FIFA is set to announce the two nations who will host the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, and the United States is one of the nations in the running for 2022.
As soon as the announcements are made, SBI will let you know who won right here so stay tuned.
What do you think of the process? Feeling good about the USA bid?
Share your thoughts below.
Yes. Precisely. They’ll buy a national team.
Brazil hosted 1 time and lost it 14 times…
compare it to Italy that has hosted it 2 times and lost 15 times…..
I canz comaprez
Brasil has hosted ONCE, in 1950 with 13 teams. Total number of matches played: 22.
I may be wrong but, I thought Qatar (according to some report; from fifa i believe) was the country with the biggest “risk”? and now…..
Brazil has hosted 2 WC and has won it 5 times. They shouldn’t be compared to the others.
I hope I hear a real opinion from Sunil Gulati, not a water downed, ‘disappointed but proud of our effort’ soundbite.
The people that Sunil paints with a dirty brush will not be around for 2026 and Sunil will not be in charge of the US bid when 2026 is awarded. So now its the time to say it Sunil, everyone is listening.
Sepp wanted his pay now he’ll be almost 90 by the time of the 2022 world cup
Wouldbe a good idea except foriegn oil money is taking over the English game.
Just get over it. Both US and ENG based their bids around existing stadiums and infrastructure. What Blatter and FIFA wanted was a bunch of white elephants and social impact so people in SA, Brasil, Russia and Qatar will say “this” is here because of FIFA and the WC…
USA should pull out of FIFA, join up with the English FA, and start a new international association.
The process of selection is flawed beyond belief. Qatar most likely used their money to influence the outcome. I am happy for Russia though. They have the winter olympics and the world cup now.
Who wants to watch panorama TV shots of the desert…
Don’t worry, with all of their draconian laws they still love their prostitutes (even under age!), so it’s perfect for the WC.
Josh, this is just the start…
The Middle East is one of the most intolerant places on Earth and political correctness dictates that you have to bow down to people of intolerance to help bring them into the modern world.
Think China Olympics… Russia, where true and unbridled racism exists on a grand scale should be fun for the world. Russia, where corruption runs at the highest level and where journos are shot to death for going against the government.
Great Choice FIFA!
Complete idiots
Qatar will likely be the lowest attended in recent memory. Who the fcuk wants to go there?
Sepp Blatter doesn’t care about American people. I’ve tried to turn away from the TV because it’s too hard to watch.
“t is a punishable offence to drink alcohol or be drunk in public. Offenders may incur a prison sentence or deportation. Alcohol is, however, available at licensed hotel restaurants and bars, and expatriates living in Qatar can obtain alcohol on a permit system. You should not carry alcohol with you, including in your car (except to take it on the day of collection from the warehouse to your home).
You should dress modestly when in public, including whilst driving. Women should cover their shoulders and avoid wearing short skirts. You should behave courteously at all times. Any intimacy in public between men and women (including between teenagers) can lead to arrest. Homosexual behaviour is illegal in Qatar. ”

No surprise at all. Sepp only cares about his “legacy” Why do you think he did two at once this time? Because he won’t be around or maybe wouldn’t have been around for 2022.
Can’t wait for England to now ban the BBC.
Definitely not Gulati’s fault. All he could have done was bribe them more than Qatar-high hurdle to climb. At least he was honorable.
Sepp wants his legacy… South Africa, Brasil, Russia and Qatar.
Well, Qatar is.
not to mention the middle east is a really safe place….. rolling eyes
SO upset.
LOL did anyone else catch the Sheik giving Sepp a stuffed envelope with dollars leaking out?
Ya know good for Qatar but honestly we’re talking potential issues that Fifa really needs to consider
– Country laws…check them out very very conservative
– Heat
– Size and avail of training sites
cant blame this on gulati. point the fingers at sepp
Thank you for loving money. Dirty money
I love that no one is clapping for Qatar. Even Russia got a ton of curtousy applause
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF! I appear to have sprung a leak over this BS!
Corrupt FIFA – no soccer for oil
Gulati must resign immediatley!
Qatar is going to start buying 12 year-old south americans. Their team will be made up of 1 maybe two people born in Qatar
Craptacular
LOL, nobody is clapping for Qatar…
Ladies and Gentlemen: the end of FIFA.
And Qatar celebrates that they have just qualified for their first world cup
What a joke, Fifa must have been given large supplies of oil
FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUU
