⚽️ Fascinating Dilemma Of 2027 World Cup Bids

The spread of women’s soccer makes finding the right 2027 World Cup host challenging. [View in browser]( [FOX SPORTS INSIDER WITH MARTIN ROGERS] In today’s FOX Sports Insider with Martin Rogers: With the worldwide growth and talent boom, the 2027 World Cup will bring a new problem in deciding on who should be chosen to host it … Nick Bosa wants a new deal, which if it comes to fruition, could set a new standard for defensive players … and more! The World Cup is the most popular tournament in women's soccer, but it is also a showcase, an unrivaled opportunity for some of the brightest stars in the game to be seen, heard and for the full weight of their ability to translate before a global audience. France's Kadidiatou Diani and Colombia's Linda Caicedo are getting attention because they're playing lights-out soccer, Australian hero Sam Kerr is making waves because there's some mystery about when her brilliance will be fully unleashed. Lauren James of England is in the headlines for the wrong reasons, while others big-time icons like Alex Morgan and Alexandra Popp will feel that a golden chance to flex their quality has come and gone. Yet what this tournament is also showcasing is how women's soccer isn't just deeper these days, like everyone has spent the past several weeks talking about, but is also – in a geographic sense - wider. The round of 16 featured teams from Europe (8), Asia (2), South America (1), the CONCACAF region which includes the United States (2), and, in a historic high, three from Africa. This kind of spread is not always present, is overwhelmingly good for the overall health of the game, and also creates a fascinating conundrum when looking at where the next World Cup should be staged. The tournament finds itself in a rare spot in that here we are in August 2023 and the 2027 host has still not been announced. There are four years to go, and no decision in the immediate future, not until a meeting of the FIFA Congress in May of next year. By comparison, when the 2015 and 2019 tournaments were played, the next host was already ratified and advertised, and preparations were underway. When Qatar was awarded the 2022 men's World Cup, the decision was made a full 12 years ahead of time.

[BET OF THE DAY] Odds provided by [FOX Bet]( Miami Hurricanes to finish 2023 season with OVER 7.5 wins (+138) From FOX Sports Betting Analyst: Geoff Schwartz I watched Mario Cristobal coach for four seasons at Oregon, and his Hurricanes are going to follow the same path as Cristobal’s Ducks. In Cristobal’s first season in Eugene, the Ducks went 8-4 with a blue-chip roster and a young Justin Herbert. The next season, Oregon went 10-2 in the regular season and won a Pac-12 championship. Cristobal notched 10 wins again in 2021 before heading to Miami. Last season, his Hurricanes struggled and got just five wins in 12 games. It was not the season anyone expected, but Miami had injury and roster concerns. Now, Cristobal has turned over the roster and his two coordinators. We know he can identify talent and will win in the trenches this season like he did at Oregon. The Hurricane schedule features road trips to North Carolina and Florida and a home game against Clemson, but otherwise, it’s manageable. I’m taking them to win at least eight games.
