U.S. Soccer Federation President Sunil Gulati believes his sport could receive a big domestic boost from hosting the World Cup in 2026. He also thinks scandal-plagued FIFA would benefit immensely from putting its biggest show back on steadier ground. ''It's probably now at least as important for the international community to be in the United States as it is for the United States, in terms of hosting the World Cup,'' Gulati said Thursday. It's as important for the global game and everything we've been talking about today, and keeping that brand, whether it's the brand of four letters or the brand of World Cup, where we would all like it to be.'' Gulati, a member of FIFA's executive committee, made his remarks during a discussion about the growth of soccer at the IMG World Congress of Sports in downtown Los Angeles.
