"The WC should go to the country that can provide the best tournament."

no it shouldn't, it would never have gone to South Africa if that was the case - or probably many of those that have previously taken place in south American/central American countries

it's the World Cup, England have already hosted it, let's go to as many new countries as possible

let's spread the footballing love
