    Dont know why you are so sure, TBH. One of them will be in England AFAIC.

    Probably 2018. We may get the 2022. Lets just hope it intices the government to build more stadiums and hopefully football friendly stadiums :).

    I actually think Australia would be quite a good host for the WC, although obviously I'd prefer England got it.

    I genuinely believe, if all goes to plan, England WILL get 2018 and Australia WILL get 2022.

    Look at the other competitors:

    Belgium-Netherlands - FIFA hates dual bids and they won't get 2022 if England get 2018 which is looking likely.

    Indonesia - LOL...

    Japan - Only recently had a World Cup. I also doubt Japan's ability to host a World Cup by itself, it would need to again be dual like it was in 2002, but again it's too recent.

    Mexico - Swine flu + bad infrastructure

    Portugal-Spain - Same boat as Netherlands-Belgium. It's a dual bid and it's European.

    Russia - Distance between stadiums and the fact it's also European.

    United States - Only recently had a World Cup.

    Qatar - LOL...

    South Korea - Only recently had a World Cup. I also doubt Korea's ability to host a World Cup by itself, it would need to again be dual like it was in 2002, but again it's too recent.

    So that leaves England and Australia.

    Yeah, the new stadiums are what would have me pumped. It'd be great for the NRL as well. I'd love if they built a nice 45,000 seat stadium in Sydney with red and green seating. :p
