So tell me why the WC won't be in North america in the near future again?

subsidizing competitions in other countries

Can you give me some detail on that? Which venues? and how much? why do they do that? in cash? sponsorship? how does that work? developing nations in the sport or what?

I called Pat Christenson, president of Las Vegas Events. He returned my call today. I won’t be able to get hold of him until next week, but when I do, I’ll report all that I find out.

Stay tuned.

I’m surprised by the free Livestream of the World Cup. Rolex is charging 12.99 for 4 days of livestream along with playback on demand. Even though free is great, charging a nominal fee might help defray expenses and possibly lower ticket prices.

I can’t say for sure, but I would suspect that there was some subsidizing for the finals held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (in 2006?).

Does anyone know where I can get official scheduling and ticketing information for the next two or three World Cups?
