I'm hoping it turns out England gets 2018 and the USA gets 2022. I would probably make the trip for 2018 and definitely catch a few for 2022 (even if Chicago isn't among the cities selected).<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I think England's definitely going to get it. If the US gets it in 2022 I can't imagine Chicago being left out.

Chicago ain't on the list, which is dumb.
I really want this to happen, but I have trouble seeing Blatter allowing both to host back to back. Two English speaking countries, the most powerful, the strongest alliance of world powers and the two biggest supporters of the Premier League, which Blatter hates. That said, both of us offer the biggest revenue. We're the safest countries, with the largest venues.

I hate my pretentious sounding username too.
