Clumpy - do the math. In 2022 it would be 28 years.

No one is "pushing", just offering what they can. The 1994 World Cup was very successful on many counts - including financial, but as you even muttered - the "sporting and cultural" values that the World Cup brought was enormous. We have a growing league and the sport is now very popular and finding inclusion among other established sports in this country.   

Being an established "footballing" nation is not enough. The infrastructure that surrounds it needs to be more than stadiums. I actually applaud FIFA for bringing the cup to nations where football is not the national pastime, the idea should be to spread the gospel and grow the sport - not play it just for those who already support it.

Allan - you are right, I should not obviously not include Mexico as part of South America when I referred to rotation.
