not having the tournament in Europe from 2018-2034 would be a big surprise to me, the US would be the only thing that gets in the way of that IMO
if Canada wants to win this they need to go the Qatar route and while we have the oil, I dont think we are so willing to bribe as they were...

Europe can't host in 2026 since Russia is hosting in 2018, making them ineligible for the next 2 world cups (2022 and 2026). Uruguay in 2030 sounds extremely unlikely. FIFA requires a minimum of 8 stadia over 40000 seats, with only one city allowed to have 2 venues. Uruguay is a country of 3.3 million people, more than half of whom live in Montevideo. I just don't see it happening. More than likely england hosts in 2030.
As for Canada hosting in 2026, it's about time we showed some ambition as a soccer nation. It's at least plausible that we can build/upgrade the venues in the 12 years leading up to 2026.
