  They are intimately connected, aren't they? Twice as many WCs, twice as many chances to sell your vote. FIFA the org doesn't need more money, any extra they get will get pocketed with intra-org admin, where the jobs are also doled out as favours.

    Not necessarily. Twice as many World Cups is a massive money making opportunity irrespective of sold votes. Unless you argue the pursuit of more money is inherently corrupt (…which I don’t know I’d entirely disagree with!)

      Pursuit of money for your organisation is not corrupt at all, yes. You might not like it, but it's an entirely separate thing. (Just like it's silly to call everyone you disagree with politically either a fascist or a communist. They are other bad things, too!)

      It's not automatically a massive opportunity. It's reasonably likely that it dilutes the specialness of the product, makes it less attractive, and then it makes less money per iteration.
