WORLD CUP HOSTS and the ROTATION SYSTEM;a mere pipe dream?

[brunoc]

the installation of a new system of picking who hosts the world cup has had many smile.it does seem very democratic.yet time will test just how practical it is...
Think about it.How many countries in Asia can host such a tourney?How about Africa?Even South America?
This is not about questioning the ability of anyone being a host;just a brainstormer.A bit of critical thinking.
Personally,i believe that on average,Europe comprises of the best hosts.It is located on the most strategic time zone and geographically,it lies at the epicenter of football fanatism.
While most other continents share an equal love of the game,the question of time zones arises.
Mexico would almost claim to have hosted 2 of the best WCs.1970 and 1986.
Personally,at the risk of annoying many,i believe the USA was the best host ever.First,the chubby populace thronged the venues in ways never seen before.Crowds averaged over 70,000 albeit the smell of popcorn in the scorching summer.
your thoughts please.....

I BELEIVE WITH WHAT YOU SAID. BUT I BELEIVE EVERY CONTINENT SHOULD HAVE A TURN OF HOSTING THIS MAGICAL EVENT!

Simply someone is always disadvantaged in regards to time differences. I'm more inclined to go with countries hosting rather than continents. I think with the game becoming truly global now and the evident push towards keeping it that way should see all countries who are capable of hosting and meeting all the criteria, such as security, stadium capacity and safety etc, should have the opportunity. It's a huge event and raises huge revenue. The holding of such a tournament is a privilege that all who can host with sufficient expertise should share in experiencing.

Mexico got '86 because Columbia pulled out... or did FIFA pull out? I don't remember, but I agree the US was a great host, and like the Olympics should be repeated. Thanks for asking something intelligent.
