Stadium Notes
I updated the notes for Husky Stadium because the old notes made it sound like the track will be there for the world cup. --24.87.16.83 (talk) 03:18, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Stadium list
Is it really necessary to mention the non-soccer events these stadia have hosted? --Pgp688 (talk) 05:29, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes. In many of the stadium's cases, the highest-profile event isn't a soccer match   Pur ple  back pack 89    14:00, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

What's his official capacity for the bid?  Pur ple  back pack 89    14:01, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Schedule
Is it really necessary to have a table containing FIFA's schedule over choosing the hosts when that same table is on the main page about 2018 and 2022 World Cup Bids? This seems redundant to me.Soxrox 18:18, 3 July 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Soxrock24 (talk • contribs)

Los Angeles Stadium?
Should it be mentioned somewhere that the proposed Los Angeles Stadium in the city of Industry has World Cup aspirations in 2018/2022. I would assume that if completed it would replace the Rose Bowl or Coliseum as one of the Southern California venues (probably the Coliseum).

Sepp Blatter accusations
http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/98b271aa-7e42-11e5-a1fe-567b37f80b64.html?ftcamp=crm/email/20151030/nbe/WorldNews/product#axzz3q3EmQwlW

"Sepp Blatter believes he would still be in charge of world football if he had succeeded with a 'secret plan to award the World Cup to the US'.

The 79-year-old blamed American and Swiss authorities for forcing him to give up power by arresting several senior Fifa officials and threatening to prosecute Fifa as a mafia organisation.

The US had decided to pursue Fifa, he claimed, after it was beaten in the race for the 2022 World Cup by Qatar.

“It took a political dimension,” he said. “I am looking now to see what were the political reasons. The easiest thing would be to say [they are] bad losers.” — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.0.158.233 (talk) 13:05, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
