We hosted your crappy women's World Cup and packed out the stadiums despite the fact that the quality of football on display makes the Sidemen vs YouTube Allstars game look like El Clasico, only for FIFA to turn around and rig the deck for Saudi Arabia to stroll in and host it uncontested.
FIFA YOU DO KNOW THAT JULY IN AUSTRALIA IS WINTER WHICH IS THE BEST TIME TO HOST A TOURNAMENT, INSTEAD OF IN THE MIDDLE EAST WHERE YOU'LL HAVE TO HOST IT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE EUROPEAN SEASON AND DISRUPT THE CLUB SEASON AGAIN

Why did Australia pull out?
I'm sure the US bid was completely free from corruption and no money changed hands.

I haven't looked on /r/soccer in a couple of years, my god they're insufferable. When will people accept that Saudi Arabia is better than most of the west?

I wouldn't be surprised if it actually was free of corruption. Not because Americans are above paying bribes, but because we don't care enough about soccer to bother.
