INDONESIA has become the third Asian country to submit a bid to host either the 2018 or 2022 World Cup finals.
World governing body FIFA revealed yesterday that the Indonesians, who drew 0-0 with the understrength Socceroos in Jakarta on Wednesday night, had formally submitted an application.
Indonesia joins Japan, Qatar, England, Russia and co-applicants Spain and Portugal as contenders to stage the second-biggest sporting event in the world.
Australia, China, Mexico, plus joint applicants the Netherlands and Belgium have also indicated they will bid for the finals.

And one more blog that I found interesting, that people kinda need to change their perceptions on Indonesia as a dangerous(?) place for hosting the Cup:
