Games at World Cups are played across several hours. Look at this one - match 1 at 10am, match 4 at 7pm. With that in mind, I doubt the time difference is much of an issue, certainly no more than an Olympic games.

I think 2030 may go to the joint bid between Argentina / Uruguay
Unfortunately the only African one so far in SA one wasn't great...yes, I know Morocco/Tunisia are very different places to SA. Perhaps Algeria could get involved too?
Australia should also get a chance soon IMO.

Fantastic refereeing that was, terrible call from the VAR officials
I can’t believe they are even contemplating giving penalties for balls that ricochet onto a hand from literally 6 inches away, bizarre.

Brilliant from the ref...wow
Well done ref there was an obvious push before the hand ball
Var teams are just trying to make drama.

The syndicate money is on Tunisia for the draw. Ref just earned himself a large bung.

For giving the correct decision?
The VAR team obviously had Denmark in the ‘syndicate’ then as that was a ridiculous review.
I can't really understand why more wasn't made of that. Absolute blatant push in the back by the Danish number 7 well before the ball reached the defender whose hand it hit.
Why? It was the right call. If you look at corner a Tunisia player was wiped out off the ball well before the handball. Hence why he gave the freekick and not continue with the corner.

Surely you're not suggesting that the ref has got a tenner on the game?

Genuine question - where the hell do people finds eight hours a day in midweek to watch football, hold down a job, do the shopping, washing, eat healthily, talk to your family and all the other choirs of modern stressful life?
Alright for some.

4 on 4 off shift patterns are fantastic at times like these

I wouldn't have a problem with Argentina/Uruguay getting it other than it being a second consecutive world cup in the Americas. It would be a cracker though.
Australia definitely need one.
I'd be perfectly happy if the three from 30-38 were the ones you mention in no particular order.

Just read this - even better.....
On 31 August, it was suggested Paraguay would join as a third host.[6] CONMEBOL, the South American confederation, confirmed the joint three-way bid in September.[7] The Uruguay–Argentina–Paraguay bid would coincide with the centennial anniversary of the first FIFA World Cup final hosted by Uruguay as well as the bicentennial of the first Constitution of Uruguay. On 14 February 2019, Chile revealed their plans to join the three confirmed countries in hosting the tournament. Chile was accepted in the bid and will become the first-ever quartet to bid for the World Cup.
