usa hosting is dumb, imo. we don't care or know anything about soccer, and we're pretty far from most of the europeans who want to go to it.

not to mention the attendance record

^ how bad was the attendance in 94?

it just seems to me like you're taking one of the most intense things in sports and ruining it by putting it in a place where no one really cares.

the usa doesn't have to own every sport in the world. let europe keep soccer, at least until our team can really compete, which will probably never happen.

S. Africa can't handle it?

Nobody can handle it, but we all seem to make it work...why not them?

Erm, the '94 World Cup attendance was the highest average per match since 1950. The total attendance was greater than '98, '02, and '06, even though the '94 WC only had 24 teams instead of 32, meaning far fewer matches. It was easily the best attended World Cup in history. Granted, most of this is because US football stadiums are much larger than European ones, but the fact is that people filled the available seats.

i stand by my statements!

That's fine, but brownie's suggestion that the attendance was poor is just plain wrong.

yea the world cup here in teh US was a huge success, just because americans wont go fill the stadiums, doesnt mean the soccer nuts across the world wont come here and watch..id love for it to be back here in 2010 or 18, this time ill be old enough to go on my own and experience what the world cup is like live

I would prefer to have the World Cup here more than the Olympics...
