Joint Bid


I think FIFA says they prefer not to have multiple hosts. However, if it improved our chances, I wouldn't be opposed to it, as long as we get the final.

CFL is fine i have no idea what he's talking about


They averaged 30k people a game and have an effective Salary Cap as low as the MLS. CFL's is 4.25 mil. MLS's salary cap before Designated Player exemption is 3.1 mil i'm pretty sure.

When would Euro Cup and other continental cups take place?

4 years is barley enough time for the host nations to prepare , 2 years could be potentially disastrous if workers decided to strike.

Def.

Maybe Hamilton?

If we can get then let's go Canada. I'd definitely make that trip assuming I'm still alive in 14 freaking years. Can't believe I will be into my forties and still have not seen a World Cup.
