    South Africa might not be able to pull it off in time.

    Exactly - if it's in this country I'm totally in. I would also think about going if Australia manages to snag it.

    True story: I've got some distant relatives in Germany - apparently they bought tickets to the final game this year for about 200 Euro each but wound up selling the tickets for about 2,000 apiece right before the game and watched from at home.

    Yeah, they added a few other considerations. Pretty much a strength-of-schedule type consideration. They figured out that we look good against our competition, but we're playing in the Sun Belt conference.

    Dammit, we're the Texas Tech of World Soccer. Overrated and never won it all.

    They should hold it at the spaceport in Burns Flat.

    Didn't the Swiss win the World Cup down in Australia the last time it was run and it's next being hosted by the Swiss in the Mediterranean?
