2018

It will probably be Russia v. England. Putin and Abramovich are power players and have the power (political and financial) to make this work.

2022

This bid can be decided by who is not bidding, China. If China wants 2026, this thing is a slamdunk to go to the USA, the host of the most successful WC. China brings in another large audience and massive potential revenue sources. If not, anything can happen. Probably should go to the US and probably Australia but Qatar can give FIFA what it wants, massive kickbacks.
