Yeah, like the 2026 world cup.
Oh no! But hosting fifa will make America great! What now?
I'm not far from Miami and thought I'd catch a game. Cheapest I've found is 140. I haven't been able to find a single seat that isn't on the resell market. I noticed Philadelphia didn't even bother selling seats in the upper sections. Meanwhile Miami looks half full in the lower sections and about 75% in the uppers.
I'm at the point of wanting a break from football, but even if I wasn't, it would need to take place in Europe where football's biggest audience is.
South American could be a contender.

Maybe we don’t need fancy stadiums and lucrative tv deals. We just need people playing footie and people watching them for fun.
