If Blatter resigned before the election, then Ali would have won the election uncontested.
Now Blatter in a re-election, Blatter can have one of his cronies run.
Sure...but, also, some of the other candidates who dropped out because they saw that Blatter's direct control made him unbeatable could also rejoin the run.
It's because the event is a gigantic money pit. This lets the US throw a few group games our way and in exchange we help finance this mess.I'm surprised Mexico and USA agreed to this.
Even with the expanded tournament I don't think the US needs any help hosting.
I guess Canada will finally qualify!

The operations, security and administration costs are substantial. Even if you don't build a single stadium the host costs far outstrip gate receipts and broadcast revenue.But most of the costs have to do with stadium construction. The US wouldn't need to build suitable stadiums.
60 games in the US, 10 in Mexico and 10 in Canada
