Re: World Cup 2026

I would not waste my time and money going to the World Cup anyway.

Regarless of the fact you risk not being let in, or detained, for posting the wrong cat video, the prices for matches are ridiculous.

With that cough and an apparent history of Ear Nose Throat issues, I think he meant to say 'catarrh'

Re: World Cup 2026

My point was Qatar deemed an awful place to host a world cup looks paradise now the land of the free is exploiting the tournament.

No, it doesn’t - it was an awful place to hold the tournament, and still is…

Re: World Cup 2026

The tournament itself was one of the greatest ever. The final arguably the greatest.

I wasn't there I don't know how much the fans paid but I doubt Qatar fleeced them.

England fans are facing having to pay train fares of more than £100 to watch one of their World Cup group matches in the USA.

Anyone going to a game at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey from New York City's Penn Station will have to pay $150 (£111) for the 15-minute, nine-mile (14km) journey, US transport officials said.

That's nearly 12 times the usual $12.90 (£9.50) fare for the return trip from Manhattan to the venue in East Rutherford, which is home to both the NFL's New York Giants and New York Jets.
Getting fleeced.

Re: World Cup 2026

There's a choice in there, it's only 9 miles.

A) Pay the stupid price
B) Walk or get a bus/taxi

You’re a braver man than me if you walk through New Jersey (and the Lincoln Tunnel )
