    This cup is going to be such a fucking disaster and I love it.

      Honestly, same.

      Could have been a great event, especially here in KC where we’ve had events with a million-plus people go off with less than ten arrests multiple times in recent memory.

      But the billionaires, the fascists, and the bureaucrats have ruined it like they do with every fucking thing. I hope it fails spectacularly.

      Yup.

      Zero interest in sports but looking forward to YouTube autopsies of this clusterfuck of a trainwreck.

      I have no interest but it’d be hilarious if we (Canada) and Mexico can turn a profit on the thing while the US is passed over like the fly-over nation it so wants to be

        Oh PLEASE I would love to see that. It makes me sad that this regime has got me cheering for the country to fail quicker so the cult will wake up so we can actually have some change.

        This is the bigger problem. FIFA still got their money because scalpers bought the tickets. They don’t care about hotels or scalpers as their bottom line still got padded.

          But is it first order scalpers or secondary? It would be just as hilarious to see Ticketmaster or whatever company stuck with the bill.

      Dude I hate football because it’s corrupt and most players just act like children, but It’s the first time our national team (Jordan) reaches it and with a promising lineup too :(
