The renovation of the Maracana alone cost over $500m, and the stadiums in Brasilia and Manaus don't have any club tenants. Absolutely ridiculous.

Stadium hosting World Cup opener between Brazil and Croatia would NOT pass UK safety test.

Albino elephants.

Knock the Qatar bid all you want but they have three components which will arguably ensure the greatest WC of all time;
1. Close proximity between stadiums
2. Actual infrastructure being built (yes I know what this comes at the cost of)
3. Stadiums being partly dismantled and sent off to Africa

And for people that knock nations like Brazil and South Africa for building big needless stadiums, our 2018 bid had a 46k stadium to be built in Plymouth. Genius.

To be fair, FIFA told the Brazilians they only needed 8 stadiums, with a maximum of 10. Brazil built 12, and 4 of those in cities that, by the sounds of things, don't actually have plans for when they're done.

I doubt a successful bid would actually have made use of a 46,000 stadium in Plymouth, or a 44,000 stadium for Bristol City. The clubs couldn't afford that.

If it had won it probably would just have been the 2 London venues (Wembley and Emirates or Olympic), Old Trafford, St. James' Park, Villa Park, Anfield (or a new LFC stadium) and maybe Sunderland, Leeds, a redeveloped Hillsborough and possibly Coventry, even with the Ricoh kerfuffle ongoing.

But whatever. We didn't win anyway because FIFA decided Russia's bid ~~was more valuable for their cash reserves~~ was the one they wanted.

All this talk of the bids reminds me of this video:

The amount of people taking it seriously in the comments is amusing.

At the time of the bid Plymouth's attendances were getting lower and lower, it was quite funny timing.

Brasilla is the worst venue. Delayed, millions overspent, for a city that doesn't have a top level club.

As much as I hate to say it, Bristol City could comfortable deal with a 44,000 stadium in the current climate. Rovers took over 40,000 for the league 2 play-off final a couple of years ago and City are underwritten by a billionaire. A bit of investment and infrastructure in place and Bristol should have 1 Premier League team and could support 2. We're a million miles off that at the moment I grant you.

Does anyone else find it a bit sad that most of the games seem to only have 3/4 full stadiums?

Wouldnt FIFA prefer to almost give tickets away and have a full stadium, rather than have alot of empty seats?

Empty seats are FIFA's partners and sponsors fault. They've been given tonnes of tickets that they are too lazy to use.
