airplane Posted February 19 Posted February 19 (edited) It’s clearly not safe to host it there Edited February 19 by airplane 1
byzantium Posted February 19 Posted February 19 Yes, let’s have Russia host again to make the Europeans happy.
Squall Posted February 19 Posted February 19 Football is not even relevant in the US, not sure why they gave it to them in the first place (even though they are not the only ones hosting it).
Georgette Posted February 19 Posted February 19 Yes America is a very unsafe place. Too much gun violence

Bonicap Posted February 19 Posted February 19 You are talking about a tournament that has been hosted by Qatar, Russia and Brazil in the last three editions. 1 2 1

In percentage it isn't, but in absolute numbers there are still many people interested in football in the US. Also, recently the world cup has been hosted by countries like South Africa or Japan where football is far from being the most relevant sport. Edited February 19 by abrantino

byzantium Posted February 19 Posted February 19 Just now, Squall said: What wins? The World Cup… …now we are just talking in circles.

loveisdead9582 Posted February 19 Posted February 19 I haven’t even heard of half of the shootings you mentioned and they all come from a source that I haven’t heard of either. The KC shooting after the superbowl was odd to be sure and RIP to victim, but do you seriously think that an area that will be heavily watched is less safe than some impromptu parade/gathering with open access? Be real.
Bloodflowers. Posted February 19 Posted February 19 We are 2 years away from World Cup, things might change
choerry Posted February 19 Posted February 19 Well no. When we host it it’ll obviously have security like every other sporting event. Secondly, while soccer isn’t huge in the US yet it is growing. Us hosting the World Cup is part of a recent push to grow soccer here. That’s how we got Messi here. Also, speaking as someone that’s been to four world cups, I’m excited to get cheaper ticket prices and not have to go so far for once.
constantinople Posted February 19 Posted February 19 I think it's so funny that americans try to despise the truly football but it's their second time hosting it. The first time back in 1994 they were beaten by Brazil on the 4th of July.
Cheers Posted February 19 Posted February 19 Please don't joke about that. I need to hook up with some hot DL football players. 1

Kamil24 Posted February 19 Posted February 19 (edited) The Canadian and Mexican cities for this world cup are safer at least. Edited February 19 by Kamil24

Just because football isn’t popular with gringos doesn’t mean the World Cup shouldn’t be hosted here. Football is very popular with Latinos and other groups.
