        World Cup Bid

        Australia's final presentation to FIFA will be shown tonight at 11.55 on Fox and ABC News 24.

        One day I have positive vibes and the next, like today, negative ones. In all honesty, I can't see us beating USA.

                            I just get the feeling the USA will have bought enough numbers to get it.

                                Like the 1996 Olympic games?

                                    I don't get it, though -- all the other applicants have already hosted a WC very recently, South Korea/Japan as recently as 2002, and US in 1994. The only country thus far who has hosted the World Cup twice is Mexico in 1970 and 1986 (although West Germany also hosted the 1954 version before a unified Germany did 2006).

                                    To give it to anyone other than the UAE or Australia would be breaking long-standing tradition of not going back to a country too quickly -- Spain/Portugal would be arguing that case too re: the 2018 version (although England will probably get it).

                                    Australia's main argument would be the closeness to the burgeoning Asian market, as well as access to a previously untapped region, however, FIFA may see the US as a far more lucrative option, although that would be short-sighted: The sporting market there is already saturated, the soccer market (despite popular perception) is already very mature and is the largest participant sport for females of all ages (the US women's soccer team has won the women's world cup twice of the five times it has been held), the under-12 age-group (thus the coining of the term 'soccer mom'), and Spanish-speaking US citizens. Also, projecting to 2022, the global economic centre of gravity would have well and truly shifted to Asia, so if FIFA has any foresight (not likely), the US wouldn't be an option.

                                                Well, that was an anti climax. Interesting to see how spectators cope with the 50 degree heat!
