If the soccer world cup were to come back to the USA, which stadiums would host matches?

I'd Like to say the Home Depot Center but it's way to small to hold a World Cup match. The obvious choices are:\n\nThe Rose bowl in Pasadena, CA- Where '94 world cup final was held.\nRFK in Washington DC\nFoxboro in New England area- Many National team games held here.\nGillette stadium- might be the one I'm thinking of in Foxboro but I'm 100% sure.\nThe Coliseum in Los Angeles, CA- Mexico plays a lot of their friendlies there.\n\nThere are probably a bunch I'm missing most of the ones I'm missing are most likely to be football stadiums turned into soccer stadiums just for the world cup. \n\nCities that are most likely to hold a game would be L.A., DC, Foxboro, Columbus(possibility), Miami, Texas, Chicago, San Francisco, Seattle, Maybe Atlanta and Kansas city.

The 2014 World Cup was promised to South America to compensate for them giving a half-spot to Oceania to give them a full berth, back in 2002. The half-spot decision was subsequently reversed in 2003, with the Oceania winner once again required to play a sudden death tie with the fifth-placed South American team. Australia (Oceania winner) responded to this by getting revenge on Uruguay (5th South America) and qualifying anyway, doing so for the first time in 32 years.\n\nAustralia could put this forward as a case as to why South America should not be automatically promised the World Cup. FFA has already stated that the South Pacific has not yet hosted a World Cup.\n\nAustralia has many stadiums and could host a football tournament successfully at short notice if an emergency were to arise in the allocated host country.\n\nSydney and Brisbane have good rectangular fields, likely to have three venues between them. However, this isn't the case in Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth or the regional centres that may be allocated some smaller matches (Launceston, Cairns, Darwin). In Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth, matches would probably be staged on these cities' cricket ovals. Although the crowd would be some distance from the field, it would be not much more than your typical athletics field. For Australia's group matches and the final it would be a tussle between rectangular Telstra Stadium (83,000) in Sydney and the Melbourne Cricket Ground (95,000) - those capacities are somewhat enviable throughout the world (what can I say, Aussies love their sport!)\n\nIt's unlikely funds would be allocated to construct new grounds, though some may be upgraded (temporarily or permanently).\n\nIf the powerful South Americans get their way for 2014, FFA has indicated they will bid for 2018. In any case FFA will be bidding for the 2011 Asian Cup. Considering the other two nations bidding for that one are Iran and India, we stand a good chance.

Nottingham Forest v Hamburger SV (for obvious reasons)\n\nBut if that's too far fetched, then Milan v Barcelona. Incidentally the last time these 2 played in the Final (1994), the host stadium was the Olympic Stadium in Athens. This season's Final will return to Athens, and a repeat of 1994 would be a wonderful reminder.

USA has a soccer team?

There aren't countries running. South Africa has already been chosen to host the World Cup in 2010. In fact, South America has already been decided to host the 2014 World Cup with Brazil being the frontrunner.

The FIFA World Cup (Federation Internationale de Football Association) is basically the Super Bowl of soccer. Teams from all over the world travel to compete in competitions to see who is the best. Tickets are very valuable and in high demand. This year the World Cup is being held in various locations throughout Germany. Good Luck... =)

Germany v Brazil re-match.\n\nBallack will surely want to make amends from four years ago when he missed the final through suspension (the irony being that it was his goals against the US and South Korea that got them there).

US, Brazil, Holland, Italy.\n\nBuena suerte contra polonia.

Well when the new Wembly is finally ready it won't just be used for "special occasions" such as the FA Cup Final. It is used for International football matches, lower division playoff games and other events such as large music concerts. There were a couple of years where Arsenal actually played their European games there and when London had an NFL Europe team, the London Monarchs, they played their games there. As for the Millenium stadium, it is the home of the Welsh rugby team and has held events such as boxing and also music concerts. They are like the English/Welsh equivalents of Madison Square Garden I suppose...

By next weekend I'd say, last time they were back in MLS before the World Cup was over (the Americans anyway).

Depends on where you live, but most big cities have a soccer pub somewhere.  I've been to Milwaukee, Chicago, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, as well as home (Minneapolis) and they all have at least one soccer pub.

A pure soccer only stadium is the best....like Chicago's new stadium.  Colorado looks like their stadium is coming along nicely too!

how can you say it the WORLD cup, when America is NOT involved?
