    Although their attempt to get around the joint-hosts is admirable (saying they are one political entity), I still can't see them winning it. Because it would mean they have to field a combined football team as well, since there's no way FIFA will allow Luxembourg to enter a World Cup Laughing

    What is Luxemburg going to add!!! Anyway, it would be a good thing lots of new stadium plans. But Belgium....they need to develop a lot as well. It like driving through Poland sometimes.

    Maybe we can do it on our own? <Ale>

    Well, it's in 2018. So maybe some of the Belgian youngsters who impressed at the recent tournament can make the combined team. But still, I think it's a no-go.

    I'm actually fairly confident that England will get the 2018 World Cup, the only thing that might hold us back is the fact that we will have had the Olympics 6 years earlier
