It would be excellent to see the World Cup here and given Canada's excellent job of hosting the minor FIFA tournaments they will receive consideration in the future, longshot though it would be.

Couple of points.
England getting 2018 might depend on whether they qualify for 2010 or not. Missing out on 2 major tournaments in a row may sway some voters.
Also as browna mentioned, Brazil will be a disaster and may even be moved. If Brazil is moved to the US for example, then Canada would have no chance to host in 2018.
