By 2026 every nation will be in the WC and every team will be guaranteed to get out of the group stage. Hell, everyone will probably be given a WC trophy too.Maximus_Meridius said:

I'm calling my shots now. There is no way FIFA plays a WC match in an indoor facility with grass laid down on top of an artificial surface.

You'd be wrong if you think they won't play a match there.

I do find it humorous/sad that much of the narrative has been centered around how current US politics made a US-only bid unlikely to succeed.

FIFA has pretty specific rules in their tournament manual they dictate they grades of surfaces they must play on. Grass over plastic won't meet the specs. They can always change them but there would be a big ass fight over it. They just recently wrote specs for artificial surfaces as part of the Women's WC. The turf has to be a certain minimum grade for blade and fill. Not saying they won't change them but as of now thise kinds of rolled over the top fields are not allowed. And I cannot imagine they would play on field turf.

Wouldn't it be cool if Kyle Field got to host a game or two?BMX Bandit said:mathguy86 said:wangus12 said:mathguy86 said:Quote:

Dallas & Houston both included in the bid for 2022.
Almost a certainty both will be in 2026 bid
