It’s the world cup? I mean how many teams can there be? 12? 20? They all get to play, right?

I just checked and the grounds range from 45,000 to 94,000. I think a couple of the smaller ones were in Canada, and lots of the grounds are at the upper end of the range. It’s an unusual World Cup because it is hosted by Canada, Mexico and America.

Yeah, all the stadiums in the US are NFL stadiums so have capacity in the high 60k at the low end, with the one in NJ that is hosting the final (a truly awful choice, and uniquely american perspective of what the experience of going to a game should be) of 80k+

Grand Park in Westfield, IN, has been selected as one of the team base sites. My lad played there for a few years and it’s just up the road from where I live. I’m a bit torn over the whole thing. Part of me wants England to get Grand Park as their base, so I can go over there and tell Harry Kane that he’s crap :joy:

But another part of me has trepidation about the whole thing. It’s a festival of football, fans from all over the world coming together to celebrate, and with it, usually some drinks, mostly good behavior, and maybe a little fuss around the edges. It’s that aspect that I don’t think the current climate in America is poised to deal with well.

I honestly wonder when they’ll get out the caps and the boots. Given how they like to provoke the media, it’s actually astonishing that they haven’t done it yet. :wink:

Hello, come and enjoy the world cup, and then worry about getting locked up in an El Salvadorian prison because you have Real Madrid tatoos or whatever. Just about every damn player is scrawled with tatts let alone the fans.

We’ve heard from them that they are looking for additional partners to strike El Salvador style deals with, but sending them into an active war zone is beyond what even I thought they were capable of pursuing.
