We bid for next year's.I would love to see oz get a world cup too.
I'm still pissed off about Qatar getting it.
Football here would have got a really huge boost.
Plus the place is full of Poms like me, Scots, Irish, Italians, Greeks, all mad football fans.
I think we outnumber the Aussies.:)
World cup here in our winter ,(as it is now) would've been great, perfect weather, we already have the stadia.

It would be a fantastic tournament with passionate local fans.
Like the Ashes I enjoy being up at stupid o'clock to watch matches kick off. 4 am kick offs would mean Engerland fans would be too tired to kick off after losing to Peru.
Didn’t Chicago put a few serious bids in over the last decades? It’s back in LA in 2028 I think as well.No-one wants to spend the cash to create a huge white elephant they struggle to utilize in 2033 and thereafter.
Good luck to Brisbane! Isn’t it about time Oz got to share a World Cup, too?!
For an Australian Olympics do they move it to later in the year for the weather?

I lived 30 years in Brisbane, then I retired and moved 1 hour south to the Gold Coast.Brisbane looks a beautiful city and with its amazing beaches will make for a spectacular olympics. Are you near there Bill?
Brisbane is a modern and incredibly clean city. With a beautiful river and southbank leisure area.
Whenever we have visitors from the UK they really like it.
