How the fuck did they actually give South Africa a WC?

It was the [redacted]

dooooooooooooooooootttt

Bribes, just like every other World Cup.

Do you incels seriously read nothing but /pol/?
They were doing continental rotations at the time, which they stopped. When it came to Africa's turn bids were
South Africa (just lost to Germany in 2006)
Morocco (who have been bidding since the 90s)
Egypt (who got no votes)
Tunisia and Libya had a joint bid pulled out.

>>149887836
Imagine going to /pol/

>>149884059 (OP)
FIFA decided to rotate it between the confeds and SA had easily the best setup for it

>>149887851
Bro explain to me, why are you Americans "like that"? It's like you're incapable of comprehending nuance, everything is either or to you guys and is essentially the 4chan way of seeing things. You need constant stimulation, like in Club World Cup someone who went there mentioned how every quiet moment would be filled with music or something. You seem to basically know nothing about the world, almost like self imposed North Korea repression. I'm not even going to get into the South Africa white genocide meme. I know you guys say America is huge and that's why you know nothing but that excuse doesn't hold up. And of course you seem to have this propensity to consume that I partly impresses me partly surprises me. For example, why are your kitchens fitted with the best equipment yet you guys don't cook. Like knowing how to cook in America is a big deal lol

>>149884059 (OP)
You had to be there to understand

The globohomos were going all out at the time. That WC played a key role in establishing the foundation for their upcoming global reset psyop, and holding it anywhere but the darkest and most gigapozzed country on the planet would have disrupted their flow entirely. At the time they didn't even care if they had the money or infrastructure to organize it, they just magically "found" 4 billion dollars and literally scooped motherfuckers off the streets to throw everything together in weeks. They staged the following one in br*zil in a sort of grotesque celebration of the end of the age of reason

>>149887881
when is the OFC’s turn?

>>149888391
When New Zealand has more than two stadiums that could host games

All of these answers are from zoom-zooms, from people who remember it its quite easy to answer:

SouthAfrica got straight up ROBBED in 2006. The 2010 hosting was basically a single-candidate competition (Morocco threw their hat in the ring but nah)

>>149888391
>>149888644
They ended the rotation system and said that a confederation cant host for the next 2 WC

OFC will be merged with Asia in less than 20 years

>>149888804
Morocco didn't "throw their hat in the ring" they've been bidding since the 90s and were the only other credible African bid. South Africa won it coz of established sport infrastructure ecosystem with rugby plus optics of African world cup going to black African country

>it's already been 15 years

IKR, I cant even make fun of zoomzooms for not knowing about it

South Africa was less of a failed state back then.

>>149888391
2022 was Australia's turn, New Zealand would've gotten their group games and potential qtr finals in NZ. That was the plan then there was infighting and corruption

It had to be in Africa but northern African countries are not African enough

>>149888804
This is absolutely true; they all agreed to give the 2006 World Cup to an African bid and then someone voted wrong and it went to Germany instead. So they had to rig the next one for South Africa instead.

But that doesn’t answer the main question of, why give it to an African country at all, ever? And the answer to that is blindingly obvious; lots of players are African and they love football and they’ve never had one before and also Africans love to pay bribes. Lots of reasons.

The rarest world cup is the one they gave to us in 1962. Chile was a complete shithole back then, even more than now.

>>149887836
>They were doing continental rotations at the time
Ah yes, the continental rotations of Sepp Blatter, totally an honest endeavor. Unlike today's shenanigans designed to just give the WC to whoever pays the biggest bribe haha. Now I rest assured SA was chosen with nothing but the love for football in mind.

>>149892437
Colombia was given the 1986 WC so FIFA clearly had no idea what they were doing.
Luckily Colombia realized there's no feasible way they could pull it off and Mexico bailed them out.

Landon Donovan's goal was pure kino europoors will never admit this

How the fuck did they award the USA another World Cup when '94 was a disaster?

>Want to visit the USA for the World Cup and Olympics
>That'll be an additional $250 saar.

>>149884059 (OP)
It was a great World Cup though, so I don't mind.

>>149904077
’94 was a roaring success though, americans are great at turning up to events and you have huge stadiums galore, it has the highest average attendance of all world cups

hottest ugly girl of all time

>>149904077
>94 was a disaster?
I'll slap the shit out of you

Why are people acting like South Africa had any money for meaningful bribe, they arent even the richest country in Africa

>>149904077
94 wasn't a disaster at all, dummy

>>149887836
>which they stopped
They haven't. Saudi Arabia didn't have any major competitor for the 2034 WC exactly due to this rule

2006 was supossedly going to be awarded to South Africa, but Germany won it. Evidence came out later afterwards showing the krauts did lots of lobbying to get the WC. FIFA calmed everyone down by deciding 2010 was going to be held in Africa no matter what, and SA was then awarded the WC.

Some of the underages itt seriously need to spend their time in /pol/

>>149905093
It was a different time, thoughbeit. The US wasn't fucking retarded and perpetually living in 2016 like they are now.

I don’t care but I can tell you watching it with /sp/ back then was fucking amazing fun

It’s the whitest country in Africa.
The infrastructure works there because it’s designed and built by whites.

It was the last soulful World Cup with its own clear identity

>Brazil
Saved only by the iconic 7-1 game, trash outside of that
>Russia
Sterilised to try and improve global image before fucking all the good will up before the next WC rolled around. Became boring and forgettable as a result
>Qatar
Winter cup with no actual home fanbase, the weakest home team ever
>North America
A logistical clusterfuck long before it became a political clusterfuck
>World Tour
An even bigger logistical clusterfuck done only to ensure the next one goes to who bribed them harder between China and Saudi Arabia with the only potential competition being an Australia-NZ joint bid
>Saudi Arabia
lol Winter Cup yet again

>>149887836
>which they stopped
huh?

>>149884059 (OP)
Because at the time it actually looked like SA had a pretty bright future. Lots of foreign investment, rapidly improving living conditions, a seemingly functional democracy...
All the problems they had seemed to be on the wane and the WC was thought to be a way to increase tourism and investment even more.
Unfortunately a year later Jacob Zuma became president and the collapse accelerated.

>>149909520
They literally have rolling blackouts, you imbecile.

>>149906731
>>149909729
now the rule is just that a continent cant host one if they hosted one of the previous two ones, at the time it was an actual rotation

I like you Kenya, I wish you guys did better in Cricket and happy that you guys were involved in the 2003 World Cup, don’t know anything about your soccer but I guess my fellow South Africans would never have consented to any matches being hosted by another AFCON nation. Like I like to believe if we get another World Cup and you/Zimbabwe/Namibia made it that we’d let them host games.

>>149884059 (OP)
cool it with the antisemitic remarks

2010 was quite kino from memory but it was mostly cos of the vuvuzelas and that Wavin Flag song

FIFA and Blatter specifically simply wanted an African nation to host the World Cup for the first time. It was supposed to be good PR and a sign of respect for Africa as a whole (if you're generous and willing to assume FIFA didn't only have their own ego in mind)
They didn't really want Egypt or Morocco or Algeria, but a "black" nation. South Africa beats Nigeria when it comes to overall wealth, infrastructure (partially because of their rugby and cricket traditions), and internal stability. The climate was also judged to be more pleasant, I guess. It had to be South Africa. Nothing strange about it once FIFA's ambition comes into play
It was a decent World Cup. Not perfectly organized, but in the end, everything went well. And the fans were passionate and memorable for sure. A nice change of pace. No other sub-Saharan country is capable of hosting

They were desperate to promote the sport in other countries. They did the same thing with the next wc but in a subtle way: "let's add more slots, surely india and china will quality and we are gonna get good tv deals!!".

Benni McCarthy is our NT coach lol.

pure soul

SA 2010 was pure shit and only rated by then-proto zoomers since it was maybe their first even WC. But to everybody else who was older than 12 and sentient back then we remember it being a snoozefest with shit football and boring matches other than the Uruguay one. Wild to see anyone being nostalgic for 2010 lmao.
