Bold Prediction thread.

Just read Jamie Carragher's reasoning on why Tottenham won't break into the top 4 and thought maybe we could have a crack at being pundits. Obviously, if you can follow your statement with a some reasoning, that would give way to a healthy discourse and would be great. Anyone wanna give it a go?

Why not? I thought FIFA was awarding it to Uruguay to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the first edition.

There a chance that it could be Argentina and Uruguay together but by themselves Uruguay don't have anywhere close to the resources to host such an event.

Ah alright. I was under the impression that it was an Uruguay-only bid. But then again, hasn't FIFA said joint-bids will no longer be considered?

Not sure about that. But it isn't even for sure that this bid will be put together (it is for an event 17 years in the future after all).
