Remind me again why the world cup isn't hosted in this country. If not every time, then at least on time every 20 years or something. Keep in mind that these are some of the smaller stadiums they could arrange and we could probably have a world cup with 20 90k+ seat stadiums.
The world cup could be successfully hosted in California alone
Because FIFA love getting kickbacks off infrastructure "investment".
Because there isn't a overwhelming love of association football.
Because bench seats might ramp up capacity figures but actually mean a stadium would score awfully when you graded it. FIFA use a similar system to UEFA.

>>68167037
Because they're all fucking thousands of miles apart.
England is objectively the best country to host World Cups and/or Euros in. But they should move around the world like they do anyway, it'd be dumb to host it in the same place repeatedly.
>>68167482
see
>>68167145
if distance is an issue for you
>>68167510
Yes, which diminishes the purpose of hosting it in murka. Also you have to factor in FIFA regulations. Does California have 12 stadiums in at least 11 different cities? I don't know that's why I'm asking. But I doubt California could match England for stadia, and not only that California is bigger than England thus the venues are further apart. And public transport in murka is fucking shit so good luck getting everyone to move around comfortably.
>>68167608
>Does California have 12 stadiums in at least 11 different cities?
Los Angeles L.A. Memorial Coliseum 93 607
Pasadena Rose Bowl Stadium 92 542
San Diego Qualcomm Stadium 71 294
Santa Clara Levi's Stadium 68 500
Berkeley Memorial Stadium 63 186
Oakland O.co Coliseum 63 026
Stanford Stanford Stadium 50 000
Fresno Bulldog Stadium
San Jose Spartan Stadium 30 456
well, that makes 9
>>68167827
Also are all of them suitable for hosting World Cup games? I know a bunch of the big stadiums in amerifatland don't even have real seats, it's just a bunch of benches.
>>68167941
College stadiums are the ones with benches mostly.
All the NFL stadiums besides green bay have seats I'm pretty sure.
>>68167482
You could host the entire World Cup in California, New York, And Texas without having to build a single stadium. Not to mention if you did it regionally you could host it literally anywhere in the country and we wouldn't even have to destroy rainforests or use Tibetan slave labor
>>68167963
And then you still have the problem with California, New York and Texas being thousands of miles apart. You could definitely do it with local multi-state regions but there's no region you could do it in that is anywhere near as small as England. Face it, no matter what you say you can't match England. I guess murka could plough millions of dollars into building a bunch of white elephant stadiums if you must, but just using current infrastructure nobody comes close to England. We'd definitely use the money to improve some infrastructure if we got the World Cup but it'd all continue to be used to its full potential after the World Cup.
>>68168495
CA is building the hyperloop, connecting LA and SF, plus LA is building another soccer stadium, and the Inglewood stadium which will be the best in the world upon its completion.
>>68167037
Americans would literally get furious if it was here every four years. Not even joking, there would be legit protests.
>>68167827
LA has an NFL stadium under construction.
because the US is a boring shitty country with no football culture
even qatar has more football fans than usa
>>68168640
So two more LA stadiums which means you can knock the Rose Bowl and the Memorial Coliseum off this list >>68167827
The "hyperloop" sounds like a good start but you've still got a long way to go with public transport.
Also most/none of your stadiums are dedicated football stadiums which is a negative no matter which way you twist it.
>>68167037
Because FIFA love bribes and fraud; when they host it somewhere new or different, they get paid extra to do so.
Also because America, on average, sees more innocents die in gunfights than every other country in the world added together. Something to think about
>>68167037
because fifa is corrupt and politicians are corrupt
Stadium capacity isn't everything.
Americans can't even play the correct national anthem for teams and all their venues are baseball stadiums largely unfit for FIFA regulations
>>68168972
True say, You need a couple of cheeky 30,000~ stadiums in there for your run of the mill Saudi Arabia v Cameroon games and the like. England has enough large stadiums for the important big games.
>>68168495
Host between DC and New York. Plenty of cities, stadiums, hotels, and airports all connected by various trains and busses. Happy?
>>68167037
Because we don't want it. Traffic is bad enough without a bunch of Europeans milling about and whining about the lack of socialist vegan abortion clinics.
>>68169074
Not to mention enough Arabs and Africans to actually fill those games.
>>68169184
Otherwise they can import Greeks who look like Arabs
>>68169193
We look like Turks though.
>>68169101
Give me 12 stadiums in the NY-DC corridor, include New England if you'd like too, and the stadiums must be split by no less than 11 cities, all must be at least 30,000 attendance and equipped for hosting football, and at least half of them must be over 50,000.
>>68167608
You realize every stadium has shuttles from every hotel now. That along with every tourist trap imaginable built around them.
>>68169223
Turks and Arabs are literally the same people divided by linguistic borders
The US is nearly as big as all of Europe. If you host a world cup or the olympics in US, it has to be confined to 1 city or state, as thats the equivalent of a European country.
>>68169252
Alternatively, a single average European city has as much history as an American state.
>>68169236
It's the transportation between the vast distances between your cities that is the main issue. And your internal flights are prohibitively expensive and the TSA is a fucking joke so if you're expecting people to take several flights try again.
>>68169269
>muh history
The US was a fucking uninhabited island for centuries. No fucking shit European cities have more "history".
Oh and in the current day, your precious European cities are developing no history while everything is happening in the states.
>>68168640
that hyperloop wont be completed until 2030.
>>68169229
You realize baseball stadiums can host soccer games right. Yankee Stadium had 50k show up for Real Madrid vs AC Millan. There are plenty of football and baseball stadiums around that area.
It really should be passed between GOAT England and GOAT Germany with the occasional venture elsewhere sell shirts to chinks. Two best countries by a distance to host WC
>>68169311
>uninhabited
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>68169340
who
>>68169329
Weve all seem those horror pics of footy pitches stuffed at an off angle into boreball stadiums. The Italians would refuse to play in such ghastly surroundings
>>68169229
1. Beaver Stadium (106,000)-University Park, PA
2. MetLife (82,500)-East Rutherford, NJ
3. Fed Ex (82,000)-Landover, MD
4. M&T Bank (71,000)-Baltimore, MD
5. Lincoln (70,000)-Philadelphia, PA
6. Heinz (70,000)-Pittsburgh, PA
7. Gillette (68,000)-Foxborough, Mass
8. Franklin (52,000)-Philadelphia, PA
9. Byrd (51,000)-College Park, MD
10. Carrier Dome (49,000)-Syracuse, NY
11. Alumni (44,000)-Chestnut Hill, MAss
Why "no less than 11 cities", though? That seems extremely restrictive.
>>68169274
Obviously you've never been to California.. LA would have 4 stadiums 21 miles form each other.. SF would have 3 less than 40 from each other.
>>68169424
And if Pittsburgh is too far away, it can be replaced with High Point Stadium (NJ, 52000 seats) or Navy Stadium in Annapolis (30000)
>>68167037
The reason is corruption. Football is already popular in the Arab world.
After the USA got conned out of hosting, the Americans went after FIFA.
Funny by the way, how FIFA corruption was an English obsession, yet in the end the English media were fully vindicated.
>>68169424
As an SU student, I'm not sure if my city could actually support an additional 50,000 people showing up. Also the yuros would flip their shit since it's an 'indoor' stadium.
>>68169375
To be fair, the Italians are barely more relevant than us currently.
>>68169331
Unironically this, though. With the occasional trip to South America and maybe letting us host one every 30 years.
>>68169497
>>68169433
>>68169424
It's not about how large your stadiums are, what's the point when the crowd is filled with casual Ameriblobs who've never watched a game.
I'd rather watch a game in Estonia with a capacity of 5,000 than in one of your 90,000 domes.
>>68169274
The groups would be centered on regions
Worst case scenario is a Greyhound from Portland to Seattle or Boston to NYC, transport is not a problem
Following a World Cup in person is hardly a poor man's endeavour in any case
>>68169578
99.999% of the audience is watching on TV
No one cares about your Alan Partridge view of America
>>68169578
>when the crowd is filled with casual Ameriblobs who've never watched a game.
casual ameriblobs do this >>68169633
they sure as hell wouldn't pay for a ticket and travel, except maybe to see a USA group stage game
>>68169578
>It's not about how large your stadiums are
The guy I was responding to (not sure if it was you or not)>>68169229 seemed to think it was about that, since he only asked for football stadiums with a minimum capacity of 30,000 each.
>>68169578
I am sure their would be tons of people wearing turbans in the stands to make it what you are used to.
>>68169578
>implying that casual American fans would even go to games
The stadiums would be full of latinos and foreigners, the Americans would all be watching baseball or something.
>>68169375
Good, we have enough wop shits here already. They can keep their greasy asses at home then.
>>68169594

Who the fuck in their right mind would want to go there?
>>68169773
>implying clap land could ever host a successful WC without the all encompassing travel support of the european fans.
Half fulled beaner stadiums aren't successful. It would be disasterous without England
>>68170068
as far as I know, they're still all in California, which was precisely what was asked here
none of those use bench seats
>>68167037
If you're actually interested in why, only Italy, France, Germany and Brazil have hosted the World Cup twice. And there are plenty of other serious footballing nations with an appropriate level of infrastructure to do so, let alone those that would like to host it for the second time - Spain, Russia, England. Given that the US hosted it only 22 years ago, it is unlikely you will be a viable candidate for a long time.
>>68170256
I live in Cali, in LA, and trust me it would be awful. Traffic is already bad, the distance from LA stadia, san diego, and Northern California is way too much.
Just leave it in England desu
>>68170282
>Brazil
No.
>>68168495
distance isnt a problem and never has been
see: Brazil
US is pretty shit for hosting these events because of lack of good public transport.
>>68169252
the us is bigger than all of Europe
what is wrong with the people in this thread?
>>68170255
>the US can't fill up their own stadiums without yuropoors
We literally have hundreds of real football games a week that are attended, you are not needed or wanted. In fact I hope Trump bans yuropoors from visiting during the event. There's no reason to ruin an American event by turning it into the worlds largest display of skinny jeans and homosexuality.
>>68170377
>the us is bigger than all of Europe
"No." Europe is bigger in both population and area.

But Russia is a part of Europe. Canada isn't a part of the United States, they're a part of North America. Surely you can't be retarded enough to not know the difference between a continent and a country.

They try to set the same-group games in stadium "close" to each others, actually.
Games will be held in Marseille and Lille in the next Euro, yet those 2 cities are more than 1000 km appart.
>>68170556
the whole of russia is never included in europe tho. it is only included in continental discussions, which is not what this was
Fuck off. We don't want your shitty sport.

>>68170728
And there's literally nothing a jungle terrorist such as yourself can have an opinion on that anyone should respect.
>>68167037
Because becoming a host city takes a level of bribery and dishonesty so brazen that only third-world shitholes will ever host again.
I repeat
You will never, ever see a world cup in america or western europe, ever again.
>>68170802
will probably see one in spain, portugal, or italy since they're all fucked as well.

>>68171039

Well shit he should've said so then.
>>68170920
>>stadiums 1000s of miles apart
Other anons have posted lists of 20+ football stadiums in the Northeastern US alone (roughly the size of Germany) that could work for the World Cup.
>stadiums built for other sports
There's not much difference between football stadiums and soccer stadiums, it's easy to just repaint the lines to suit one or the other as long as there's grass. We do it for international friendlies all the time, and you guys do it for the NFL London games.
>80% of the country hates football
You're confusing indifference with hatred, only a tiny minority of people actually hate soccer. Most people just don't care about it.
>American sports are about the spectacle not the game so there'd be a half time performance that ruins the pitch
What makes you think that? We didn't do that for the '94 WC, or for any of the Olympic sports that have been hosted here.
>>68169424
FIFA regulations. You can have one city with two stadiums but every other city can only have one stadium.
>>68169433
No it wouldn't, you'd only be able to have three from those two cities at a maximum.
>>68169673
That guy here. They don't all have to be huge but they obviously need to be a certain minimum size. 30,000 is the bare minimum, and then a good chunk of them do need to actually be large. It's more important to have a good balance of reasonable and large sized stadiums in the right locations than a bunch of huge stadiums.
>>68171131
please don't post logic on /sp/
our flag means we have to be retarded
>>68171131
We have great football stadiums in the US and we don't need a bunch of slimeballs fucking it up with their greasy divegrass
The US called FIFA out on their rampant corruption.
Have fun in Zika land and Muzzie land, assholes. You deserve worse
>>68171150
In that case, the Northeastern US (basically DC to Massachusetts) would be perfect. You have nearly two dozen stadiums with at least 30,000 seats in the area, and 7 or 8 of them have 60,000-80,000 seats.
The fucking SEC could host a World Cup. A small amount of our amateur sports stadiums could literally and easily host the largest sporting event in the world.
>povertyball
>>68171196
we already had fun in zika land
>>68171253
No, they couldn't, FIFA rules don't allow standing sections or bleachers. You need stadium with seats. The North could do it though.

The rest of the english-speaking world calls it soccer, including the country with the majority of native speakers. You are the only ones who call it football.
>>68172021
That's not true at all. Most of the English-speaking world (UK, India, Nigeria, Kenya, etc.) calls it football, but the US, Canada, Australia, South Africa, and some of the Irish call it "soccer". The Japanese call it soccer too, but obviously they're not part of the English-speaking world.
>>68172079
>India
>Nigeria
>Kenya
>South Africa
>English-speaking
Just because it's an official language used it government doesn't mean people there actually speak it on a day-to-day basis. You're going to hear Hindi or Punjab or any of the other shit (lel) ton of languages spoken on the streets in India, Swahili in Kenya, etc.
Countries that actually use English every day by and large call it soccer.
>>68172021
Soccer is a nickname, first coined in England. The name of the sport is and always will be football. It doesn't matter what you call it, you're irrelevant.
>>68167145
And Texas.

Cut it out with the California shit. We have fucking planes. The country isn't too big. You can get from one city to the next in 2-3 hours. The same as a bus ride from Gloucester upon Faggot to Tiddlywinks in Engayland
