I'd like to see odds on "Qatar bid falls apart and USA is awarded bid in March 2022" though.
the spiritual home of football
I cannot help but feel a little irony when Australia (whom I'd have loved to host it) and the US complain strongly about the WC going to a "non-football" country. Given, it's greater in both countries than in Qatar, but it's still more of a niche in both, their leagues don't matter a bit and the US don't even call it by its real name.
The name it's been called by in the rest of the world, which actually contains 50% of the entire original one.
And in the big scheme of things, the MLS is not really important in the world of football. Which never said it's not justifying it giving the WC to the US, it was merely saying that there is an irony when some arguments are being brought up against Qatar that are not all that much different to the US (or Australia). As I also said, in general they would have more weight and from a sports point would "deserve" it more, Australia especially since it, as opposed to the US, has never held a WC before.
And further, it was also a bit of a light-hearted comment, as it should be clear that whether one calls it football or soccer doesn't really make that much of a difference.
