yeah only thing dumber than that would be putting it in Qatar

 

I would do it just to try to get as many high-ranking FIFA officials abducted as possible.

 

I have no doubt FIFA would prefer giving it to Canada before letting us host again if they have a chance.

 

I hope so.

 

I think we are in line for 2026, especially since the vote will be done after most of the current hierarchy will be gone. I think Nashville would be a possible spot for some games, as well, which would be awesome, probably the greatest event ever held in the state of Tennessee.

 

Hello, UT-VT Bristol?

 

IIRC Knoxville made it fairly far down the list of cuts for the proposal for 2022, but I'd never expect it to be a venue. I would think Nashville would have a fairly legit shot, and it would be awesome.

 

Agreed. **** no to soccer.

 

Soccer is growing on me, but it wouldn't even be the greatest event of the year in Nashville. Fanfair/CMA Fest >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> World Cup.

Please.

 

Maybe he was referring to El Paso and Laredo when he said "Mexican cities."

 

There are about 6-8 Saturdays every year that are better.

 

I'm sorry, but do those events have more than a billion people tuning in to watch them? The World Cup is the biggest event the world has to offer.

 

Love UT football. This would be bigger, much bigger.

 

Hell no.

 

and tuesdays, and Wednesdays and Burger Boy Special days and Arbor Day parade...

 

People can like or not like soccer, but to deny the magnitude of having the world's largest event in your backyard is ridiculous.

 

sweet, let's book the billion Muslim march too. That'll be money.

 

No guarantee that any good teams would even play in Nashville. I'm gonna have to stick with Lady Vols vs. UConn as my #1.

 

Yes, good analogy of a non existent event with an actual sporting event which draws more interest than anything else in the world.
