[QUOTE="gingergenius, post: 247267"] I think it should go to Italy. It seems like SA is trying to host as many sporting events as it possibly can... but it's not their turn. It should go on a rota - European -> Non-European country like it always has done. If it does go to Italy, then I'm quite happy for SA to get the next one. Because it will trivialise the World Cup if it is continually used as a marketing tool in developing nations. However, if it does go to England, then the next one should definitely be Japan. But basing it on how successful 2007 was, then England will certainly match that. We've got the interest, we've got the stadiums (France used a lot of Football stadiums)... Twickenham Wembley Madejski (once it's expanded) Olympic (hopefully it won't be knocked down) Welford Road (expanded)/ Filbert Street Kingsholm/ Rec (expanded) Then 4 footy stadiums, probs in Manchester, Birmingham, Newcastle... and Leeds or Liverpool, or the Ricoh in Coventry where they put the **** HC knockout games. and a couple more maybe Murrayfield or Millennium. Incidentally, Ireland/ Scotland haven't ever hosted one... perhaps if they did a joint one with Wales, with the final either at Murrayfield or Landsdowne? [/QUOTE]
