The article above from CNN states that FIFA considers Brazil a strong possible host for 2014...ITS ABOUT TIME!

The article says that Brazil would have preference over Argentina and that in case Brasil didnt host a united Arg/Uruguay effort or Arg/Chile could happen.

FIFAs rotation as indicated by FIFA should be Germany, Africa, South America. So if Africa fails to host in 2010 Brazil could even step in as early as 2010.

Why would Argentina need to co-host?

Don't they have a ton of 40,000+ all-seaters already?

If Brazil hosts they will win.

I guess we can do what we did in 1950 then and print the papers before the game. Já ganhou.

But 2014 is the USSF's target year for the US's first cup title.. Hold the presses!
Besides, a home Brazilian crowd just isn't very intimidating like an Argentine crowd. The samba beat just never scared me that much. I've seen their fans in action in person and they just have a lot of fun and are great hosts for everyone.. (okay.. time to lay it on me!)

What you said makes sense. But applies to Argentines too. It's different if the tickets are cheap and hard-core fans can come to the games.

I doubt World Cup tickets will be cheap enough that the hard-core Corinthians and Flamengo fan groups could go. But if they are, watch out.

Okay.. Thanks.. When I was in Argentina it was club matches that impressed me. I never attended club matches in Brazil and have only seen them play in internationals so your statement makes perfect sense and clairifies things.

If Brazil doesnt host they still win 30% of the time. The one time they DID host, they lost! You never know.

brazil should defenitely host the cup, its time to replace those dumps (i mean stadiums)

So does this mean that North America will get the cup in 2018?
