San Diego would be jumping if there were games in SD and Tijuana on back to back days.

If this came to pass, I'm certain that FIFA would do all that they could to make sure that the host countries played group games on their own soil. FIFA is none too subtle about their desires to help the host teams advance. (See S. Korea 2002)

Meh, kind of, but not really. With 48 teams in groups of 3 now, there won't ever be a true group of death ever again.

So from what I understand, we would be playing all our games at home, correct?

Well I think all hosts are guaranteed home games through quarterfinals, and then all games after that are in the US.
