World Cup 2026: Fifa blamed as train tickets set to cost $100

New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill accuses Fifa of failing to provide funding, which means fans must foot the bill for high transport costs at the World Cup this summer.

A lot of the comments to this article are in full support of the increased prices and also praise for FIFA, the tournament and America in general...

Harlem globetrotters overlooked again. Stopped hurting 5 or 6 tournaments ago.

Case hardened.

As with all things Trump he’s not pretending it is. Just open corruption and no one cares.

Let's just give Team USA the trophy. I mean, that's what they will demand. I'm sure VAR can be called on to help.

Yeah, let's have the Italians in.

That moment when 48 teams is still insufficient to fit all the crap in.

Bloody called it!

Imagine Italy just get invited to take Iran's place because of their prestige.

World Cup 2026: No Fifa plan to swap Iran and Italy after Trump envoy asks for switch

Fifa stands by comments made last week by president Gianni Infantino in which he said that "the Iranian team is coming, for sure".

www.bbc.co.uk

I hope Infantino continues to count on Iran's participation, only for them to pull out on the eve of the tournament and make an embarrassing mess for FIFA.

Why the hell would they want to come and play in Trump's US, given what's happening at home?

People care. Just not the people in power. Because *shocked face* they’re corrupt as well.
