If 2030 WC bid is successful, grounds like Old Trafford may not get games as the area around the pitch is too tight....not enough room for photographers etc

Is this the reason modern football stadiums are so far from the pitch? I hate that

I always assumed it was to do with the advertising hoardings.

Yeah me too, Fifa competitions usually have 2 rows of hoardings these days. One with the sponsors, and the next with the branding/logos

Hard to see it not going to South America given it'll be 100th anniversary of the 1st one

Money talks

The Brits have learned their lesson since 2010 and the failed expedition of the Three Lions to Zurich

The only thing that can scupper a British Isles victory is Irish involvement in the bid

You'd imagine the Scots will have our cards well and truly marked this time after the "bid" for Euro 2008

Think there are too many voiced in this bid. 5 associations is just too much. There would hardly be 5 automatic qualifiers would there? Or would if be an England tournament and they get the spot but will also use like 2 stadia in Scotland, 1 in Wales, 1 in NI and 2 in Ireland. And then just if we also qualify on our own merit then we would get home matches? Similar to past rugby World cups

All 2030 bids are going to be joint bids so there's expected to be no automatic qualifications for this one.

South American nations of Uruguay, Paraguay, Argentina and Chile

Joint African bid of Morocco with Algeria and Tunisia

Spain and Portugal

Scandanavian joint bid of Norway, Sweden and Denmark

and finally the baltic joint bid of Romania, Greece, Bulgaria and Serbia.

I'd imagine the South American nations are the firm favourites with it being 100 years since the first WC in Uruguay.

It’s a fair long walk from the Baltic to Romania Greece and Bulgaria and Serbia. Then again you do like a long walk.

The Nordies bring absolutely nothing to the table here. They should be jettisoned. 5 associations is too much.

Suppose if it is all similar type joint bids then we may as well through our hats in. The last south america tournament had a lot of issues

It’s an English bid and they are throwing some group games/2nd rounds to Scotland / Wales / NI and Rep of Ireland.

It does seem too many nations.

Keep it simple : England & Scotland for example.

I would think if England bail UEFA out for the Euros.

This would be a big boost to their chances of hosting 2030

Yer that's my take on it also .

Still by the time that comes around i am sure FIFA will have 96 Countries in the finals .

Yeah I don't see why the North is included and that just harms the bid. This is probably are only chance of qualifying for a WC too so while SA probably gets it I really hope we do.

FIFA would love that "we bring countries together" angle and the good image it would bring to have games in Dublin and Belfast
