What do you think about Australia to host WC in 2022?

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).

Well Antartica but no one lives there, my next guess would be Oceania, because yes Australia did qualify but it is now considered to be part of Asia's Confederation (as of the beginning of 2006). It was to late to get another representitive country from Oceania. So for Oceania to really have a represtitive in the World Cup they must wait another 4 years.

Good on you!  \n\nOne of the best things about Australia is that you have a great variety of sports to choose from.  \n\nNot many people like all three football codes.  I am an AFL man, I don't like Rugby League or Union and although I like soccer, I don't have a passion for it.  Having said that I can't wait for the World Cup, I'll be up at 2am watching the Australians.\n\nAt least here in Aus, we have great facilities, good competitions and safe and friendly atmosphere at sporting events.  Not everywhere can say that.

they  have every chance of coming second in the group behind Brazil - they have Kewell, Cahill and Viduka who would get in any squad. The Croatians are an aging side and the Japanese don't travel well, i hope Australia make it to the knockout stages

It was awesome. Australia is now on the world platform.\nTheir defence against Brazil was too. I wasn't impressed with Harry Kewell though, he missed vital shots in that game. \nInconsistent refereeing leaves a bad taste in your mouth. This is happening in all of the games.\nI believe Australia has a good chance against Croatia and if they make it through, fantastic.\nIf not, we are proud of them anyway.

I think it's an excellent idea. It will be great to bring a little bit of national spirit to the game and watch different countries have a friendly competition with one another. i would love to see it grow into something big like the world cup of soccer. I'm really excited about it and i hope it turns out to be a success.

Oh ye of little faith....\nThe Socceroos are destined for greatness and will win the Cup, smashing the great South American football conspiracy once and for all and facilitating a new world order in football!!!\nGo you 'roos :)

Despite a first win i think Australia will cause the biggest shock in WCF history by beating Brazil tomorrow and thus knocking Brazil out in the first round.\n\nWell i hope so anyway! Cant stand Brazil anymore, its like watching Manchester United.

Not many people I'd say.\n\nI'm a supporter and am so happy to see the Group F table at present. I realise things have a possibility of changing on Monday, but...until then....\n\nGO YOU AUSSIES !!!!!!!!!!

We know that Australia will NOT!!!!!!  F'n cheap shots!\n\nTo reply to kaztacular below:\nJust days before Australia's first World Cup match against Japan, the Japan Football Association chairman claimed the Socceroos were "guilty of a lot of dirty fouls" and that "they target ankles in particular."   In the game against Croatia, I'm sure the Croatians would argue that they were victims of this dirty play.

AFAIK, it is too early to know that yet. Usually, world cup qualification system is defined after the world cup, so probably it will be set in a year or so. Rumors are that the South American group won't follow the "league" format they had until the past qualification leg (rumors say that they will be splitted in 2 groups), so it is very likely that the Oceanian zone will change their playoff format... and I would say as well that don't expect a direct spot to the WC finals, more likely the playoff format will stay, and don't be surprised if actually they have to play an additional one...

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.
