World Cup 2034 is Insanely Rigged 

He's having the 2034 World Cup corrupt for the 100 anniversary of 1934 World Cup

it is unfortunate that the South American countries accepted the offer in which they host only three games.

It looks like perfect weather for a run rn

Another consequence of this 2030/34 shit show is that it will leave 2038 with only CONCACAF and OFC eligible. Realistically only some combo of the US, México, and Canada could really pull off a bid between these two federations, which would be weirdly close to those same nations hosting in ‘26. I’m not sure a combined Caribbean or Central American bid would be viable, and certainly any bid from the OFC that doesn’t try to also involve Australia would be doomed. But thanks to the idiocy of hosting ‘30 on three continents, eligible hosts will be limited in ‘38. Really feels like 2030 should’ve been given solely to Spain-Portugal-Morocco and 2034 to the combined South American bid.

2030 should just be given to South America for the Centenary. And 2034 should go to Spain-Portugal-Morocco in that case.

What I also find funny is the fact that Chile, that was originally part of the South America bid, was then left out from the 2030 world cup and just 2 months later was named the host of the 2025 u20 world cup which just shows how they had everything planned out to make everyone happy and that Saudi Arabia could take the 2034 world cup with no criticism

Australia was actually preparing a bid, but bailed seeing it would be against Saudi. We were burnt by FIFA last time we bid and it went to Qatar and we didn't want to waste money on a bid that was hopeless.

Russia 2018 also technically took place on two continents. But since Russia is (albeit a suspended) member of UEFA, that counted as a “European” World Cup.

The UK deserves it most, the fact its only been held there once is crazy to me.

Low 70s in Pittsburgh today. Gotta get a run in after work

New zealand and Australia snubbed is so sad to see money go the way of saudis as the womens world cup was so good

I mean it wasn't a decade ago that the US State Department (which has many skeletons of its own) had to he narrowly "convinced" not to explicitly label FIFA a criminal organization. This is who they've always been.

I would love to see nations boycott the world cup in protest of the corruption. I would 100% back the Aussie team (im an Aussie) if they said, "nope, not even going to bother to attempt to even send a team," and they just sat out the entire qualifying process. 🤔

As an Argentinean I knew there was almost no possibility of it being hosted here, but I still held hope. But when they announced we would have A SINGLE GAME and thus excluding us from the 2034 bid... oh I went mad with rage for days. They really just spat us in the face.

2026: USA, Canada, Mexico 2030: Uruguay, Argentina, Paraguay 2034: Spain, Portugal, Morocco 2038: Saudi Arabia Sadly we can’t have nice things

Justice for Fiji 2034

"Show me something different in the second half Fifa"

A World Cup rigged? You’ll be telling not to touch the hot stove next.

What's everyone's favourite movie? Mine is Forrest Gump. I love the bit where he just starts running and never stops!

Nothing is going to change until FIFA collapses from the inside. I still believe that UEFA and CONMEBOL should break away from FIFA, or at least boycott the 2034 WC. FIFA is not all-powerful, and without the European and South American teams, they are pretty much nothing (no offense to all the teams of the rest of the world).

2038 will almost assuredly be solely hosted by the USA. The fact that Canada and Mexico were join in the bid for 2026 wasn't because the USA couldn't handle running the whole thing on their own; they were along for the ride. Maybe it'll be a joint bid again, but I doubt it. 2042 will be the earliest that we will be able to see a proper and quote-unquote "fair" bidding process for, as UEFA, CAF, CONMEBOL, and OFC will all be eligible, and I suspect that with the UK/Ireland hosting gig for Euro 2028, that they will likely offer up that little nugget of a bid for 2042, and it'll likely hold way more of a candle to getting it than anything South America, or Africa will propose, and then 2046, AFC becomes eligible again, so Australia and NZ could joint bid for then, and I can only imagine that NZ could have more than one FIFA approved stadium within the next 22 years, so I think it would be doable. And then, since 2050, CONCACAF, would be reeligible, simply from the whole money standpoint, I suspect USA would host again, but maybe for old times sake they'll bring Mexico and Canada on board again, only this time maybe they'll give Mexico and Canada more even of a spread of hosting with them. So that's my prediction... Confirmed: 2026 - Canada, Mexico, USA 2030 - Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Spain, Portugal, Morocco 2034 - Saudi Arabia Prediction: 2038 - USA 2042 - United Kingdom (England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland), Ireland 2046 - Australia, New Zealand 2050 - Canada, Mexico, USA: 2.0

Almost makes you nostalgic for the corruption of Sepp Blatter...

3 matches, congrats South America that's all you get until at least 2042. Having actually hosted most recently in 2014, that's 28 years

it’s why the UK are now hosting the euros because we basically got fed up with losing to corrupt FIFA bids - the UK has all the stadium, infrastructure and interest yet hasn’t hosted since the 60’s (well england anyway) Wales, Scotland & Ireland have never hosted which would go with FIFA’s supposed aim of widening the game, then you put in England the home of the PL and huge stadiums it’s wild it’s lost out to some of the nations it has

It's midnight in my country but I have this compelling feeling, it's strange, I just feel like running right now

My favorite fifa song rn “Runnin - David Dallas”

Damn I wish somebody would join me for a run

How about all of the rejected bids from the UK too. Arguably the best infrastructure in place to host the expanded World Cup. Good public transport. Good climate. Birth place of football. A country who could host the World Cup with little investment means fifa loses out on their bribe money…

It´s fucking insane that between 1982 and 2038 (56 YEARS!) South America is only going to host 1 (ONE!!!) world cup. I wouldn´t be surprised if a place like the UAE gets to host before much more passionate countries like Argentina or Colombia at this point. So disappointing...

Can’t wait till he then bends the rules for 2038 bidding because only Concacaf and Oceania can bid, all of this is idiotic, South America will go at least 28 years without hosting (that 3 game stint shouldn’t count) which is ludicrous

i don't know whats going on in these comments but I'm feeling like a run right now

Zealand needs to be careful. Saudi Arabia is very powerful and they may come looking for him to punish him. Not for saying that they are corrupt but for the way he mispronounces Saudi.

If it's any consolation, they also bought the AFC, with the next FIVE Asian Champions Leagues to be hosted in Saudi from the quarters onwards.

Something that has gone largely unnoticed is the 2038 World Cup can now only take place in CONCACAF or the OFC. So in all likelihood the US would be getting 2 in 4 World Cup’s.

i'll say it again, you've got a radio voice.

It should have been Spain, Portugal, Morocco in 2030, and South America in 34, and then force Saudi Arabia to actually have competition for 38. But I guess this means that the USA will be the host in 38 now because, and no offense to Oceania, is there any place that has the infrastructure in Oceania to host a 48 team WC?

I love how Sep Blatter was forced out due to cartoonist levels of corruption and greed.....and he was replaced by someone EVEN MORE CORRUPT

I mean as Zealand you should love a New Zealand bid with some pools in the Islands.

it's so disgusting what FIFA is doing, so blatant and vile.

It would be cool if these Zealandism vids could also be uploaded as podcasts

I mean, I'd be awesome to see the World Cup in Fiji

antarctica world cup please save us

FIFA? Corrupt? I’m shocked! Who would’ve thought!

You underestimate Kiribati, with the combined forces or London, Paris, Poland and Banana they easily have the stadiums and resources to host a World Cup while being in the OFC, then by using the monarch of Banana, his power and wealth will force FIFA into Kiribati 2034 🇰🇮

You know what isn’t rigged…running

Evermore - Running

And then FIFA keeps runnin', runnin'... and runnin', runnin'... and runnin', runnin'... and runnin', runnin'... Let's get it [the run] started!

Alfie/HITC Sevens was onto the same findings as you Z...

Messi wins WC. Mbappe top scorer(how many penalties?) Hakimi taking Morocco to the semis and Saudi's beating Argentina? 2022 was a disgrace

Isn't the 2038 Would cup also thus most likely going to be in US, Canada and Mexico again? seems like a double fix

Only one upload today? Zealand might finally be on his run he keeps talking about

Infantino is worse than Blatter. He tries to make himself look moral but he goes on and does this shit. Fifa is just a criminal organization that will never change. And it's so sad because after Qatar, Saudi Arabia could have still got it fairly. With all their money they could have done the best proposal in history but they had to go the Qatar way.

It's only gonna get worse. Expect "the world cup" to really only be hosted by Qatar and Saudi from now on.

As much as I would love the World Cup in New Zealand are stadiums are way to small 😅

Fuck it, let Antarctica host in 2034

I may be biased as an Englishman, but I'm a fair and reasonable Englishman, so I'd be interested to hear if that's not the feeling world wide. But I feel like the longer it goes without England (or UK) hosting a second FIFA World Cup, the more and more corrupt it seems. The place where the original laws of Association Football were written, with the oldest football clubs in the world, which was involved in the first ever international match. A country where ex-pats took the game to places like Milan, Barcelona, Brazil. A country a that has pretty good infrastructure (it's not perfect, but where is), and plenty of high quality, large capacity stadiums, with the richest football league in the world. Compared to the other major nations of Western Europe (which are also the only European countries that have won it), France had 1998, Germany 2006, Spain will have 2030, Italy had 1990. And all of those were (or will be) second times they've hosted the tournament. England just hosted it once, almost 60 years ago. Despite the time difference from here, I'd love to see an Australia hosted tournament for the men, the Women's World Cup was great over there. It's weird to me that USA will have hosted it twice in my lifetime, before I see a world cup here. That's no slight against the USA.

are ya running son?

Corrupt and all, Saudi Arabia kind of deserves the tournament. Compared to the travesty of Qatar and South Africa. Saudi Arabia at least has an acceptable record of competing in the tournament

FIFA should be closed down as an organisation and replaced with a new one that isn't hilariously corrupt.

Its unbelivebale how every fifa president seems to be the most corrupt and unlikebale and then the next one comes and is even worse. Its like fifa create someone in a lab and refine their formula

I sure do love listening to my favorite football obsessed yank to yap about various topics.

The dream is to see a World Cup hosted by Denmark, Sweden And Norway, would likely never happen, but the dream lives

The lack of pomp when you said United States was very unzealandlike 😂

Wait Messi won't be playing then... what would they rig it for?

Lovely day for a run?

I sure wish there was a way to walk faster that was a good way to exercise 😢

Technically AU/NZ women’s WC was a multi continent bid before the 2030 WC. Though it obviously was multi continent in a way that makes sense

We in the UK approve of the pronunciation of "semi-final" used in this video.

Let's get Japan to challenge this.

I’m not watching the 2034 World Cup soooooooo hard

Does it matter Football Is not Clean And hasn’t been ever So nothing is new

Btw what does this mean for the 2038 world cup. Fifa will have to scrap the rule or it will have to be held in the us/mexico/canada again. I doubt that any other concacaf counties have the resources

FIFA have a monopoly on football, that is the core problem.

oman to dubai is 4 hours bro ik its something different but still

I didn't understand what's bad for Saudi Arabia to organize a world cup?

I would love for the World Cup to happen in the uk. But probably won’t happen as the government woudnt want to pay for it. We have 34 stadiums that have a capacity over 30k, you woudnt even have to build anything compared to countries like Qatar or Saudi Arabia that has to build theses mega stadiums that never get used again. The biggest issue is our already terrible public transport would get crippled more than it already is, aswell as this is the uk government. It would end up being the most expensive World Cup ever as the tories line up their pockets.

Saudi Arabia doesn’t have close to the biggest sovereign wealth fund. They’re just the only country that doesn’t use it on the people living in their country and instead use it to look good on the world stage

The other thing, and I say this as an American, this also basically forces the US into hosting in 2038, which I think is super lame. It will cool to see two WCs so close to each other by 2 in 12 years is way too close to it for me. Let the other countries host it, especially in South America or Africa

In other news Grass is Green Sky is Blue Jack "The Hat" McVitie, Emilia Earhardt & Jimmy Hoffa are missing And Zodiac and the 3 blokes who escaped from Alcatraz have not been caught I hope that sums up my stance on FIFA corruption

Still got to get in the US Open Cup video eventually... especially with today MIN complaining about congestion to get out of it and deciding to send their MLS2 team instead of their main team to the tournament while scheduling a friendly for their first team against an Irish side the same day

I think gianni decided to plan his retirement in 10 years time. That's what the previous dude did, too

2034 WC in Noreth Korea, 2038 on the Moon

I can feel a cease and desist incoming

You should've seen South American discourse after this was announced. Everyone thinks the 2030 combined bid is a disgrace, like giving peanuts to a monkey.

Thank god they got rid of the confederation rotation after two world cups. That is crazy to single out most of the countries every 4 years! This is like it was in 2034… crazy how they gave no one countries anytime to bid for it!

blame the 2030 hosts for this

This situation sucks but cash is king. Either way I'm really excited for the World cup in Morocco, amazing people and amazing country, it will be a blast!

As a portuguese I hate that Portugal is hosting the world cup

australia isnt Oceania?

People say boxing is the most corrupt sport, and don't get me wrong, boxing is DISGUSTINGLY corrupt, but football really is a level above.

I feel like there has to be football culture in a nation to host the world cup. Not just desert and oilmoney. I don't care if they do F1 there because racing cars is all about money and burning oil.

Greenland is part of Denmark, Zealand 😅

man imagine a Japan 2034 would be amazing

I'm honestly impressed by the shamelessness of it. This goes beyond insulting people's intelligence, this is Infantino insulting his own intelligence. Saudi launching their bid immediately cracked me up, you can just imagine that conversation the next time they met each other "you westerners are funny with your silly games" LMAO I miss the good old days, like only 15-20 years ago, where savvy political manoeuvring involving some actual savviness. This is just one, tiny step up from outright stating Saudi Arabia wins cos money talks.

slight correction: Mexico is North America

Games gone

Thanks for a succinct explanation of this latest chapter in the FIFA circus Z, cheers! Oh ffs... just when you think FIFA can't top the bullshit they've already gotten away with, Infantino and co give reason for football fans to redefine our already incredibly low expectations. 🤬🤬🤬

good old FIFA

This could be a perfect opportunity for Xi Jinping to pull a troll and throw another bid in the mix... At the very least they would get to throw some serious egg on FIFA's face
