In order to end some of the divisiveness and politicking that we saw during the 2006 World Cup campaign, a rotating of hosts for the World Cup is the only viable solution in my opinion.

In a perfect world, the country regardless should be awarded the tournament. But this world is not so and FIFA should seriously consider the proposal.
The UEFA president and Sepp Blatter has already voiced some support for the rotation World Cup idea.

Europe would get the World Cup more often because they have more potiential bidders for the tournament.
I say they get it every 16 years while the other federations gets it every 24-28 years:

2002 Asia
2006 Europe
2010 Africa
2014 S. America
2018 CONCACAF
2022 Europe
2026 Oceania
2030 Asia
2034 Africa
2038 S. America
2042 Europe
2046 CONCACAF
and the process continues.
