USA-Canada Could Bid For 2026 World Cup 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Tue May 13, 2014 3:58 pm

CONCACAF president Jeffrey Webb states that there's "zero chance" of the United States receiving the 2022 World Cup unless allegations against Qatar are proven true.

Qatar was awarded the 2022 World Cup and have had many issues with building the venues for the competition.

But Webb said that there's talk of a joint bid with the United States and Canada to host the 2026 World Cup.

Well they better pick a good place, because 50% of population don't like football. If they get it they better do it on the West Side, where people would actually go.

You don't need to worry about empty stadiums. The WC could be played in Alaska and the stadiums would be full. :wink:
