blah blah blah blah

When is the interesting part.

I am watching the Congress live on FIFA TV online. A big difference between the two presentation is the gender and age diversity in the United bid compared to Morocco which was simply adult males. Stark difference which I hope does not affect voting.

I believe they have a way better package. A vote for Morocco over the United bid would have been a bit sentimental. In the end this was the right choice.

Sometimes you just ignore a baby’s tantrum and do the right thing.

Agreed. Watching both bid presentations and then the FIFA analysis, USA/Mexico/Canada simply had the better case.

Very good! Ando no to a country that wanted to join the E.U and withdraw from hosting 2015 cup of nations in fear of Ebola.

TBH, in terms of presentation aesthetics, it was a beat down of Morocco. It was not even close, IMO.

A 48 team world cup will be terrible.

For the DNQers maybe but to the countries in it , nah!

On a serious note, it is just the same with about 8 plus crappy games added to the current number.

16 groups of 3 is a recipe for collusion.

Cito,

There will not be crappy games. Think about this -- if we had 48 team WC this year you may have the following participating:

Italy
Ghana
Chile
USA
Holland
I/Coast
Paraguay
Wales
Austria
N/Ireland
Ukraine
Congo DR
Greece
Cameroon
Jamaica
Burkina Faso

*Note, I have not used actual berths designed for qualification from Confederations. This is just to note countries capable of playing now in the World Cup and there are more.

...looks like it was a no brainer.
3 western countries vs one 3rd world.
The infrastructures, logistics, and managements are there.
Plus by then the current USA politics of hate to foreigners must have ebbed.

Hmm, I agree with you; therefore, I think it's a good thing Morocco lost the bid.

This is not true.
Ghana wouldn’t have made it - Uganda finished ahead of them in qualifying. Cameroon wouldn’t have been in too.
Syria, United Arab Emirates, New Zealand, and possibly Solomon Islands would have made it over some of the teams you listed.

...the world knew Trump would be gone, in jail by then. You wanna hurt Trump, do something now that will hurt him not 8-10 years from now.
