The world at this present time is preoccupied with two possible wars. One situation concerns Russia and Ukraine, the other is centred on the Islamic State. The latter is really a world wide problem !
FIFA must be prepared for such eventualities ! The 2018 World Cup Final games are sheduled to be held in Russia and those of 2022 in Qatar, an Islamic country with a hot climate. If they have to be cancelled at a late date, for whatever reason, what would FIFA do ?
The Security of international visitors cannot be ignored ! The consequent Financial Loss for Football and FIFA is another consideration !
Should FIFA therefore, not systematically order a second vote to select a Reserve Venue for the Finals on the same day as the Vote for the Host country ? This second vote could select one of the losing bidding countries ?
Would it not make sense to adopt such a vote for a "Reserve Host Country" as normal FIFA Policy ?
Who knows what catastrophy could arise in future ? It could be a war, a revolution, a health problem (ebola !) or even an earthquake !
