Screen shot showing FIFA World Cup 2026 Packages ranging in price from $4,750 to $21,950.
After reading The Athletic article about World Cup tickets...I am on the Costco web site and see this...
The Columbus Crew are touting "a major announcement on the future of soccer in Columbus" for today at 3:30 p.m.
Jessica Berman, Whitney Haslam Johnson of the Crew's ownership, and Columbus' mayor and city council president will be among the dignitaries.
And the urgency of FIFA's sales language - "first-come, first-served," "previous periods of high traffic," "expect digital queues" - contrasts with TA's:
"it seems that tickets to that [USMNT-Paraguay] match — billed as the glitzy curtain-raiser... are selling at a pace of a few dozen per day"
The Iranian diaspora in California numbers somewhere in the vicinity of half a million people, and when given an even remotely affordable price of entry, that population is buying tickets.
There's undoubtedly many more US and US-curious fans in SoCal, but exploitative prices exclude/repel them.
'The document, dated April 10... listed 40,934 tickets purchased for that June 12 match between the U.S. and Paraguay, compared with 50,661 for the Iran-New Zealand match three days later at the same venue, SoFi Stadium.'
USMNT-Paraguay outpaced by Iran-New Zealand! So much to unpack here

This screenshot is floating around Austin FC fan circles this morning. Placing this in my "interesting development" file.

Nothing proves how capitalism has brain rotted everyone than thinking the post office, hospitals, public transit, libraries, etc. need to turn a profit to be worthwhile.

In researching this I came across this post that has some of the most hilariously unhinged comments I’ve read on Reddit. www.reddit.com/r/coys/s/puY...

"Yeah, sure, ok."
Fuck, I'm roasted
LAFC boss Marc Dos Santos, on starting the same XI tonight as vs Cruz Azul on Tues:
"The numbers physically in their body were good, but maybe mentally there was more fatigue than we expected ... It wasn't good enough today, it wasn't LAFC, it wasn't us ... we all have shit days, today was shit"
The rest of us, complete idiots: Wonder if the Quakes got problems now that LAFC scored
Bruce Arena: Chill out, I'm bringing on Ian Harkes and Jack Skahan to ice this one
San Jose, officially the best team in the league, started 8 domestic products tonight.
Orlando and Houston, two of the worst, combined to start zero last night.
Saludos to the Apple TV camera team for this tribute to the iconic Sting WWE meme, featuring LAFC president John Thorrington
LAFC 0-3 SJ
"F*ck all y'all"
- Bruce Arena, probably
Don't care that Timo Werner - who seemed just as stunned by the delivery as LAFC's entire defense were - couldn't finish it. Ronaldo Vieira hit the MLS pass of the week here
Bruce Arena's Quakes aren't perfect - he's right in his repeated message that they've got a long way to go - but damn, do they press & defend like dogs.🐕
The buy-in from his overwhelmingly domestic-based, unsexy-in-modern-MLS squad is so palpable as they go toe-to-toe with star-spangled LAFC.
Has the sale and/or 'promotion' gone official yet? Seeing reports of MFC's men taking Atlante's spot in the second division and I'm curious as to how the decision makers/authorities package this when it's being rolled out
This is fine
