Do you realise what this means?

Roma, Treviso, wine, the best hospitality and atmosphere, fiercely loyal supporters . . . .?

Hope they succeed in their bid!

That could be a fantastic World Cup. I endorse their bid!

As much as I love this idea, will the Italians have sufficient suitable stadia to host it? Roundyball is even more of a god in Italy than here so I can foresee problems trying to use its grounds during the domestic season.

TBH wouldn't mind the WC going to a American country either South or north

I went to an International in Italy once.
It snowed and Rome instantly closed down.
We had to walk from the stadium to the hotel in snow 3 cms deep.
Would I go again?
Yes, of course I would.

InGuinnessVeritas, your glass is half empty! They have probably thought about stadia

Ragent Bull -Time for a divorce if the US of A is preferable to Italy!

With you all the way, Red Boots!

This would be a really good choice and maybe you would actually be able to get tickets to England games then

Wales will probably try to get a few games at the millennium stadium....

Are you referring to the 2012 Italy v England 6N match? That was a weekend to remember! In fact, I wish I could.

Tell us something new.

A lot can happen in Italy in eight years.
