@florianederer Both A and C. I haven't been to B in a long time

I flew out of Newark this past week which is one of the closest airports to a World Cup stadium and there was basically no sign of the World Cup.
But that's normal in the US. The hype doesn't start until about a week before a sporting event.

Is it me or is there just zero buzz for the World Cup? There were many that thought hosting in 2026 was going to create incredible momentum for soccer in the United States moving forward. It’s like only a few weeks away and I feel like absolutely nobody cares. #fifa #worldcup

@VinnysCorner1 @JeffMumau Gout Gout is amazing!
Gout is not amazing.
Please tell me Gout Gout has a great pronunciation, and not just “Gout… Gout…”

Do you agree with this list or na??
English
@VinnysCorner1 Only one of these is an Athlete… The rest are sportsmen. They are not one and the same.
Athletics is a sport. Athletes compete in it.
Other sports are also sports, but the sportsmen and sportswomen in those disciplines are not athletes.
Please stop getting them confused

@SkyNews @RobHarris Just paid $530 each for match 80 (winner group L) in better location than $1,350 ‘Front Row’ category FIFA created to con people into buying the ‘last remaining seats’.
In my industry, penalties for market manipulation like this is up to 20 years in prison and $25m+ in fines
English
FIFA has released last-minute tickets to the World Cup in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, but dynamic pricing means only some fans will be able to afford the trip.
Sky's @RobHarris breaks down the price of a last-minute trip to the World Cup.

I absolutely fucking love council estates when the sun’s out the whole place turns into Benidorm. Kids screaming up and down the road on scooters with one wheel missing, someone’s Bluetooth speaker blasting tunes that sound like they’ve been recorded through a toaster, and at least three separate arguments kicking off over absolutely nothing. Then you’ve got lads outside their gardens like they’re security guards for a club that doesn’t exist, just nodding at everyone like they’re important. The smell of weed in the air, baby mums running for the ice cream van with their tits swinging all over in their vest tops, smack heads peddling about topless on their kids ben 10 bikes, corner shop rammed full of people getting the beers in, and the ladies walking around with their fannies eating their shorts and little crop tops on like they're in fucking Cyprus. Then you’ve got that one bloke who’s been mowing the same patch of grass for two hours straight, shirt off, red as a lobster, acting like he’s maintaining Wembley Stadium

@AdamCrafton_ Here they are charging a $300 fee on resale of a ticket with a face value of $60… Aside from the fact that it should be illegal to sell something with a $60 value for $2000, FIFA are happy to let it happen because they are printing 💰
English
Remarkable tonight, as FIFA go on record to accuse New Jersey of a “chilling effect” on the World Cup with high transit prices. That is the FIFA of unprecedentedly high match tickets, $300 car park spaces, 30% cut on every exorbitantly sold ticket on their own resale platform.

@GoodwoodRRC @UnracedF1 We've both aged the same amount, only one hasn't changed! 😬

@KJ_Popp @edgaralandough Seriously. Just Google it. I’m from England, where it is £20 and my eye exams when I lived in Singapore were S$25

People really think a Costco membership is just for buying 48 rolls of toilet paper at once 😭
It goes SO much deeper than that. Here’s everything your $65/year actually gets you 🧵

@AdamCrafton_ @TheAthleticFC By her calculations, they are losing about $95m per NFL season transporting Jets and Giants fans to the game

Extraordinary defence here by New Jersey Governor of the $100+ train prices to MetLife stadium first reported by @TheAthleticFC yesterday - she’s pinning it on FIFA and not budging. This is the Governor of the host state of the World Cup final going to war with FIFA.
Governor Mikie Sherrill@GovSherrillNJ
We inherited an agreement where FIFA is providing $0 for transportation to the World Cup. And while NJ TRANSIT is stuck with a $48 million bill to safely get fans to and from games, FIFA is making $11 billion. I’m not going to stick New Jersey commuters with that tab for years to come. FIFA should pay for the rides. But if they don’t – I’m not going to let New Jersey get taken for one.

@talks_michael I chose to overpay for a hotel within walking distance of Mercedes Benz stadium instead of risking being overcharged getting to the match that I overpaid for.
England had better win the group!
English
Round of applause for Kansas City, the only host city not trying to screw over fans 👏
Now if I can somehow find a cheap ticket for one of the games I'll be there.
Other cities take note of what Kansas City is doing!!

KC2026 has announced prices for World Cup bus service. Unlimited regional trips from downtown KC to 14 different locations will cost $5 per day, $25 per week or $50 for the entire tournament. Roundtrip match day service to the stadium is $15. Rides downtown to KCI are free.
English
@edgaralandough Eye tests cost ~$30 in the rest of the world…
English
Eye exams between $70- $100 without insurance. Huge for people.
Frames and lenses come in way below what you’d pay other places! Members even get free frame adjustments on glasses bought somewhere else.
English
How does it cost $48 million for 8 games? The train line to Meadowlands already exists.
Does it cost that much for Jets/Giants games?

English
@GovSherrillNJ If you had only known in advance that the World Cup was coming…
Matchday transportation has always been free to ticket holders (for the World Cups that I’ve been to, anyway)
English
To Recap:
Our Administration inherited an agreement where FIFA contributes $0 toward transportation for the World Cup – while also eliminating parking at MetLife Stadium.
Except for premium parking, where FIFA is charging over $200 per spot.
As a result, NJ TRANSIT must carry four times the usual ridership for events at the venue, at a cost of $48 million.
New Jerseyans shouldn’t be stuck with that bill while FIFA makes $11 billion in profits.

@f3rnandolpz @allrockmusic I’d say the Metallica run is six, starting with Kill ‘Em All.
In the context of what came before, Load was a disappointment but it is an underrated album when judged on its merits
