Doing joint bids makes much more sense with the sharp increase in matches. I think solo bids are over for good. I think we'll have essentially bid regions; north america, south america, eastern asia (korea, Japan, China), southern asia/Australia/New Zealand, North Africa/SW Asia, Scandinavia + Belgium/Holland, and several Western Europe combos.
We got a very nice slice of this getting 60 matches, for perspective there were 64 matches in the last WC and the next two. My biggest concern is that there is only one grass pitch in Canada at this point in time. Mexico is pissed.
