Burgess in the NZ Herald ran through the likely WC venues after Quatar and Russia. Looks like the USA is next then China then Argies/Uruguay to celebrate 100 years for something. Europe will need a turn then. He thought 2050 might be the optimum slot for an OZ/NZ bid.
Christ!!!!...thats in 35 years. I will be dead or in some old folks home dribbling down my chin and pissing my pants by then....hope I can still use the remote by then
2050 NZ will be a vastly different place. Auckland will have more than 2 million people. We have no idea what our infrastructure, transport and stadia will look like by then. Westpac, Eden Park will both be old tired stadia by then....they certainly will need major overhalls...hopefully knocked down and rebuilt as rectangles.
Blatter will be long gone by 2050. Who knows the call might be that Oz finally deserves to host the WC and sharing with NZ will be the only way the Oceania fed gets a chance to get WC hosting action.
Its all very unlikely but 35 years is a long way out and anything is possible.
The nice thing about this debate is its perfect timing with the U20 WC starting next month. The media are talking football now. Well done Martin Snedden
