duh, that's not the point. 5 year and a billion bucks would easily have 10+ 40,000 seat stadium in literally our poorest and worst states on so many levels.
plus I think the casualty list would be significantly lower.

Just stadiums - yes; other infrastructure like airports, hotels, and transit - no

They should rotate between continents IMO.
USA / Mexico
Europe
South America
Asia
Keep the group games in the same general area to minimize travel.
For instance group A plays games in Portland, Seattle, California. Group B in Dallas, Houston, Mexico.

I agree that Asia needs to be represented. (Not sure why the OP left it out). But could you get these two countries to do something in tandem? Don't they still kind of hate each other from shite that went down way back in WWII?
Also, I kind of doubt FIFA would go with a set rotation. Aren't they kind of like the NFL where they extort, er I mean bid out the location based on stuff like what area builds stadiums, gives financial incentives, etc.

I was in South Africa in 2010 and they did a pretty awesome job.

Yea. No way the US was losing out on the bid to host the World Cup in 2022 to fricking Qatar

How do you think they actually won it once?

I've always thought Australia would make a good host. It may help boost the country's soccer status like the WC did for the US back in 94. (I know they don't have as many sports as America does, but domestic soccer is still a good ways behind behind rugby and Aussie Rules.)

Then those stadiums go to waste after and end up looking like shite. Your post is stupid on so many levels.
