So.....the USA/Canada/Mexico bid won the rights to the 2026 World Cup today.
The only other bidder was Morocco. No contest really in the end. Particularly considering it is moving to a 48 team World Cup then.
I watched the two Honduras vs Aust World Cup Qualifiers tonight on Fox 507. Amazing stuff and an incredible atmosphere at ANZ for the 2nd game. Not quite as good as the Uruquay game, but nevertheless, incredible.
Such a shame that Oz is so caught up and obsessed by other traditional sports. This is the biggest event the world over every 4 years. Absolutely insane in so many countries. Puts the Olympics to bed.
To us, it's just a side show that is an inconvenience to our local winter sports.
Such a shame, as I have no doubt we'd be a serious world competitor otherwise.

There is certainly a lot more money at stake with Real Madrid than the Spanish national football team.Cant help but wonder if Madrid made the decision instead of the Spain, football is their religion and their preseason starts soon but Spain will go a long way into the World Cup which will clash with RM's preseason
In any event, it seems that to win the support of FIFA for a WC bid, you need to grease the palms of many as it never seems to be a legitimate contest.
