Insight into how the soccer economy in U.S can be powered by South American diasporas: Cheapest resale ticket this week for USMNT games v Belgium and Portugal at $19 and $42. But for Brazil v France in Boston it was $500 minimum on gameday. Colombia v France $150 tomorrow.
I won’t allow the World Cup to assist ICE agents in meeting the President’s daily quotas. That’s why I introduced the Save the World Cup Act—to stop ICE and DOJ from accessing federal funds to conduct civil immigration raids. End the chaos. Protect the games.

There is no successful World Cup if fans are afraid of being wrongfully detained. There is no successful WC if stadiums and cities aren’t properly secured. I spoke with @AdamCrafton_ and @TheAthletic to discuss all the question marks surrounding the World’s biggest event.⚽️
FIFA will allow broadcasters to cut away to advertisements during the “hydration breaks” that will split up each half of every 2026 World Cup match, multiple people briefed on the guidelines or with direct knowledge of them told The Athletic. Soccer’s global governing body announced in December that it would introduce a three-minute break midway through each 45-minute half at the World Cup. It promoted the breaks as a “player welfare” measure, but said there’d be “no weather or temperature condition in place, with the breaks being called by the referee in all games.” FIFA officials also discussed the change with broadcast executives, and three sources, including one at FIFA, have now confirmed to The Athletic that broadcasters will be permitted to flip away from the match feed to show commercials, as they would during halftime or a timeout in basketball or American football. @HenryBushnell 🔗 nytimes.com/athletic/70813…
