Bids will close in 2010 & it's more likely to be open for all the regions. But if the rotation stands then will be in Oceania & North America to host it.

Australia, Canada?, China?, England, Mexico, Netherlands & Belgium?, New Zealand?, Saudi Arabia?, Spain? & Turkey?

I want it to come to England unless we have a rubbish 2012 Olympics. We made football, we lost the 2006 bid so we should get it.

But Australia has huge stadiums.

I don't mind Canada but I think they don't care about Football. :whistle:

I voted other.

Reason being that I hope they give it to Mars.

And that all the soccer fans get free tickets and a free ride!

That way we'll all have a bit of peace and quiet in which to get on with things more constructive, relevant, and enjoyable.

Like what exactly? What exactly do you do that is so constructing and enjoyable for YOU then? Breed turtles?

England should get it. I read a few week's back that England will be likely to bid for it, pending the success of the Olympics.

There is also the fact that there are many stadium's in development. You have the new Wembley, The Emirates Stadium, Old Trafford, the new Anfield and The City Of Manchester Stadium. So thing's would be looking good by 2018...

We have not hosted it for a long time either, since 1966.

Wrong, Canada loves its soccer. It's #1 in terms of participation, even ahead of hockey. When Greece won Euro Cup and Italy the WC, the streets were absolutely littered. It was imposssible to walk, or drive on any of the majour streets in Montreal. I actually have some pics of it somewhere on my PC if u wanna see. Same thing with Toronto. You couldn't go anywhere without seeing the WC on TV.

Canadians love their soccer, especially the big tournies

That maybe the case in 2018 because lots of Canadian kids do like it, New MLS club for Toronto, Hosting the 2007 Under 20 World Cup. So their is interest.

But I don't think it's no.1.

It's quite funny... instead of posting "Who do you want to host the 2018 World Cup?" you should instead say "What country are you from?" as thats pretty much what every answer is :p

of course, most of us would love to see the greatest sporting event live in our own backyard

    • AMD 9070XT

      It won't perform hugely better than the 3080 unless you're VRAM limited in games. Have you tried putting new thermal pads on them 3080 and giving it a good clean to see if you can regain your temps and overclock?

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      Windows 95 offered the ability to add and edit the right click menus, on a per file type basis. This feature seems to be missing in the new file explorer. Are they bringing it back as a "new" feature?

      It's nearly time to replace my aging Founders Edition 3080, it doesn't OC as nicely as it used to and it's running around 10c warmer than it did when I first bought it.  I don't have budget for much more than what I spent on the 3080 and locally, that means the best GPU I can manage is a 9070XT. On this basis I have a few questions: 1. At present I don't use ray tracing, if this was to change, would this GPU be an issue? 2. How does it compare on a performance basis? 3. Are the drivers worse or better than those for nVidia? 4. Linux support, is it there? 5. Anything else I should be aware of if I were to make this change? 6. Is it a good idea or shall I try and keep the 3080 a little longer.

      What OS is that? It looks a bit like Mac OS but the command line suggests it isn't, either way I like it!
