2026 FIFA World Cup - General Chat

[TexanToffee]

I hope they don't meet any idiots who think all Americans are the same as the maga-tts. I really feel for them.

Jus speaking from my own personal experience. Each time I've been to either Britain or Ireland I've received nothing but but warm welcomes from most everyone I've interacted with. Honestly kind of goes with how you'll be treated most anywhere, but I never got any real flack for being a yank overseas.

I wonder if they've managed to improve the surfaces or the TV production crews.

That’s soldier field in november. That’s basically the worst surface in American sports. The World Cup pitches will be better.

What could possibly go wrong?

Fifa World Cup: ICE will be 'key part of security' in US

The acting head of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has told a congressional committee that the agency is "a key part of the overall security apparatus for the World Cup" when asked if he would pause operations for this summer's tournament.

Why are the fa offering tuchel a new contract when we dont even know if hes any good yet? He could go out of the world cup early and then we are stuck with him

At this point you would have to be a nutter to attend this World Cup

Unless your attending games in Canada and Mexico

My enthusiasm for it is dead.

Nothing to do with the craziness in your country but how disgustingly greedy FIFA have been at every step of planning this.

I had thought about travelling and going to some matches when it was announced Canada would get some. I knew Ottawa wouldn't be on the list but Vancouver or Montreal for a few weeks sounded alright.

Then I read about the pricing and immediately decided against the entire thing.

This World Cup isn't for the supporters. It's for the sponsors and suits.

"They don't know why"

Well there's a surprise.

"They don't know why"

Well there's a surprise.

Hah, I laughed. I and many others I know were excited having a world cup here we could go to and were making plans for it.

And I dont know a single person going. Because it turns out we CANT go to it unless we are super rich.

I have zero interest in attending a match. Or more accurately, I have zero interest in paying to attend a match.
