Sounds like those estimates of votes are all over the place.

Probably has more to do with the US fifa corruption trial from a few years ago than anything else.

Prosecuting former bribe-takers does piss off the current crop.

We are good enough to beat the best teams, and bad enough to lose to the worst teams.

FIFA is kind of like the UN. Our bid is at the mercy of a huge number of corrupt kleptocrats each with far more power than they would normally merit.

Hopefully the other confederations will take pity on poor Canada, as this bid represents their best chance to ever play in a World Cup final.


Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.

In the end the decision will come down to where the most $$$$$ can be made.

Do you mean overall (for FIFA/hosts) or for the people with the votes? As shown by where the next 2 WCs will be, the two can be very different.

Is there any need to ask?

U.S. prosecution of corrupt FIFA officials has also not endeared us to the current avaricious bunch.

Meanwhile the wonderful Moroccans are murdering stray dogs in advance of FIFA's visit to the country
I am not one for military adventurism but if we went and bombed the shit out of whatever building that houses the monsters responsible for that I would be 100% fine with it. Fucking scum.
