USA IMO should be the country to host the 2022 WC and I suggest making it US/Canada to sell the idea. Moving the WC to winter only because Qatar was awarded hosting is an insult to the sport. Qatar never qualified to the world cup. A very small nation of something like 250K citizens to host the biggest sporting event in the world is a crazy idea.

Now it seems that they want build the World cup "sporting" facilities using modern-day slavery as reported by BBC/ Guardian. How can this be allowed in 2022? how?

US has all the required elements to host the event plus by 2022 I imagine the sport will grow even bigger in North America

I'd love for some asian or oceanic countries to organize the world cup and olympic games as they make for fun and interesting travel locations.

Of course they're not. There's only one superpower on the planet at the moment with one in waiting, and it sure as hell ain't Russia. Russia's past status and current numerically large military give it delusions of grandeur, but in real terms it's power-projection capabilities are significantly weaker than France or Britain's, never mind the US, who spend more on defence than everyone else combined.

Russia could be somewhat labeled a superpower in terms of the nuisance and threats it can cause to other countries, which countries like France or Germany couldn't / wouldn't carry out

Russia can barely supply deployments within it's own country. They're not much of a threat to anyone militarily short of a nuclear deterrent that they wouldn't use and half a dozen other countries have anyway. It would be political suicide over there to acknowledge this though.

Hi, its me..
Fifa rules out the possibility of a Qatar summer World Cup in 2022

Fifa has completely ruled out any prospect of the Qatar 2022 World Cup being played in the summer.

President Sepp Blatter had already said the tournament would be in November or December but organisers had still hoped to host it in June and July.

But Fifa general secretary Jerome Valcke says it could take place between 15 November and 15 January.

How the hell is this supposed to work now?...Cut seasons short in domestic leagues?

Nonsensical farce letting Qatar hijack the World Cup but like many things these days, money talks
