The question is if they can put it together as a team. I say yes, and pick them to win. Edited June 12, 2018 by DaveDX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morocco would have actually been an awesome location though. The infrastructure in place and pure profit margin difference makes the NA bid a clear winner for FIFA. I'm so excited, I'm going to try and go to as many games on the East Coast as I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also there is apparently going to be 80 matches at this WC and Mexico and Canada only get 10 a piece, that's laughable and frankly insulting to those countries assuming they wanted more matches.

drd23 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Quote The winning bid The 'United' World Cup will generate $14bn (£10.3bn) in revenue and make an $11bn (£8.1bn) profit for Fifa, says Cordeiro. Of the 16 host cities, 10 will be in the United States while the remainder will be split evenly between Canada and Mexico. Sixty matches will take place in the US, while Canada and Mexico will host 10 games each. The final will be held at the 84,953-capacity MetLife Stadium, which is home to NFL sides the New York Giants and the New York Jets. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/44464913 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKTexans Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Also Spanish manager sacked after he dabbled with Real behind the Spanish FA's back. I'm glad their FA stood on their principles, but it might cost them dearly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
