But there are two major hurdles: 1: the performance of the socceroos in the next 4 years, and most particular the world cup in 2010. If the socceroos makes it to the finals again, and to the second round, then I would say the chances of hosting 2018 world cup would be realistic. So it entirely depends on the socceroos. 2nd: Perhaps more challenging: Arrangments with the AFL, NRL. Both code will have to give up 8 weeks of games in the middle of their season. Because the tournament historically have been hosted in May-July. If Australia can pull off the arrangement to host the tournament in October/November, Or Feb/March/April. That is unprecendent and clearly will disrupt the soccer seasons in other nations. Then AFL/NRL won't have problems. But I think it is unlikely so we will face the facts that AFL/NRL will have to give up 8 weeks in mid season. Very very tough. Although I can see this being strategically done and after negiotations; such as having the MCG only for the finals. So AFL can't use the MCG for two-three weeks, and Telstra Stadium being opening ceremony and hosting games throughout the tournament. And the NRL can rotate the fixture so the teams would have a bye or away games when their home are being used by the World Cup. Realistic: Australia have potential to host the world cup in 2018.

But....I want to see the 2018 WC go back to England, the homeland of football, we have the stadiums and the cities to pull it off, and by 2018 England won't have hosted it for 52 years!

Apparently it is going to be really big to accomodate for the brisbane games as well. Including NRL and AFL. Here are some links I found which may be an interesting read. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_FIFA_World_Cup http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_FIFA_World_Cup Niko, don’t forget the soon to be stadium on the Gold Coast.
