Portugal could host it. And as noikee said, dual hosting is also a posibility. Most cities are safe to travel for these kind of events, unlike what you said.

Why is South Africa not safe exactly? It is not inhabited by barbarians.

Portugal just had the Euro four years ago. Have you been to South Africa? I have once and I did not feel safe in Johannesburg at all. I don't mean it as any offence, but come on man...the crime and murder rates in that country are through the roof. It's as dangerous, if not more, than Mexico for tourists these days.

Anyway if they can pull it off, then great for them. Africa deserves to have the World Cup, but the next time it comes to Europe, I think it's England's turn and they will easily put up the best bid. Whether or not they can get through all the politics and England hating in FIFA (Blatter for one) is another issue altogether.

Haven't been to South Africa myself but I imagine its a bit different from the rest of the world. With all the internal struggles currently taking place. Wouldn't be suprised either way if the Cup was held there or they turn around and move it somewhere else.

Besides England and Spain possibly holding the WC I wouldn't be suprised to see States step up either.

lol do you guys ever watch the news? The robberies, kidnappings and murders of tourists in Mexico and South Africa are a real concern these days. I've been to Mexico City, Johannesburg and London and I know which city I feel safer in, that's for sure. Nobody should be surprised if there are security problems during the next World Cup. No, I don't mean terrorists, but I mean how visiting supporters will be treated. As a white person, I have to be honest...I've never had so many fucking dirty looks as I did in SA (understandable I suppose but I'm Canadian and had nothing to do with apartheid) and in Mexico.

But that's not the main issue here. Hasn't Blatter said that Europe will be hosting the WC in 2018 for sure? The USA should piss off and wait until 2022 in my opinion, but we'll see.

Originally posted by Dj Smitty20 well England do have the stadiums but more importantly England is a relatively safe nation to travel to for events like these. You can't say the same for South Africa, let's be honest. I wouldn't go there! There's fucking 50 murders a day in that country. I'm sure they will be ready, but I can see massive logisitical problems at the next World Cup in terms of security

how many murders, do you suppose, are committed each day in England?

dare i say?... what about the united states???

i still have my '94 USA jersey lol

Guatemala will win the group
