        True. The Olympics were a different beast then. - Reagen Dec 2, 10:18 2

    - My issue is that they wouldn't have gotten it if they didn't buy votes and why does the U.S. not deserve it? - Krusty Dec 2, 10:00
    - Curious why you don't feel the US doesn't deserve it. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 2, 09:57 14
      - they've had it not too long ago and most Americans have no clue what it is. -- nm - CQ Dec 2, 09:59 13

        yeah, true, but it's just another passing fancy. it'll be the hot topic and fade away like always here -- nm - CQ Dec 2, 10:12 2
        
        oh, i disagree. it likely will never be a major viewing sport here, but it's shown pretty steady growth in interest since '94 imo.....nm - x Dec 2, 10:15
        
        MLS's continuing success says otherwise. -- nm - Reagen Dec 2, 10:14
        
        this is completely untrue though i agree that it's too soon since 94 for the us to get it again....nm - x Dec 2, 10:07
        
        possibly, but they had the highest attendence when it was in the us. - tRuMaN Dec 2, 10:02 5

        That's 7 cycles....what region won't have reaped the rewards in that duration? - Will Hunting Dec 2, 10:09 3
        
        Oceania! New Zealand 2026!! -- nm - Roger More Dec 2, 10:16
        
        middle east, but yeah, russia could draw there too. -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 2, 10:11
        
        technically, Russia counts as part of Europe, as they are part of UEFA, iirc -- nm - znufrii Dec 2, 10:10
        
        Sure but by 2022 it would have been 28 since we hosted the cup. -- nm - Krusty Dec 2, 10:01
        
        They knew just fine in 1994. -- nm - Reagen Dec 2, 10:00
