I believe they threw their hat in and then promptly removed it. The problems with the bid were quite typical of football in this city; poor venue, and politics. By poor venue I mean the fieldturf, which I believe was the main problem with using McMahon. I think it was the fact that the lines are permanent, but I could be wrong.

I got to watch parts of the Korea/United States match and that was quite a treat for the neutral! Korea played some beautiful football; their display was what I was expecting from Argentina in the Copa America. It was like watching an NBA team play a WNBA team, America just couldn’t keep up and looked like pylons on Korea’s goal. In the past I’ve talked about how Canada need’s focus on developing quality players, and I believe North America needs to emulate what Korea has done. They have come quite a way in what seems like a short period of time.
