I have gathered the data of all World Cups together after the ruling went against us the other day in England's World Cup bid to see if I could make sense of the decision. It makes some sense to me when I've correlated the data however I do not agree with a team never having qualified in their own right hosting the competition. In my opinion Saudi Arabia would have been a more sensible choice. The first number is total appearances the second times hosted.

For the purpose of this data gathering and manipulation:

East and West Germany are combined in the single instance that East qualified for the World Cup it was also held in West Germany therefore I have disregarded East's qualification.

Australia is counted as Oceania although they now qualify from Asia since it is my belief they would joint host with New Zealand.

Defunct countries such as USSR, Czechoslovakia and Serbia and Montenegro are counted as their main remaining country.

Yugoslavia is still counted towards the totals although is no longer in existence.

The jointly hosted Cup in S. Korea / Japan is counted as being held in Korea for no other reason than S. Korea have more Cup Appearances.
