I remember the 1994 Cup and that's when I got into soccer. Assuming I'm still alive and Gillete Stadium gets one of the sites I'm so there.

:bounce:

I read it in (Friday's?) sports section that the U.S. working on a bid and just didn't get around to posting about it. And now I'm too lazy to search for an article about it.

1. Don't count on it.
2018 will go to England or Spain.

2022 could possibly come to the US, but I doubt too many people would be thrilled to give the US a second World Cup when there are so many countries where football is the main sport that haven't even hosted one yet.

I think the US will get 2026 or 2030.
