2030 World Cup in China

>Asia’s football body has given the thumbs up to an eventual 2030 World Cup bid by China and insisted the world’s most populous country deserves greater representation at the tournament.
>Chinese Football Association vice-president Zhang Jian said FIFA's rotation policy probably ruled out a return to Asia in 2026, after Qatar hosts the World Cup in 2022.
>"England or another European country will probably get the World Cup in 2026, but for 2030 the outlook is really good for us", Jian said.
>With Chinese President Xi Jinping eager to host and even win football's biggest tournament, conjecture is centring on when rather than if the World Cup will go to China.
>Chinese football has made huge strides in recent years owing to the rise of its domestic league, whose lavishly financed clubs are attracting top players and managers.
>Jiang said the Chinese Super League now wanted to reach the level of the top divisions of Europe, which remain the world's leading football competitions.
>"We should be professional and try to be a better league and catch up with the higher levels of European leagues," he added.
>Jiang was also confident that China's growing legion of foreign players would help the national team, rather than hinder the development of home-grown talent.
>"China's national team is a problem. Obviously we haven't been very good over the past few years," said Jiang.
>"But the Super League is a very important base for the national team and you can notice we're trying to build our national team better," he added.

It's the only way they'll qualify

>2030 cup going to anyone but Uruguay

Same here. Atleast I'll be able to tell my wife and kids (great joke right?) That I saw Meme Magic as it happened when Leciester won the Premier League.

Of course this is assuming leciester is still in the FA Football system and not in Division 8 or somethinf.

>"England or another European country will probably get the World Cup in 2026, but for 2030 the outlook is really good for us", Jian said.

>2026 not going to anyone other than 'Murrica

>2030 not going to anyone other than Uruguay and Argentina

Are they this delusional?
