I'll probably have to travel just as far as many Euros would have to travel in 2018 if I wanted to see the USMNT in the WC in 2022.
If Mexico or Canada hosted it any time between 1994 and now, I'd understand the "only 28 year" logic.
Well, the world is a very large place and 28 years doesn't take in that many World Cups. Mexico had it in 86. I don't think you can claim a right for it to be in one of these countries every six or seven World Cups, particularly when football is not a main sport in the US. It sucks for you as an American football fan (unless you get 2022) but that's the way it is.
