That Blacktown stadium would’ve been useless
Even for GWS
lost to Qatar from memory
No it doesn't.
So sad how rugby league can’t get results out of governments like our afl rivals can

You’re right but I think that’s because it’s a non issue everywhere but here. We’re unique in that we’re the only country where an oval is better suited to a dominant, rival football code which FIFA might see it being at odds with their legacy requirements.
Thats hilliarious coz, now its like vic govt aren't even wanting the commonwealth games, where a decade ago we were throwing 50mil on just the bidding for the WCSepp Blatter says Australia had ‘no chance’ of winning 2022 World Cup bid, according to whistleblower’s new book
EXCLUSIVE: Blatter exposes truth behind Aussie WC disaster
Yeah thats very true, other than Great Britain and New Zealand, ovals aren't really that much of a draw card round the world... .maybe add india
Something fishy about FIFA as usual

Incorrect. Fifa has very strict guidelines on which stadiums can be used for World Cup matches . This includes how far the seats are from the centre of the pitch. If any seats fall outside this distance the stadium is ineligible to host matches.
How did Eden park pass
That still doesn't change the fact our broadcasters are low scale and fifa want broadcasters that can pay the astronomical amount they are used to, its the very reason we were never considered a decade ago, the chairman of fifa even pointed that out
