FRANZ Beckenbauer believes Europe should host the World Cup in 2018 after South Africa and Brazil stage the next two finals.
The former World Cup-winning captain and coach with West Germany stopped short of endorsing any individual bids but said England would be capable of hosting the tournament. "It's (the decision) too far away, it's more than one year to go," he told Australia's Sun-Herald: "(But) It will be Europe's turn (in 2018). As a UEFA member, I would like to see it in Europe but it is an open race as to which country might get it. England could host it tomorrow because they have the stadiums, the infrastructure, the fans, everything. But there are a lot of other different countries bidding. Let's wait and see."
