Re: World Soccer XI: To South Africa, and Beyond!
Midweek 3-3 draw against Chelsea and then 0-0 against Liverpool? Confusing as to where the scoring went against a lesser defensive team.

All Bay Area stadiums are unsuitable right now, but by 2022 I'd imagine the 49ers new 68,000 seater should be built. Northern California is too attractive a market for FIFA to ignore if they have an option.

Re: World Soccer XI: To South Africa, and Beyond!
The winners are being announced in a years time so I assume the bids will need to be finalized in 6 to 8 months, so unless the stadium is set to be built by then, or one of the existing agree to undergo renovation in that time you likely won't see the Bay Area as a venue. Particularly as existing structure is one of the strong suits for the US bid.
Of the 32 stadiums, there are 27 cities represented, for what I am going to assume is 12 spots (didn't see a target number on the site, so assuming 12 based on Germany '06 and Brazil '14)
My guess is LA, NYC, Chicago, Boston, Washington DC, Dallas and Seattle are safe bets to be chosen. Given that there are 4 Florida cities in contention, I'd guess 1 venue is chosen from Florida. With 4 assumed spots left I'd bet they come from Houston, Phoenix, Kansas City, Bay Area, or St. Louis. Possibly Detroit too since Columbus isn't on the list and they have two stadium options and those stadia are better options than Cleveland and I can't see USSoccer picking Indy.

Re: World Soccer XI: To South Africa, and Beyond!
They're selecting the bid but from the write ups I remember there will still be a lot of discretion in the bid for city/venue selection especially for facilities that are in the planning stages. They might select Stanfurd stadium as a placeholder for the region. In LA for example FIFA would almost certainly select the City of Industry Stadium that seems to have a pretty good shot at getting built.
If theres a brand new stadium in the Bay Area on line by 2017, I don't think FIFA, an organization that loves to ignore its own rules, wouldn't select it as a site.

Re: World Soccer XI: To South Africa, and Beyond!
to be fair, most south africans still use a combination of shiny stones and the barter system.
(Yes, to the sensitive out there I know its over the top... grab a beer, relax, take a walk, and ease that anger away.)
Frankly, not knowing how the affluent/everybody else stuff skews I'd suspect that's not unreasonable.

I'm pretty sure someone who finds a fact offensive isn't going to go for that.

Re: World Soccer XI: To South Africa, and Beyond!
Well considering that most places aren't going to go through with renovations or new buildings without winning the bid, I'd say no bid has their stadium lists/bid city lists finalized.
And remember it's far from a sure thing that the US will actually win one of the bids. England, Benelux, or Portugal/Spain could easily win 2018 and Australia could win 2022. The US has does have 3 strong things going for it, attendance and stadium capacity, ticket sales, and advertising revenue (and potentially TV revenue. A World Cup in the US could inspire some serious bidding for TV rights between ESPN/ABC, FOX, Univision, and NBC/Telemundo). But a lot negatives as well: It's the US (we aren't well liked), it'll be hot (major complaint from the 94 World Cup), it's too spread out, and we just hosted in 94.

Re: World Soccer XI: To South Africa, and Beyond!
Close enough to being props for me.
All I would have claimed is that we were getting drawn into a position, and it wouldn't necessarily be 2. You had a 1/3 chance of being right.

What a joke penalty decision deep in stoppage time. There better be 5 or 6 extra minutes after this with Palacio milking this as long as possible.

What a save. But a terrible taken penalty right down the middle.

Yeah, Don't really see how they could get a regulation Soccer field in the Big House without raising the field level up about 20 feet, but then you have the problem of not being able to use the tunnel there as well.
Yeah, that's a scam the Nigerians would run, and they would probably go about 50 bucks easy.

your WC 2010 predictor!
WC2010.XLS
If you want to improve it, such as make it break ties past goal differential, the protected sheet password is "wc".
Otherwise it seems to work well.

Re: World Soccer XI: To South Africa, and Beyond!
I had Serbia losing three times and their W-L-T showed up as 0-0-0
Also has the bracket setting up wrong. England and the US are shown as being able to play each other in the quarterfinals, teams from the same group can't meet a second time until the final.

good to know, those are easy fixes to make.
Its hard to catch everything on the first pass.
Edit: and they are now fixed.
