I partially agree with you. At the next world cup in Canada, the USA and Mexico, we should not expect the restrictions that existed in Qatar, such as the ban on serving alcohol, but there are other possible restrictions and problems.
First of all, I mean the fact that it is very difficult for citizens of most countries in the world to get a visa to visit America.
Considering that most of the fans are young people, usually unemployed, this could become a serious problem.
In addition, America as a country is very expensive for tourists and the question is how many fans will be able to afford to visit America during the soccer world cup.

muslim country has a different rules and they are bit strict - for example Qatar banned one love flag and band
They banned alcohal in the stadium - there were other ristriction too. But none of the ristriction had a bad affect on the fan. Fan drank less and enjoyed the sport.
There was less harasment and women too felt secure - what went wrong in Qatar?

A country that has much love football,  this love is not enough for  the country to host world cup. For a country to host world cup their are many things that are required for a country to get opportunity of hosting world cup. Good facilities,  security and other things , this must be available.

It's actually going to be four countries, not just one. Uruguay, Argentina, Chile, and Paraguay are bidding for the 2030 World Cup.

If they actually get it, it would be an awkward South American qualification. There are 10 teams, and from the next world cup there will be 6 directly qualified teams with one going to playoffs.

With 4 South American countries qualified as hosts, and 6 directly qualifying, that would mean the whole continent would qualify for that world cup, without a single qualifying match needed.

Even though I can see the advantage of hosting the World Cup in South America, because there are some good economies here and of course the big passion people feel for football. I would also like this event to be hosted in more exotic places in the future.

Perhaps, the organizations and sponsors do not feel the need of doing so, but I think it would be a good chance to promote this sport in countries where it does not have as much importance in South America.

It is just an idea, sure, but I still recall how people got very excited in Africa when the WC got there for the first time ever back in 2010.
A quad-nation World Cup, huh? Quite the gathering! No doubt, South America's got the vibes for hosting the extravaganza. But let's not kid ourselves—our big, beautiful world's got more to offer. Imagine this: The World Cup in Antarctica! Envision those penguins dribbling on ice, while huskies officiate the matches. Or, what about a lunar World Cup? With low gravity, we'd witness otherworldly goals. Alright, alright, I'll reel it in. The gist is, let's stir the pot. Introduce the World Cup to fresh, uncharted territories. Who's to say we won't uncover hidden soccer prodigies along the way?
The next World Cup may not have such strict rules as in Qatar. As Qatar is a Muslim country they follow some strict rules and regulations. In the next World Cup I think football fans will be able to enjoy the game of football freely.

You are absolutely right bud, introducing the world cup to new territories, countries we did probably not imagine to ever have what it takes to host the world cup, would be a game changer, and we never can under estimate what kind of talent that wil be discovered in those countries.
The world is filled with great talented players, but the issue is, most of them can't differenciate their left from their right when it comes to how to get to the top of the game, if the world cup can be allowed to travel to every crook and cranny of this world, amazing talents will sure be discovered - no doubt.
Not just keep recycling the world cup hosting among well developed cities alone.

I always supported the idea that if you are going to do a world cup, then you do it in a nation filled with football history and culture. There is nothing else you need, it could be even a poor nation and they would still have everything you need.

Argentina is famously a poor nation, they had record breaking inflation after inflation and you could stay at a five star hotel literally for 10 bucks a day, that is the cheapness level and poverty level they have, and yet if you do a world cup there, between the amazing stadiums and the football culture and people who would love to watch it, you are going to end up with a lot of fans and a great world cup. Wealth doesn't equal a good world cup, love of football does equal it without a doubt though.

Love is not enough for a country to host the world cup we know Brazil is the country where most people love football and there are many players in that country, but if they want to host the World Cup, first they have to have enough financial potential for the tournament and they need to have enough sports facilities and hostels but I don't think if Brazel and Argentina got any of these.
Lionel Messi's biggest gain is securing Argentina's World Cup. He is a living legend with nothing left to achieve in his football career except the World Cup. Finally this dream of Lionel Messi has come true now there is no more achievement left in his career he will be a living legend forever in our hearts.

Talking about the World Cup which was held in South Africa 2010, indeed it is the most impressive World Cup if we compare it with the World Cup after South Africa which hosted it. There is no doubt about the atmosphere created in every game, and I can safely say that from 2010 to the 2022 World Cup, the South African World Cup was the most exciting World Cup for me personally. Maybe this opinion will differ from the opinion of other people, but around me we feel the same way about the 2010 World Cup.

Shakira's Waka Waka is still on the radio, so I guess you have a point  Grin

I think it should happen in South America because it's the 100th anniversary, and it all started in Uruguay 1930, so it would be really great to have it there.

But yeah, it would be a bit strange to have the whole continent qualified immediately without having any qualifying matches

I exactly think the same way about allowing these countries to host great tournaments, that's simple they don't have enough facilities and that's not a wise move to let a country without enough facilities host the world cup because there will be consequences even after hosting the world cup, many people are unhappy about the time they spent in Qatar.
That never really mattered to them at all. Qatar is seen "fine" by the west because they can get love from them, Qatar may act as if they do like western people or at least the ones at the top could, but in theory there is really nothing that different fundamentally between Qatar and North Korea, sure the media will make you believe there is, but this is the same nation that thousands of people died to build these stadiums and other stuff so they can host World Cup.

The only thing Fifa cares about is money, if you pay them the bribe you should, then you are going to have the world cup. I am sure North Korea could pay a lot and still won't have it, but they do not really care about anything else, they just care about the money. Saudi Arabia is not democracy for example, they have nepotism and dictatorship, so one family rules it with iron fist, no elections, and if they pay the bribe, they can host it too.

Now Imagine some people think Saudi Arabia can be a good host for the next world cup after 2026, there we are going to see the same story we saw in Qatar and even worst than Qatar because they have more complicated rules.
That's why I think choosing America as the world cup host was a good move because there they have more freedom and people who visit this country will not have the same problems they had in Qatar.

That is one of the few reasons why the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia didn't win the bid and was not chosen by the FIFA congress to host the next world cup after 2026, there was some saying that Saudi Arabia will join forces with Egypt and Greece to host the 2030 WC but that wasn't pushed through because of what happened in the recent World Cup 2023 where people weren't that much happy because they are not that free to do what they wanted because there are rules that needed to be observed which is common in a Muslim country. But Saudi Arabia wasn't really disappointed because the FIFA gave them the right to host the 2027 Asian Cup.
Qatar - saudia and UAE are rich counties and they can be  a very good host
but I think islamic values make things difficult for the non muslism

it's not easy to host the world cup, even a country like brazil ends up in a lot of debt for hosting the olympics, with huge inflation it will only kill argentina if it hosts the world cup

I see that the 2026 world cup is actually very unique because the 3 countries have different economic strengths and in the future it will be a great solution for other countries (to not host the world cup alone)
if that is correct - I think only the rich country should host the world cup
like for example Qatar has gifted and donated almost everything they have made for the world cup - from buses till the living space they have donated it

Does countries host worldcup without support from FIFA?, I am very curious to know, because I don't see why hosting the World cup should lead to debt for the country that hosted it, if this is true, then it means several countries will not be willing to host the tournament in the fear of accumulating debt, most especially, countries that are already in lots of debt already..

Hosting the world cup has always been a privilege for any country, atleast, this is what I think, if a country should host the world cup and end up in debt because of it, then I don't see how that is a privilege.
That is correct and it brings in so many people from around the globe .. and only the rich country would host  world cup never would be a poor country

In fact sometimes when they let a country with a bad financial situation host the world cup they will allow the country to have visitors from all over the world these visitors will bring more demand to that country, and that's another reason when I say I think letting Qatar host the world cup was not a good experience but next time in America, Canada, and Mexico we will have a better experience and there will be a good chance or these countries.
If this is Lionel Messi's last World Cup, then this World Cup will be a remarkable achievement of his life. I think Lionel Messi's achievements are no longer lacking. But in the next World Cup, I think Brazil will be the favourite. Because the Brazil team has some young players who will take themselves to unique heights come the next World Cup.

Messi was under a lot of pressure from the public in Argentina for a long time because they compared him to Maradona and said that he cannot be the greatest Argentine footballer of all time without the title of world champion in football.
Now Messi has finally managed to bring the title of world champion to Argentina, but for many football fans, including me, Maradona will remain the greatest football player in the history of football. What Maradona showed at the 1986 World Cup in Mexico has never been repeated by anyone, it was football perfection.
As for Brazil, they have been the main favorites at every World Cup for the past 20 years, but they always lack something to go all the way and become world champions.
