you wanted to create a system designed to guarantee corruption, you couldn't do much better than FIFA's discredited method for choosing between World Cup bids.A small collection of people representing a complex array of vested interests are wined and dined by bidding countries over a period of years with plenty of opportunities to make nefarious financial promises.
Why do it this way? Wouldn't it make more sense to generate a fixed set of criteria; send around a technical team to ensure that the countries that apply can fulfill this criteria and then put all the names in a hat?
No corruption and total transparency. Is there any serious objection to this idea that doesn't come from someone worried that they'll be unable to manipulate it to achieve their own ends?
