there are reports that the development is slow, and that they are now forcing people to work.

You probably weren't conceived yet when the last thread regarding this subject was posted on here, so I won't say Ballacks.

They paid to host it, they can pay to keep it.

Really? One of the worst bids in history isn't working out spectucuarly? Never could have seen that coming.

also Qatar hosted the Asian Games for soccer or some shite, it was the least attended games since it was hosted in Lebanon

Ballack is not impressed with Qatar's preparation.

I hope Qatar has a civil war or something to keep it from being playing there.

Whats the backup plan in the unlikely case that they can't host?

Yea, but they are going to have remote controlled clouds to reduce the heat!

You could host games in LA, Detroit, BR, NYC, and Bham. Just use Griff the crime dog.

At one point, 2/3 of my wardrobe was WC '94 T-Shirts and Umbro shorts.

Doubt these would be in the choices, but I could be wrong.

Well, considering that those cities were never a part of the US World Cup bid I am somewhat sure.
In April 2009, the U.S. identified 70 stadiums in 50 communities as possible venues for the tournament, with 58 confirming their interest.[11] The list of stadia was trimmed two months later to 38 existing venues, one scheduled for completion in 2010, and one proposed venue.[12] On August 20, 2009 the list was further trimmed down to 32 stadiums in 27 cities.[13] On January 12, 2010 the USA Bid Committee narrowed the 27 cities down to 18 as the official host cities for the United States' Bid for the 2018 or 2022 World Cup.[14]
Those 18 cities are: Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Miami, Nashville, New York City, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Diego, Seattle, Tampa and Washington, D.C.
Plus BHam is a shithole that noone really ever wants to go to.

Here is my venue idea:
1. Twelve stadiums, like Germany in 2006
2. Three stadiums per region - West, Northeast, Midwest, South
3. Two groups assigned to each region
4. Only outdoor 60,000+ seat stadiums considered
Assuming 70,000 average attendance, total attendance would be 4,410,000. The previous record is 3,587,538 from the last time it was here, so it increase the record by 25%.
West Region:
Seattle, Denver, Phoenix
Midwest Region:
Kansas City, Chicago, Dallas
South Region:
Houston, Nashville, Miami
Northeast Region:
Boston, New York, Washington
West Round of 16:
Seattle
Phoenix
Dallas
Kansas City
East Round of 16:
New York
Miami
Nashville
Washington
Quarters:
Denver
Houston
Boston
Chicago
Semis:
Dallas
New York
Final:
Washington
