OT: The 2026 World Cup Thread

[Tunescribe]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. No real connection to Norway. As a season ticket holder of the New England Revolution they gave us an opportunity to buy some tickets and the Norway-Iraq game happened to be the cheapest....though I was intrigued by this matchup given some big names on Norway. As a general soccer fan I felt I had to try to at least get to one World Cup game (and it was quite the experience). I enjoy the Revs but the atmosphere was on a complete other level. Ultimately I got a nosebleed ticket for $260 and never actually went to my seat.

I'm a Patriots season ticket holder as well (33 years) and wasn't aware of that offer. Not sure whether I would've pulled the trigger but you made the right choice for a unique experience. Was getting there and parking any different than usual?

The USNMT spent too much time reading their press clippings assuring them the round of 8 and forgot they actually had to play the game.

If we invade Belgium, that would make us the winner. Lol

Hilarious, but be prepared to be deleted. I can laugh & it doesn’t change my opinions but it likely is over the politics line.

Agree, they were not ready for the moment, at all.

Everything he touches turns to ****.

You know it, I know it, but the cultists don't.

Right. Trump isn't America. We the people are. And the WC players and fans are seeing the truth. Not the mediot version.

Unfortunately most non Americans associate Trump as America. As someone who has spent a lot of time in the States, I know first hand that the people are great and so much more than your President, something the WC fans who attended saw first hand.
