Absolutely not.

I believe it is Russia's turn in 2016, but it depends what they are willing to put into it. Also, World Cup 2010 in South Africa is a big step for international tournaments.

You're going for Russia right after London? They must have a spectacular bid. They better not get 2014 then.

And yes, 2010 WC in South Africa is very exciting. Every international sporting organization in the world will be watching that.

Why not, I kind of see Eastern Europe as seperate from Western Europe in these terms because of the competition that used to exist in the Olympics between the western and Soviet worlds.
True, if they get 2014 they shouldn't get 2016, nor will they likely want them both.

Lies.

There are many fat people who watch the olympics.

Why? I dunno. They hate exercising, why watch it?

That's how I feel about all sports. I like to play them, but watching them is a concept that escapes me.

Congrats Chicago! The city of Brotherly...err...I mean the windy city. 😛

I was just a young kid when the Olympics took place in Los Angeles. I do remenber some of the festivities and events before, during and after. It was a fun experience for me.....hope you kids have fun in 2016.

I do not feel compelled to pretend to like something that I do not like.

Agreed!

Rio look like it will get the 2014 World Cup now. Columbia withdrew this morning...more good news for Chicago.

I doubt my country would Make the world cup to S.A. But I bet my balls they would make 2014. 😄
