Britain/Ireland may bid to host World Cup 2030

This is exactly why it's in the news this week. England are likely to be asked to bail out Euro 2020, but they'd hate to think that this half-capacity tournament counts as their tournament and they wouldn't get a chance to host anything for another 40 years. I think they want to get it known that they're looking to host 2030 before the decision for 2020 is made, and to bring that into the negotiations for 2020.

Be very interesting the 100th anniversary because it they give it to South American bid because of that Italy will want 2034 and so on they might make the decision no anniversaries.

Minimum stadium capacity not 40,000 for WC? Windsor not even half of that

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. Baltic one would be brilliant!
