Well done FIFA

[Hardyman's Yugo]

Regarding the kick off times I am sure they were on decent times in the UK for the 94 World Cup

Early and late evening iirc. Also depended on where in USA it was. There were only half the number of teams as there are in this tournament though

 

[The Truth]

I have a feeling it'll be the worst World Cup ever

It'll actually be some achievement to take that title from South Africa, but I think they have the potential to do it.

 

[The Sage]

FIFA just going to new levels of contempt....

Infantino peptalk " we know it's a stretch but our team is really committed, really connected and if we can stay together as one team, we think we can make this the worst ever WC. We just have to keep believing."

FIFA are a joke. Infantino should be put up against a wall and shot.

vile ***** man, $10 a bottle too no doubt

Absolutely bewildered reading that headline earlier

Presumably if you buy a bottle of water there you're now prevented from taking it to your seat?

In temperatures that could exceed 40 degrees, you'd think this was more about a grift than player safety, the sweaties will be OK they can hid one in there sporran.
Just glad I'm not going

Water in a sporran! Are you mad, you'd traumatise the poor creature. Only water allowed in a sporran is uisge beatha!

I can see how this came out wrong, let me rephase, water bottles under your sporran, you'd probably be able to brew tea with it, before you could drink though

That's still cooler than it was for the poor feckers in the east stand against Chelsea

Hope this is an absolute shambles.

Empty seats, players denied visas, protests, the works. Hope Trump finds the whole thing embarrassing and starts lashing out at Infantino, hope teams start pulling out, hope it all descends into anarchy.

100% this. No interest at all. I honestly Don't know who England have in their group. Or which players are or aren't going.

I was planning to watch the Canada game on 12th June.

Ticket prices on FIFA website (face value not the secondary sale) were $2030 category 1, $1575 category 2 and $950 category 3.

A total f***ing disgrace. They can stick it where the sun don't shine. So if Canada's gane is in a half empty stadium that's why. It's the premium that are charging for host nation games!

Conversely, my category 3 England v Panama ticket on 27th June was $220.

Which is still outrageous.
