No chance theyll give us the mens world cup. Too much money involved in a mens world cup.

Melbourne will only get group games and a quarter final at AAMI Park. FIFA won't allow the joint use of venues just like the men's world cup so the MCG and Docklands can't be used unless the AFL had agreed to shutdown their season for a couple of months.

Brisbane and Auckland will host the semis while Sydney's ANZ Stadium will host the final.
