than three years. Hell, the state of Texas alone has enough stadiums to do it

I think most of the big european countries could do it quite easily as well - they certainly have enough stadiums to not need more than one or two upgrades/new builds.

Why don't they make a "rule" that from now on, World Cups only play in existing stadiums, rather than building a wasteful slew of new ones every time?

There are dozens of countries that have enough high-enough-capacity stadiums to host it. Hell, with some clever scheduling you could host one in Mississippi alone.


While we're on the subject, how much progress has been made in Qatar's stadium building? The only thing more wasteful than building all of those stadiums just for the World Cup would be to build a bunch of stadiums for nothing...
