Which stadiums do you think will be included in the bid?
Germany used 12 for the 2006 World Cup.
Will the FA go for the 12 largest venues or will they try and spread the tournament around the country?

Liverpool won't be playing at Anfield, so their new stadium. I doubt Everton will still be at Goodison. Birmingham City are also on about a new stadium, maybe that could be included.

I think you forgot Wembley...
I can't see them using 2 stadiums in Liverpool. They might in London and Manchester but I can't see them doing it anywhere else. Likewise, I can't see them using all 3 north-east grounds. St. James' Park will be used but I think the Stadium Of Light would get the nod over the Riverside because it's bigger and the Riverside still has access issues.
Wembley
Old Trafford
New Anfield
Emirates Stadium
St. James' Park
Villa Park or Birmingham's new stadium if it happens
Stadium Of Light
City Of Manchester Stadium
Elland Road or Hillsborough
Pride Park
St. Mary's Stadium or new Portsmouth ground if built
plus one more, maybe the Madejski or stadium:mk if they increase their capacities or maybe even the Olympic Stadium.

Apparently there's some rule against more than one city having more than one stadium, which would rule out one of City of Manchester and Emirates Stadium, given that Old Trafford and Wembley are both certs... they might get away with the new Everton stadium as it's just outside the Liverpool city limits.
Definites:
Wembley
Old Trafford
New Anfield
St. James' Park
Other possibilities:
Emirates
Stadium of Light
New Everton
Villa Park
Elland Road
New West Ham (60,000 capacity)
Olympic Stadium (they're bound to want to use it again)
Pride Park
St. Mary's
That's one too many, but the New West Ham and Olympic stadiums are probably too close together, plus they might not want as many as four in London.

I think you can have 2 stadiums in 2 citys.
There could be plenty more stadiums big enough by the time the bid has to be submitted.

The deadline for bids to host the 2018 and 2022 World Cups passed today.
The votes to determine the hosts for both competitions will be held in December 2010. Countries missing out on 2018 will be allowed to go forward to the 2022 vote, as long as the 2018 host isn't from their confederation.
Countries bidding:
Australia
Belgium/Holland
England
Indonesia
Japan
Mexico
Qatar
Russia
South Korea
Spain/Portugal
USA

Portman Road could well be used.
Holds 29k. Was used for England games before and spreads the stadiums to out here!?
And what about pompeys ground?

Are they building a new ground? Otherwise St Marys would be used ahead of Fratton Park 10 times out of 10.

Countries bidding: Australia Belgium/Holland England Indonesia Japan Mexico Qatar Russia South Korea Spain/Portugal USA I thought China were going to bid. I'd say 2018/2022 is much too soon for Korea and Japan to host again. Indonesia probably don't have a hope either. USA may also be too soon as well and the 1994 World Cup didn't exactly boost US interest that much. The shared bids will be ruled out. Australia England Mexico Qatar Russia That only leaves 5. Qatar are football unknowns and Russia is politically unstable. I'd say it's England in 2018 then Mexico/Australia in 2022 |

I'd say the following are all possibilities...
Wembley Stadium
Old Trafford
New Liverpool/New Everton
Emirates
St. James' Park
Stadium Of Light
New Birmingham/Villa Park
Elland Road
New Nottingham Forest
St Mary's/New Portsmouth
Hillsborough
Pride Park
Walkers Stadium
Madejski Stadium
Portman Road
Ashton Gate
Would be good to know the exact rules on number of stadiums per city etc though

Who is hosting it in 2014, if its a South or American country, or even the Far East, surely 2018 will go to a European country

Ashton Gate needs building onto. 20k attendance is not big enough, even for first round games.

I know, I said possibilities, they have more than enough time to build new stadiums from scratch. Each stadium needs at least 40k.

Mexico have already hosted it twice (the second time as a late substitute) which ought to rule them out as should the fact that 2014n is on the American continent. That should also rule out USA.
FIFA have made it clear they are not inclined to support joint hosts which would rule out two other bids.
Qatar has logistical problems. The dates would have to be moved as it is very hot in June/July. That shouldn't be used to rule it out but it might mean 2022 is a better bet to maximise the time for individual FAs to plan around a World Cup at a different time of year.
