The super powers also don't have to resort to illegal means as much simply because they are superpowers. That being said, I could agree to the World Cup going to big nations every time. You need a big population, a lot of money and a lot of space to organise it. I don't see why Fiji should be allowed to host one.
North/West Africa can host a World Cup adequately, and the new stadiums would've helped their developing footballing facilities/organizations. However South Africa gots dat dolla bill, and the have way stronger political pull then say Algeria.
I can bet my left leg that a stable footballing nation like Senegal or Ghana or even Mexico, won't get to host a World Cup as long as their $$ ain't straight.
The point of making different countries host this event should be to help them develop the footballing scene in said country, whatever is built should be built responsibly due to said nation's needs, so we minimize waste (see south africa/brazil), no point of building 80K stadiums in Algeria when your average Algerian league attendance is less then 20K.
Less world cup tickets is worth it, the hosting country will be having sustainable stadiums.

If the goal is to have the biggest possible tournament, and maximize the income, then the WC should be only hosted by these western countries or the odd asian/south american host.
Mark my words Australia is gonna host a World Cup before Ghana

Of course they are. They have good infrastructure, a country that is safe for tourists, enough money to build the stadiums and enough people to use the stadiums afterwards.
Ghana is financially stable, it's a reasonably safe country, huge footballing country, can provide infrastructure to host a decent amount of tourist. The only challenge would be the stadiums and that should be built within reason. Heck Ghana can even co-host with ivory coast, very similar culturally.
Australia makes no sense. It has very little to no relevency in the football world, nor does it appreciate the sport as ghana. Australia would make perfect sense for the eurocentric tourist that wants to see the same things in different places.

Man, I can't stand Australia. I sure as hell wouldn't want to have it there. But it does make sense, because a lot of the infrastructure is already there and Australia has the money to fund it. Relevancy in the football world is only important insofar as there are actual football fans. That's definitely the case in Australia.
Also, the World Cup was organised on African soil in 2010. It's far more likely to be organised in Oceania in the near future.
Why is that? Australia is probably more prepared to host a World Cup than Ghana. Major infrastructure already in place. Why should nations have to spend 100s of billions of dollar to create infrastructure?
That's the same argument people gave in the US in '94 and footie has been the fast growing sport in the US for a decade. Sometimes a World Cup can help a nation like Australia become more of a footballing nation.

Oh and Fresh, Mexico won't get a World Cup until they can get handle on the narco situation.

And if you throw in human rights violation during the pre Cup construction. Which I think may start being a bigger factor in selection than it is. It would be non-existent in nations like Australia, but still a problem with developing nations that need to borrow or rely on sponsorship to build hotels, stadiums, etc.
