Let's hope the tournament is a lot better than this travesty of a draw.

It took 2h 15 minutes. Shoddy production at times. And trump gets a peace award especially made for him by FIFA who don't like to mix politics and sport.

Re: World Cup 2026
 

Oh well, nevermind. Aren't the US banning everyone from those countries from entering the US anyway?

Re: World Cup 2026
 

Regardless of who it is, why schedule a match to clash with a festival, seems like poor planning.

Re: World Cup 2026
 

Well, other things will be happening in the city when football games are on. London wouldn't postpone Pride if a World Cup game were happening at Wembley, I don't think.

Re: World Cup 2026
 

They missed a cracking headline there

"Trump introduces tariffs for football supporters" :D

Re: World Cup 2026
 

I was intending to go. I've been collecting England 'caps', i.e attending England games, for the last couple of years and joined the England Supporters Travel Club with a view to this World Cup, but the prices are insane. Far more than anyone was expecting.

But never mind. Hopefully, the Euros won't be as expensive, and so far, UEFA have priced both the Euros and the Champions League final far more reasonably. Around £100 for one of the cheaper tickets at both finals and around £1000 for the most expensive.

I should have enough England caps by then to attend every England game up to and including the final should we make it. :D

Makes the BBC licence fee option look excellent value.

Re: World Cup 2026
 

The prices for the final are just nuts, I hope the stadium is empty.

The group matches dont seem as bad, around £165 for at least two of them.

After that it starts to get silly again, over £500 for the quarter finals, £700+ for the semis.
