i think we taking it a lil to serious. to be honest it is not anyhing to be taken literally. describing any place as the home of the World Cup takes some arbitrary judgements. For argument's sake.......England could be called the 'home' of football. why not? it is widely accepted they invented the modern form of the game. but the title does not necessarily allude to the game of football. could be just the world cup tournament. now even if England is the 'home' of football...that should have nutten to do with where the home of the WC is. For example..what if England never qualified for or participated in a WC? They'd still have 'invented' the game, but no way yuh could say they're the home of the tournament.
all yuh points have their own merits, but many can argue that the only team to be present at all World Cups has as much claim to call the Wrold Cup 'their tourney' as any of the tems yuh called there. it eh no scene. is just passion for the game. Go and listen to the German theme song for WC2006. It was called 'It's coming home'. Even the Germans think they're the home of the World Cup..and who is to argue that their fans can't say they are
In light of this thread I am firmly convinced that some men will argue over any and everything.
Anybody else happy that de World Cup back in de Americas...and most importantly, for the forumites at home (home being Trinidad and Tobago...lest we have another three pages)...it will be but a hop, skip and a jump away....or a small inconvenient encounter with Caribbean Star for that matter, before yuh partying wid de senhoritas
