If the US gets the World Cup in 2022, which cities do you see hosting?

[RaymondChandlerLives]

DC should be on the list.

21 years ago the cities chosen were:

San Francisco
Los Angeles
Chicago
Dallas
Orlando
DC
New York City
Boston
Detroit

I'd replace Detroit with Seattle, Dallas with Houston, and Orlando with Miami.

The U.S. isn't getting the WC. Obviously it's going to Qatar.

And we already know the cities that would host. Only certain stadia meet WC regulations.

FIFA is so corrupt but they never take our bribes they always back ball the USA lol

They hardly care if the weather is hot and Atlanta and Houston's stadium will likely be enclosed anyway.

Cleveland Browns Stadium seems to host a decent number of friendlies/other international events. Is there a reason why it gets these as opposed to what seem to be newer, state of the art stadiums? Some stipulation there about being outdoors?

Also it's a shame Orlando wouldn't be up for consideration as they have embraced OCSC.

Seattle strikes me as a must, as does NYC, Washington and LA.

Shame is that many of the MLS Specific Stadiums are probably too small to host.

Exactly. If the World Cup was in Houston it would be played in NRG stadium and not at BBVA Compass Stadium so weather doesn't matter.
