[QUOTE="BigTen, post: 39393"] Australia is unlikely to bid to host the cup in 2018 because they would be up against European bids and all of the European nations tend to stick together. Also all of the European nations know that they have the best chance of winning the tournament when it is hosted in Europe. No European nation has won the world cup outside of Europe. Also FIFA would be reluctant to have the cup in a country that couldn't guarantee the same amount of revenue that a European nation could. Australia have the resources (stadia, infrastructure, fanbase, etc) to host a highly successful tournament and it would be awesome to see some of the world's greatest footballers downunder. Maybe 2022 is the more realistic tournament to bid for. [/QUOTE]
