If Qatar and Russia do get stripped of the right to host the World Cup, who do you think will host 2018 and 2022?

If you think there will be a revote, please respond in the comments. My predictions on the new host locations in this scenario (No bias intended here, I am going based on infastructure, previous history of hosting World Cups, and soccer tradition) 2018: England (stadiums: Old Trafford, Stamford Bridge, Goodison Park, Villa Park, Emirates Stadium, Anfield, Wembley (World Cup Final) 2022: United States, (Stadiums: NRG Stadium, MetLife Stadium, Sun Life Stadium, New Atlanta Stadium, AT&T Stadium, University of Phoenix Stadium, New Minnesota Stadium, Rose Bowl (World Cup Final)

    I hope not. Originally my preference was Russia for 2018 and USA for 2022 but I'm happy with both nations to host the WC, of course, the way they got it was illegal so makes sense if there's a revote and if action is going to be taken then it should be a revote rather than just give it to a nation.

    But if they do get stripped, then wouldn't surprise me if England host 2018 and USA for 2022 since both have the facilities and both were the most vocal regarding corruption.

    I have to say USA would probably host 2022. They were initially strong bidders before Russia.

    Only the USA and Germany are ready for immediate world cup competitions without having to build or upgrade their stadiums.
