FYI, this topic is already under discussion in the International forum here: Women's World Cup in Jeopardy? and here: Asian World Cup Qualifying Postponed, in the Spirit forum here: Spirit Players on SARS & WWC in China and in the Beat forum here: Dr. Mike, SARS, and the 2003 WWC (Not Beat Related).

Modest proposal: go to Australia instead. Wasn't it the place where it was supposed to go at first?

Modest proposal: Lock this and discuss it in the international forum where it belongs.

If SARS keeps it from southeast Asia, I seriously doubt it'll take place in Australia. Look at a globe some time.

As far as "supposed" to go to Australia. That was never the case. I believe Australia was the first country to show interest in hosting the Cup, but that's not the same thing.

Sorry, Nat. Did you get my postcard?

Please continue discussion in the International Forum, the Infectious Disease Forum or the General Panic Forum. I think there are enough threads on this topic already. Whether the WWC will be in China or Australia is not really a WUSA topic. Thread closed.
