Lots of these cities, have crumbling infrastructure, do not have the extra money for an event

Dallas has the Texas Abortion Bill, Georgia have the Voting Bill. Los Angeles has the homeless situation. San Francisco is hoping to use what, Levi Stadium, in Santa Clara. All of these stadiums are very good so the issue is not going to be the facilities but the branding attached to .

Still think it's a crazy idea to host a World Cup in 3 countries, especially after what happened in 2002. It was FIFA who said that it was a hassle to travel between Japan and South Korea.
I get that these countries are not separated by waters, but to travel from Mexico to Canada kinds of feel the same doesn't it?

Vancouver should step in to replace Montreal. That would be a nice destination for the World Cup.

As a native Atlantan, from being born at Crawford Long to graduating from Georgia State, let me state that there is no worse city to host a major sporting event than Atlanta. I'm stunned at how many times they can sucker people into believing that. And there is no worse stadium owner to receive such a benefit than Arthur "tear down a historic church for my stadium's parking lot" Blank.
