Trump will take it. I'll be shocked if Morocco does.
Morocco should have put in a better bid/pitch than they did. They had alot of advantages:
1. The biggest is the time zone. Most countries are on a closer time zone to Morocco than the America bidders meaning TV revenue from live matches will be high and this is a key factor.
2.Morocco is also a cheaper destination for the fans and travel from one stadium to another is faster and cheaper due to proximity.
3. Voting could favor them if they did their lobbying well as the system was changed to a country-a-vote system from the delegate voting. If they get all the 50 African votes and add another few from middle east and Asia, they are in. Not forgetting retaliatory votes from all the s#it hole countries.
Disadvantages for Morocco:
1. America bidders already have the stadiums ready.
2. Politics & money
3. UAE who will be the 2022 hosts are very near to Morocco and is also a Muslim nation.
4. They put in a weak proposal.
So I feel that politics will win the day and Trump will have his way, after all 3/4 of the matches will be in the US.
BBI will solve it :)
