[QUOTE="gingergenius, post: 293861"] Well, considering that 2010 is in South Africa, and 2014 is in Brazil, I think 2018 is almost certainly going to be in Europe. England are bidding, as are Spain & Portugal, and Belgium & Holland. I can't really see the flatlands as a threat, so I think it will be a contest between England and Iberia, who'll both hold great world cups if they had the chance. Could be an oppurtunity for Spain to hold a racism-free event as well. Maybe Aus in 2022, but I can't say I'd be happy. It'll be well organised and attended, since Australians seem to love anything to do with sport, but I'd hate for a country like Australia with a thriving indigenous football code as well as rugby to be polluted by football. There's only so much room for winter team sports in any one country, and 3 seems to be the upper limit. Even with 3, we've had to move League into the Summer. So I desperately don't want to see football become more popular in a country with such a great tradition in both codes of rugby, plus its own unique sport in Aussie Rules. [/QUOTE]
