England a long shot to host 2018 World Cup?

May 5, 2010 By Leave a Comment

The 2010 World Cup kicks on June 11, 2010 in South Africa. And even though that tournament has not yet started plans are already being made around which cities will host future World Cup tournaments.  The 2014 World Cup has already been awarded to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.  Now soccer’s governing body, FIFA, is planning for the 2018 and 2022 soccer World Cup.

FIFA has indicated that the 2018 World Cup will likely be hosted by a European country.  The early favorite to host the 2018 World Cup might be Russia, which impressed FIFA head Sepp Blatter when he visited the country recently. Other European countries in the running include; England, a combined bid by Spain & Portugal, and a combined bid by the Netherlands & Belgium.

One would assume that England would be one of the strongest candidates for the 2018 World Cup since they already have much of the infrastructure necessary to host such a large event.  But FIFA’s Blatter said “not sure” that England would be able to secure a win to host the tournament.  Which makes it sound like no matter how good England might look on paper, there could be other factors that prevent them from securing the right to host the 2018 World Cup. 

That said, anything can happen in these situations.  Many thought Chicago was the favorite to host the 2014 Olympics and IOC selected Rio de Janeiro instead.  So at this point England is still in the running, but it sounds like they’ll need to win over FIFA if they are going to host the 2018 World Cup.

2010 NFL season is on the clock

April 23, 2010 By Leave a Comment

The start of the 2010 NFL Draft last night officially means that the 2010 NFL regular season is on the clock.  The NFL just released the 2010 NFL schedules this week.  And it’s less than 4 months until the kickoff of the season, so now is a great time to buy tickets for the 2010 NFL season.  Grab tickets for all of your favorite NFL teams, including the 2009 Superbowl Champion New Orleans Saints.

The big stories that are generating a lot of early demand for 2010 NFL tickets:
1. The new Meadowlands Stadium will open in 2010.  Home openers for both the New York Giants and NY Jets are a hot ticket.

2. Everyone wants to see the New Orleans Saints.  The Saints were truly America’s Team last season and capped up a marvelous season by winning the Super Bowl in Miami.  That demand for Saints tickets has carried over into 2010, both at home in the Superdome and on the road.  The Saints take on the Pittsburgh Steelers at home on Halloween, which is one of the hottest tickets early in the year.

3. America’s Team, the Dallas Cowboys, are a top draw wherever they play.  The Cowboys are always a big ticket and this year is no exception.  Away games against the Indianapolis Colts and Houston Texans are both receiving a lot of demand.  Their home game against Saints on Thanksgiving is the biggest game on the home schedule.

4. Donovan McNabb returns to Philadelphia.  McNabb was traded to the Washington Redskins this off-season.  McNabb and his Skins play at the Eagles on Sunday, October 3rd.  Lots of Philly fans want to be at the Linc to see McNabb come home.

To buy NFL tickets for these teams or any other NFL team, please call 1-800-880-8886 or visit our NFL page at TicketCity.com.  To keep up with the latest moves your team makes, here is a link to an NFL Draft feature from our partners at Sports Illustrated.
