Will there be a 2nd World Cup competition? If so, when and where- this is especailly important for those of us who might "jump the pond" to be a part of it.

I think the intention was every 4 years - so 2011 would be the next one.
Travelling even further I'd really really like it if the country and month could be finalised at least a year in advance. I know some other aussies would really like 2 years notice. |

My understanding is that hosting doesn't necessarily go with winning. I think the decision will be down to the president of the day. |

Actually I'd really like to know about 2 years in advance Its a big trip bringing the whole family over for a couple of weeks - so being able to start planning with confidence well before would be good. I know other Aussies are in the same boat. |

With regards to the next cup, as I said to Doubleskulls on email the other day,..
With the Global recession and other hard times about, we think it would be a tough ask for a World Cup to happen in the next 18 months. At this point the objective is host again about 2011 and OMM and I breifly discussed this in our last phone call. I agree we need to give all concerned about two years notice but - in my opinion - that would be down to the elected President and that will happen this late spring. Announcements on that will follow soon, just getting other stuff done atm |

I think a 2 year notice would be nice also. A larger venue may be needed. I know a few more Americans are planning on attending this next time also. I think the scope of it last time has generated a lot more interest for the next go around.
I was thought the intent was the winning country was hosting the next world cup. I would love to go to France, I hear the food there is the best. I am also intending to take some language lessons where ever it is next.
I have already started saving for it so I will have a little more spending money. |

A lot of the Americans wish they couldn't understand him sometimes. |

That was never agreed to be the format. It is how Eurobowl works so I can see how some may get that Idea.. but that was never the idea behind the World Cup.
But yes, I have been to France some 20+ times (for 13 consecutive years, one week to play golf) and the food is indeed wonderful. |
