Bring 2022 to the US.
Basically anywhere except for Qatar would be a good choice. Australia, any European country, Canada, etc.
The mistake the FIFA guys made was they got arrogant. They weren't even trying to hide their corruption. They were also short sighted and foolish.
If they were thinking smartly, they would have let the USA win for 2022 in a close vote.
Sure, the USA is not going to hand over bags of cash up front, but there is a lot more money to be made on the back end by hosting a World Cup in the USA versus Qatar.
Also, giving the USA the World Cup would have been a great way to make friends with Bill Clinton. And whatever your political views might be, from a business standpoint, having a friend/ally who is that powerful is a useful thing.
