Maybe not alone but a joint bid from North African countries would be interesting.

It isn’t a recent thing - the eye watering FIFA documentary showed that
Blatter had a brainwave and decided that they could bring money in through sponsorship - fair enough - but that was one of the roots of it all £££ wise as they went on the hyperload with it and it snowballed and snowballed
I think that’s where a lot of the “sell it to the highest bidder” attitude stemmed from
And wherever there’s money money money you’ll find corruption lurking around the corner
As mentioned - this doesn’t apply just to football. (a lot of) humans are greedy - that will never change unfortunately

This sadly. Most people are sheep. Sportswashing is basically saying look, everyone look at this you love this aren't we great, whilst all the while commiting crimes of the highest order.
People saying they loved the football and wasn't it great. In stadia people died building.
About the only people showing any balls at this event were the Iranian players. Kane wouldn't even take a yellow card for fucks sake.

German's too ironically enough. Given Southgate history of political involvement with the England team they should be extra ashamed.

History's not on your side with that one mate.
Mexico City and Guadalajara maybe.
Vancouver's lovely, if that's a Canadian venue.

Aye, we've holidayed in Granada and Seville. Think they might have gotten over things by now but maybe not.

There's also the small matter of the Spanish Sahara.

Aye, you are right, but the money is coming from genocidal homophobic fascist states now. It's sickening
