I'll put 'Germany' as an acceptable answer for West Germany as the stats suggest people aren't guessing them both

Very good, There was quite a lot of time to guess countries at the end though. Maybe 5mins is better. Also, maybe South Korea could also be a secret answer as they made a solo bid to host the 2002 cup which was rejected and so they returned with a joint bid with japan that won.

Colombia were actually awarded the 1986 World Cup, and were all set to host the tournament until an earthquake devastated the country and Mexico stepped in as replacement hosts.

5 minutes still a little too much time, I think. The countries that could possibly bid for this are pretty limited.

I've updated the 2018 and 2022 entries, and reduced it to 4 minutes!

Shave another minute, this was too easy. Although you should accept Portugal/Spain and Belgium/Netherlands separately.
