[edit] Mistake???

If FIFA said that the 2014 world cup would be held in South America, than why does this article say that the USA and Australia are candidates

Would this World Cup even take place? With all the possible events that might happen on 2012?

Sorry, but what exactly is going to happen in 2012? NaLaochra 01:30, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

IIRC, Blatter suggested moving it forwards 2 years, why, i dont know, but its most likely not going to happpen. I think it's safe to say it will happpen in 2014. Vaud 02:08, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

why is the article talking about the U.S. or an asian country hosting the 2014 world cup, when the paragraph before it states that FIFA has already given the hosting duties to South America? Vaud 23:25, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

well, since the 2014 World Cup is taking place in South America, i guess i will go ahead and change this article to reflect that, and delete the part about the US, china, etc hosting it, as already said, it is to take place in south america. if that changes in the future, then obviously this article will be changed to reflect that Vaud 20:15, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

I am the original poster, and what I meant is what if the so called Mayan Prophecies take place and major things are altered? What would happen with the World Cup?

Well, if the world's gonna supposedly end in 2012, obviously this would not take place. Anywho, unless you can fortell the future, i say this article stays..imho, of course. Vaud 04:56, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

I agree with vaud if it is going to be in South America how can Asia and North America be bidding?

Well, it is still not 100% certain that the World Cup will be held in South America. It has been said that FIFA will most likely have a south american country host it, but it is still not certain. Also, the south american confederation has chosen to let Brazil host the world cup, if in fact it is held in south america. While yes, it wouldnt hurt to discuss other countries/continents hosting the world cup, i personally think this article should be written as if south america will be hosting it, and maybe a section called 'other proposed bids' or something like wise, to talk about the other countries/continents hopeing to be allowed to bid..

O.K. so I decided that since from what has been said by FIFA so far, with South America most likely being the host continent, i went ahead and put the South American Bids in on catagory, and for all the other continents, i put them under a 2nd catagory.. Vaud 03:12, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Some errors

Australia is not part of the Asian confederation, but part of the confederation of Oceania.

Second, CONCACAF (Confederation of North, Central America and Caribean Association of Football, or something like that) is no longer its name, rather it is simple Confederation of Football.

Fernando Gómez.

Actually, Australia is part of the Asian Confederation, after the 2006 World Cup. As for CONCACAF, considering its official website calls it as such, it should be referenced here as CONCACAF. Vaud 20:01, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

Moved per consensus. --Pkchan 13:13, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Australia planning to bid.

It may be too late but Australia still haven't given up on bidding for the 2014 World Cup. This article seems to suggest that they are planning to bid for either the 2014 or 2018 World Cup (probably both). Western Australia backs World Cup bid - NEWS.com.au

It now looks the Australia will only be bidding on the 2018 Cup: http://www.theage.com.au/news/soccer/world-cup-bid-for-2018-gets-political-clout/2006/07/14/1152637870779.html

[edit] Jordan/Iraq Bid

The referenced article is from 2004, since nothing really has been heard about a proposed Jordan/Iraq bid since then, should we include them in this article? Vaud 00:00, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
