As said earlier on a previous post - it just doesn't feel the same when it is hosted in 3 different Countries. Fifa are doing their best to ruin the most popular Sporting Tournament in the world. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elhombrecito Posted October 4, 2023 Report Share Posted October 4, 2023 The 2030 World Cup is to be played on three continents after Morocco, Portugal and Spain won the race to host the 48-team tournament but Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay were gifted the opening three matches. World Cup 2030 will involve teams playing in six countries, each of which will qualify automatically. The tournament has never been played on more than one continent. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open End Numb Legs Posted October 4, 2023 Report Share Posted October 4, 2023 Sounds like it will test the sleep pattern gurus in the teams affected by time zone travel. So the shirt sleeves will say 'World Cup 2030 Morocco, Portugal, Spain, Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay' They are gonna need a bigger shirt. It all sounds extremely messy. Well, cr4p really.

handsofclay Posted October 4, 2023 Report Share Posted October 4, 2023 (edited) That will mean that since England last hosted the World Cup, Mexico would have held it 3 times and Germany, Spain, Argentina and USA twice each.

If they want a centenary and 48 teams needs a few up host nations- Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay and make the lowest ranked or to mix it up, the highest ranked of the 3 want their place via qualification.

They can't even use the 'new money to improve the infrastructure' argument. What happened to the stadiums in SA? Almost as if having a top drawer Prem Stadium selection is a bad thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
