[sachin]

IndiaThere'd prolly be to many people wanting to come to the matches.

Yeah,Australia is **** at every sport,always has been always will be.:

India have bigger venues, don't know about better.

We have better venues,no doubt.

The problem is that not many of the venues here in Australia are suited to soccer. Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth would probably have to build new stadiums or something. Anyone who has seen soccer at the MCG will know what I am talking about. .

Its about time Aus got some new stadiums. I would love to see some of the designs from Japan and Korea in Aus. With league and union being played every year i'm sure they can use those stadiums afterwards.

That way grounds like the MCG can be used for cricket and AFL which the new rectangular stadiums used for rugby and soccer.

They Need to be bloody good stadiums you will have tough competition from the english

We Have Old Trafford, Villa Park, City Of Manchester Stadium, The KC Stadium and Wembley And The Emerites Stadium still to be built If you want the world cup your gonna need at least 6 stadiums that can hold over 40,000 people

But they would have Soccer at the 'G',they are not going to build another stadium.I think the Dome would be a good place to watch soccer.

We have that,prolly more.Imagine,England with even more people-the BNP would go psycho! -,you'd be packed in as tight as a........maybe...a bit.... ahhh....rude to post

 

[aussie1st]

Korea and Japan made at least 10 new stadiums so it can be done. Still heaps of time for that to happen.

Of course the English are going to be hard to beat given they would have hosted the Olympics a few years ago.

Are you serious??

So you have better venues than the MCG(over 100,000 seats), Telstra Dome (over 50,000 seats with roof) and other venues around Oz???

From what i see on Tv your stadiums just look like a little stand with a cat cage around it.

steve i wouldnt go running around talking about the telstra dome to much. the surface is shocking and is causing injuries because of the sandy surface. however we have far greater stadiums that india. suncorp, stadium australi, scg, aussie stadium, waca, subiaco, energy australia stadium. they are all world class and look absolutly superb. the indians are basically grounds with cages and lots of dirt and stand in the middle. you could put a big fence and some seats around the aussie beach and add some dirt if you want, then we can compare stadiums

lol sorry mate, i thought your location said India.

Yeh, well at least we could hold the Beach Vollyball World Cup at the Dome

australia have absolutly no right to host the world cup. as much as i would love to watch it and have it here in australia, we cant even make the bloody thing. at the moment we have good players in kewell, viduka, cahill etc. they will all be long gone by the time the 2018 cup comes along. we could be as bad as the islanders we play against.

australia only want to host the world cup because we have been trying for over 30 years to get in without any luck. they would be better off too stop winghing about how tough the draw is and make a team good enough to get in in the first place instead of taking it off countries who have worked hard to get where they are.

we dont even have a decent national comp. we have a comp of good amatures with 2 decent players, an aged ned zelic (newcastle) and dwight yorke (who is brilliant but old as well). it just doesnt make sense. put the resources into making better young kids first

At the moment, yes, but by the time we are bidding for 2018, that may have changed and we may have a great team, and a strong national comp.

You have to remember that it is still many years away, we have stadiums in at least 4 stadiums already that would be perfect for world cup soccer (Suncorp, Telstra Stadium, Aussie Stadium, Telstra Dome)

And Perth are planning a 60,000 seat multi-purpose stadium already. In Adelaide, Hindmarsh might be able to be upgraded, or games could be played at the Adelaide Oval, but Adelaide could probably build a new 50,000 seat square stadium by then.

If you upgrade stadiums like Energy Australia Stadium, and Central Coast Stadium, possibly the new stadiums planned for Melbourne and the Gold Coast we would have plenty of venues.

Perth aren't building at 60,000 seat stadium. Closer to 30,000.
Canberra could use a bigger stadium they always sell it out during the Super 12.
