No India and no China. I am surprised they don't get automatic bids considering how big these markets are.

Joint cup hosted by India and China would be interesting. And a few games played in Nepal in high altitude.

Final should be played a basecamp on Mount Everest.

Or Bhutan could lobby FIFA with their bitcoin stack to host the final in 2042.

Haven't they been selling their Bitcoin?

Looks like they are down to 1750 BTC. They had 13k at one point.

I don’t know when the lobbying starts for 2042 but maybe the 1750 BTC will have some lobbying power by then.

I suppose they’ve still been mining even though they sold?

I am not sure. Certainly seems like they are slowly selling it all off.

India don't give a fuck about Football which is nothing close to Cricket's fun.

Cricket is a better sport than soccer. I can't disagree with that.
