Will the World Cup ever comeback to the USA?

There is no doubt that the finals hosted by the states in 1994 were very good and the supporters were shocked by the high number of spectators... A country with the ability to bring people from all over the world in that way deserves the honor of hosting the world cup again. A country which has a very secure environment for everyone from players and country offcials to spectators must have the chance to host again. It would be fair that the fifa makes the 2014 world cup in the States

Never, the US will never take the sport seriously enough and if they did i doubt they would be better than Brazil, Argentina, England, France, Germany, Holland, Italy, Spain or Portugal, Why because they wouldn't be as passionate for football and wouldn't have the same flair as the Brazilians or Italians. \n\nDon't be fooled by the FIFA rankings if England could play Canada, Mexico and mostly small central American countries each year we would be NO1 above Brazil.

The US will not perform badly this year...and they have not reason to perform in any less a level than past. The question is will they have the drive, pride and the unity necessary to win not just at matches, but in people's hearts.  Every country has potentially talented footbaool players, but the US has the advantage of superior facitlites, advisement etc available to them. Now its a matter of understanding the passion behind the game and bringing that into their matches. For the rest of the world it is not just a game to be won and have the title of 2006 World Cup Winner. Its also the passion behind the team and their supporters to represent their country, strive to win, show their skill, commitment, comradery and still hang their head high at the end of the day for having tried, represented and united their supporters/country. Nothing in the world brings a greater mass of people together worldwide than the sport of  football. No one want a champion who's sole goal is to add another win/medal to their list.......there has got to be more to it....

I think that eventually in the US, soccer will be as popular as most of the other sports in the US. First, soccer in the US is one of the most growing  sports among kids who play it, the number is rapidly increasing. Second, with the World Cup just around the corner I think that if the US has a good tournement, more people may start to tune in to soccer over the next few years. Afterall, as the rankings go now, the US is sixth in the world, so we could have a pretty good cup. Next, with soome of the great players in Europe and the whole world thinking of maybe coming to the MLS like Ronaldo, Zidane, and Beckham more people would want to watch the MLS to see some of the worlds greats. Lastly, i think that with Americas major sports T.V. networks such as ESPN starting to show more soccer on T.V., such as like Uefa Champions League, more people could but interest in soccer in the US. It would be hard to get the popularity level as high as say baseball or football in the US, but I think over the next few years, soccer in the US could become very popular.

No, and I don't believe they will.  There was no fantasy game for any world cups of any other sports before.  Neither for Olympics.

In my opinion USA can't show good performance in the fortcoming fifa worldcup as it has to win the great power block like italy and czech republic in its first round. both of its great rivals are going germany with great hope of wining. but dont give up hope USA fan it is football anything can happen as croatia did in wc '98.

Unluckily for me, i am from Africa, Nigeria to be precise and i didn't get the opportunity to buy a single ticket. But i am not worried, it is coming to Africa in 2010 in South Africa, and that would be my opportunity to see the world cup live. Enjoy the competition, and the thrill, maybe send me a live picture if you get to take one.

Anything is possible, and a lot depends on the draw.\n\nHowever, it is unlikely because the USA are a long way from being in the top 8 international teams, and will probably struggle to qualify from their group.

Doubtful.\nBased on World Cup history, it's unlikely for teams to rebound after such a thrashing.

Countries have to bid to host the world cup, like cities do with the Olympics.  As far as I know the only future WC set for now is South Africa 2010.

This is under "Football (American)" but it's a soccer question... so let me just say, the US will not be winning the world cup

Oh, come on...  Let's stop with the derogatory answers about the US and soccer.  I, for one, absolutely love it.  I've had a great time watching the World Cup.  My roommates (both Americans) and I have recently spent our afternoons watching the games.  I'd also really like to play, but I'm pretty bad at sports so I don't know how that would go over.  \n\nHowever, not everyone in the US loves soccer.  I think this has something to do with the fact that soccer is televised without commercial breaks.  This makes the major television companies less likely to carry it (even though there is a Fox soccer channel you can subscribe to) because they make a lot of their money on advertisements, which sports like (American) football allow for.  Still, soccer is a popular sport in American high schools, and I hope to see its popularity increasing as people become more drawn into the World Cup this year.

odds against USA winnning is a thousand : if u are talking about WC football. \n\nBut it can make it to from where it left, last year. A few steps upwards.\n\nit has to play more of soccer like south american countries and Europe to get there. \n\nSo. USA : WC VICTORY is 1 : 1000

A little nauseated. Is that world cup still going on? \nYou all like to let it go on and on just to rub it in that the US is out of it.\nWell, wait till 2010 and I'm the coach. Its gonna be a slaughter!
