I think it's a great decision.  Since the world cup is every 4 years, just because a team was good enough to win the World Cup 4 years ago does not mean they are good enough to even make it past the qualifying round.  Just look at France in 1998 and then in 2002...two completely different teams.  I can see the host country because that's where a lot of your attendance is coming from and you don't want to alienate the citizens of that country.  Good job FIFA!!!

India qualified, but refused to play because FIFA would not let them play in bare feet.\n\nAlso, Turkey and Scotland qualified but refused, as did France, which didn't want to travel that far.

Currently, only the 2010 and 2014 finals have been decided. After that, it’s anybody’s. I think Australia should host it. Australia has world class stadiums including: Suncorp Stadium (Voted best Rugby stadium in the world), Telstra Stadium, The Telstra Dome, The MCG, and more. Also, as the Australian FA is run by Australia’s second richest man, funding shouldn’t be a problem.

It's a process, like the Olympic Committee has for choosing what country gets the Olympics.  The process takes years, that is why we usually know years in advance where it is going to be held.  All the countries that would like to host the World Cup submit their forms, giving reasons why they should get it.  Then FIFA sends out committees to look at stadiums, transportation structure, roadways, hotels, general areas.  Then they narrow them down , and finally make a selection.

Even if India has potential players to win a World cup, India cannot win 2007 world cup

It's hard to say. Saudi Arabia defender Hamad Al Montashari was named Asian Player of the Year this past year. The Al Ittihad star beat off the challenge of Uzbekistan's Dynamo Kiev striker Maksim Shatskikh for a title diminished by the exclusion of most of Asia's best players because they could not travel to Malaysia for the ceremony.\n\nAn Asian Football Confederation (AFC) dictate that a player must attend the ceremony to be eligible for the award ruled out Manchester United star Park Ji-Sung and his South Korean teammate Lee Young-Pyo of Tottenham Hotspur. It also excluded the Japanese pair of Shunsuke Nakamura and Hidetoshi Nakata and last year's winner Ali Karimi of Bayern Munich.\n\nMy choice would be Park Ji-Sung from South Korea. I think he has been an important part of Manchester United's run this year.

While the idea is not too bad, unfortunately there are not that much countries cpable of competing in international level.  ICC are trying to develop cricket in the Associated Member countries.  In the coming world cup only 16 teams will be playing.  If ICC mnage to develop the gme in another 8 coun tries by 2011, your suggestion may materialise, who knows?

That would be awesome!!\nLet's go for 2014 and 2018 first - South America has hosted it before and Europe has hosted it many times so it would be s smart move for FIFA to give Australia a shot at being host. It would be great for the game of soccer both in Australia and Asia (as Aus is now part of the Asian league for WC qualification).
