World Cup To The USA?

The Washington Post is reporting that:

The U.S. Soccer Federation is formulating a bid to host the 2018 World Cup, an effort that could bring the quadrennial tournament here for the first time in 24 years as well as position the United States to stage the 2014 event in case a South American country is not ready. USSF President Sunil Gulati said yesterday that the federation will form an organizing committee at this weekend’s annual meetings in Los Angeles and prepare to formally advise FIFA, the sport’s world governing body, of its intentions to compete for the 2018 tournament. England is also planning a bid. The host is likely to be chosen in 2012.

As regular readers know, Hanno, Manfred and myself are all likely to purchase tickets to as many games as we can.
