So due to high temperatures in Saudi Arabia in summer, they’ll play the Saudi games in winter and the Italian games in summer. Simples.

Sounds to me that FIFA is trying to follow the new Euro model of multiple hosts. Thereby spreading the cash.

 

Mex-US-Can makes geographic sense despite the logistics. I suppose you could argue for the regional federations being hosts - UEFA, CONCACAF, CONMEBOL, OCEANIA and the others, or sub-groups within.

 

But Italy-Saudi is odd at best.

Time they abolished joint bids. Getting ridiculous now. 

To win a World Cup you have to suck up and bung more than other countries

 

so if you're a FIFA official you can have 2-3 countries sucking up and bunging you up together

 

Not going away anytime soon unfortunately
