It's nice to see UEFA say they would support a English or British bid for the 2030 World Cup. However, that's just a bunch of words. I'm quite sceptical of the "joint" US/Mexico/Canada bid and I'd be even more wary of a bid from England or the UK being fairly treated by FIFA. I think the fix is in for the North American bid for 2026 but I also believe the costs will be astronomical. I also think talk of FIFA "reform" is so much bs (notice I use small letters). I would turn the process around and force FIFA to prove they were worthy of having their precious World Cup in my country before granting them permission to seek a bid. I know, it would never happen but ever since the video showing Jack Warner claiming a story that ran in The Onion, a satirical weekly, was actually true (see link below, caution strong language is used) I would have as little to do with FIFA or UEFA (not to mention CONCACAF) doing business in my neighborhood.

Wonder if Selhurst Park would be one of the chosen stadiums?

2030? I'd better hope that whatever care home I'm in by then has Sky TV
