Frank Lowy put millions in the last Aussie bid and said never again.
Too much corruption got promised votes that never got delivered.
Qatar just came in with more money which is what it is all about.
Your spot on about rugby we’ve gone to the dogs there.

Its a pity isnt it. Oz and NZ are such passionate sporting countries. You'd do a great job.

Haven't won a world cup in 20+ years

Only won 1 Copa America in the last 19 years.

Been a long time since Brazil were well, Brazil
Yes, nostalgia has a lot to do with it. They are boring, and the antithesis of Joga Bonito. :shock:

So... Scotland v Haiti. An unlikely duo if I may say so.
Amazing Haiti can field a team let alone qualify. Good for them.

Funny Shaun, I thought the same thing. They look more like the great oppressors than flower of Scotland.

That Haiti goalkeeper is scary. No way I'd try to score a goal against him. He's a big unit.
