Meh. It was still played in Africa. Who wants to play in the desert anyway. It would be absurd to play a WC in the desert

They have bribes to try and get the WC that was in France as well.

From an ESPN article:

quote:

The paper reports, after talking with Michel Bacchini -- a former FIFA director who worked as a consultant to the Moroccan bid team -- that former FIFA vice-president Jack Warner accepted a $1 million bribe from Morocco, but then double-crossed them and voted for South Africa.

This could have been the face of the World Cup.

Don't know about this and that bribe to host but IMO the 2002 WC was the most rigged.
