The latest World Cups have cost $15 billion a piece:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economics_of_the_FIFA_World_Cup

And unlike the Olympics (LOLympics), the focus is far more narrow, with only a single sport.

Why not just stick the bill to football-crazed Latin American & Western European countries and have them pay for this stupid shit. I don't want my taxpayer dollars to be flushed down the toilet in the 2026 US bid, after a 2024 LOLympics that already puts California taxpayers on the hook for any cost overruns.

Note to mods: The above is purely my honest opinion, not stated as fact.

A sport that people actually care about. While Olympic host cities get stuck building stuff for sports no one cares about like swimming and baseball which is where all the waste comes from.

You realize that the US already has all of their stadiums constructed and isnt like Brazil, who really went crazy with spending for 2014/6.

We also will be splitting the event with Canada and Mexico. Calm down.

Yep. Only spending should be improving public transportation.
