I am stunned that England were knocked out in the first round of voting.

Here's the kicker: We can't win 2026/2030 either due to confederation rotation. So 2034 is the earliest another asian country can host.

And china has indicated it wants in. :suicide:

Australia 2046 :aussie:

Australia 20never. :aussie:

Not surprised at all that we didn't win. I am surprised that Qatar won though. I was expecting the US. I knew FIFA would go where the money was though. Once I saw Australia was ranked last on profitability I knew we were fucked no matter what.

And Qatar was listed as a high-risk option back in June. Still, Sepp Blatter will be able to afford a bigger yacht, so someone's smiling.

Makes no sense does it. Nor does the whole process or FIFA in general.

It makes perfect sense when you assume corruption is rife.

I am now resigned to the fact that I'll never see the World Cup played in Australia in my lifetime.

I dunno. I heard something on the news about Australia being last. Maybe Russia was last for 2018. Either way by the time it's Asia's turn again it'll go to China surely. Then after that who knows? Probably one of the other Asian tigers.

Either way we're fucked. It will never comes to Australia.

Fifa hates Australia and England. No surprises today.

Shame. Australia could be a football superpower with the right promotion.
Like someones said already, won't happen in my lifetime. Booooo!

Our timezone kills us too.

The Roar won. They scored 2 goals in the last 4 minutes of extra time to draw. The Roar keeper performed two bullshit saves and they won on penalties.
