No surprise; irrespective of the bids, this was always going to where the big money is for FIFA.

Russia, Qatar, now America, next one will be far east $$$$$$$

Only for the fans & players............. Not for the moneymen

That will be pretty cool, though perhaps not if your group games are in Vancouver, then Mexico City then New York or something travel crazy.

Obviously all about money but I don't get it. How will that work, and does it mean 3 teams auto qualify as hosts?

****ing rubbish.

3rd WC in Mexico since 1970, 2nd US since 1994. And **** all for us since 66. Would love a World Cup over here.

No more than for a South American or Central American tournament.

Its going to be a 48 team tournament, so will allow for 3 host nations

Plus the possibility of humungous climate changes

Surely a combined GB bid could work then?

Its been 20 years since we've been to the World Cup, and I don't even have the intrigue of hoping England won't win it and worrying that they could to keep me interested any more.

Don't think that will ever happen, now we have joined the other 7 countries hosting the joint Euro 2020; i can't see it ever coming back to a single country again.

Especially with a 48 team tournament

That'll be the only realistic chance of Scotland ever playing in a WC again.

We were so close last time... but...

It’s so important. I’ve got two sons and neither give a **** about football. The World Cup and Scotland being there was what hooked me in as a kid and I’d love them to witness the same.

We do have the Semis and Finals of the next Euros in England. But thats as close as were gonna get for a long long time I fear.
