The epic stadiums being built for Qatar 2022

[Dolph'sZiggler]

I'd much rather it hosted in places where football is their passion. England are long overdue another world cup imo. Considering that football isn't popular at all in North America, I'd much rather it elsewhere in Europe or South America.

There are a lot of people in North America that are passionate about football. That is just ignorant to say otherwise. I have a lot of friends who closely keep up with a lot of different European leagues as well as the USMNT/International football. You don't think there are a lot of people in Mexico passionate about football? And needless to say for people traveling to the WC the US is a much better destination than some other alternatives.

more US football fans bought tickets to the WC than any other country.

Quite hilarious considering last week on Skype you told me "soccer was a dying sport" and on the decline in America, and that Beckham changed nothing etc.

Still don't think I'd want the WC in North America. Much more passionate countries still deserve it, and yes you can "deserve" it imo. English football has propelled the game further and further into popularity, but we haven't had it since 1966.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

I'm not saying England doesn't deserve it. A lot of European countries do, but you can't have the World Cup in Europe every time. And I said soccer wasn't gaining popularity, and that Beckham coming over wasn't big news. Soccer being the 7th biggest sport in the US still means millions of people love it.

So despite the fact that more Americans traveled to the 2010 World cup than fans of any other country, you don't think the US is worthy of hosting another World Cup?

Let's take it a step further

Last time the US hosted the World Cup (1994) the average attendance was the highest in WC history @ over 68k per match

dat lack of passion

I live in North America and even I know that they all should be held in Europe. For safety reasons and cause they'll always make money.

Dear Dolph's

Canada is much bigger than the US. Please keep your size envy to yourself.

Enjoy being the Russia of North America. How much of your land can even be lived on? Like half of it?

 

[Aids Johnson]

This is going to be good.

On topic, awesome stadiums, i hope they have big plans on what to do AFTER it's all over. Think of how much lodging, attractions, and mid-level stores will gain a huge % of profit due to this event.

Yep, not overcrowded with criminals and people not willing to work.

What other events could they hold to make those stadiums worth the MASSIVE costs? I think they will try with other sporting events and maybe concerts but in the long run its a terrible waste of funds to build a bunch of billion dollar stadiums for basically one event

I guess:

-Champions League
-World Cup
-Concerts
-Box office fights (boxing, UFC, etc)
-Rugby world cup

Can't think of too much else though. Not sure if there's enough room in the stadium(s) to add athletics into the list, but I am baffled.

But who cares about the country wasting money? Those stadiums are revolutionary and I'm glad they're making them.

:mad2: cheap shot dude. Criminals are everywhere, especially in overpopulated cities, and people not willing to work? Weak.

I see it as a huge waste if that amount of cash is spent to make the funds available to have it just sit there after.
