Talking about the stadiums is all well and good, but FIFA has other requirements for host cities.
So even if you could squeeze through the all the ovals (which I'm extremely doubtful of unless every other bid was embarrassingly bad), you'd still have issues in a bunch of cities with public transport options and capactiy, the standard of hotels and how many rooms they have, enough training facilities up to FIFA's standards, etc, etc.
So in a lot of cities you'd really be looking at the taxpayer and private investors putting in way more than just the $500mil-$1bil on a stadium.
