I suspect all the Mexican and all 3 Canadian cities will be picked, leaving 10 US Cities.
The Final is in New York as expect LA, Dallas, Atlanta, Miami and Washington DC to be there. The other 4 I'd pick Houston, Denver, Seattle, Philadelphia or Baltimore.
It's a touch pick and it's not great that it's a 3-country host...never liked that idea. I would hazard a guess that the US alone could have beaten Morocco. Ah well....it should be a fun time in 8 years.

| Also don't like the 48 team tournament. Too many. This is the only way it can be hosted is with multiple country bids. But yeah, Canada & Mexico get their 3 cities. My 10 USA hosts would be: New York, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Orlando, Houston, Denver, Seattle, Los Angeles, Bay Area, Washington DC.

| A 48-country field doesn't have to hosted by multiple countries---just large ones with the right infrastructure. I agree, 48 is WAY too many. 32 was just fine. That said, the US could easily host a 48-country field all by itself.

| The one intriguing thing about a three-country hosted World Cup is that FIFA has yet to decide if all three get automatic births.

I was thinking about that when they announced this. CONCACAF qualifying would be pointless if all three got in with the format we have now. With a 48 team field, you can definitely pull that off.

Judging by this year's Cup, CONCACAF qualifying is already pretty pointless
