Oh yes, and what pray tell are those two continents?? Europe certainly isnt one of them. Just look at Euro 2004, a lot of the football was horrific at best and by all acounts the organisation with regards to ticketing and so forth was appalling.
Furthemore you are drawing generalisations to not just districts, cities or countries... but whole continents! South Africa hosted the 2003 ICC World Cup without a hitch and there were more than 1,000,000 fans who attended games.
'The ground is too hard' oh boo hoo, go have a cry! I'm 14 and I know that while there are differences in different pitches you simply adjust. You're telling me that grown men, who are supposably the worlds best players cant adjust to the pitch being a bit harder?? Thats ridiculous. You're conspiracy theories are also ridiculous, FIFA have said they intend to rotate the World cup hosting between confederations. All countries suffer the same limitations in hosting because of that so don't act like its a big conspiracy to deprive england of the right to host the world cup.
I find it odd but there seems to be a real 'us against the world' mentality on these forums.
