So when it comes to other regions of the world they have to wait 5 tournaments before it comes around again, but with the Middle East of course they make an exception there.

It stinks and people just accept it. This is what Saudi Arabia are working towards now with their league. South America basically gave up a World Cup for 3 games. Canonly assume the federation ahs been handsomely compensated.

There always has to be 2 tournament gaps between continents hosting and with 2030 being hosted in South America, Europe and Africa it meant that only Asian and Oceanic nations could bid for this one. It was always set up for Saudi Arabia to win.

More interestingly, it does mean that only Oceanic and North American nations could host in 2038 and with USA/Canada/Mexico hosting the next one, it's unlikely any of them will want to host again. And with Australia being part of the Asian federation, it means they won't be able to host with New Zealand. I'm expecting some rules changes before then or where will the tournament actually be? laugh.gif

Spread it out across Oceania and give all the countries AQ spots? It'd certainly make for interesting watching!

Another slavery World Cup then. I swear, we should be able to see the country's proposed stadiums and exactly how they plan to build them and do it legally.

Impressive! Though they were in the 2013 Confederations cup if my memory serves me correctly so clearly have some pedigree in reality too biggrin.gif
