WTF You are pretty naïve here. FIFA are all about making money for themselves and their associates. No way in the world would they want a WC in Australia where the government are not gonna bend on laws. In Brazil and Sth Africa local laws were broken/bent that badly to exploit the country for FIFA's gain. They are still pissed about what happened in Germany where the locals wouldn't play ball.

No WC anytime soon is going to a Western Nation who has pretty firm laws that will not see the government easily concede to FIFA's demands.

It ain't about the crowds or the people. It is all about the money.

Crowds will go to the WC wherever it is on the planet. Qatar will be well supported regardless of the bullshit predictions the media make just as Russia will be well supported regardless of how the western media continue to demonise Putin and Russia for not bending over and taking it up the arse to accommodate US interests.

FIFA ain't missing anything by avoiding us. They actually will gain more by not coming here
I wasn't talking in monetary terms. Of course they went with the countries who filled their pockets the most.

For the good of the game, which FIFA don't have in mind, I'm saying they missed an opportunity to expand a growing market in Australia.
