Will this be the worst edition of the WC ever? This shit is going to suck major dick
But can you walk from the train station to the stadium or do you still need to take an über?
>>154227896>Won't someone take a moment to think about those poor Wall Street financiers being forced to pay a $100 train ticket to get to their $5000 soccer game?shut up retard
>>154227935>Wall Street investment bankers>Interested in soccerLol
based, eat shit foreigners
>>154227935>millionaires taking some dirt filled train everlolz
It wouldn't be America if they weren't trying to capitalize off of an event as much as they could instead of making it as fun and accessible as possible in order to attract more people to come spend money
>>154228542In America, entertainment is just a means to get people’s money. Some people like to entertain, as happens in any country, but in America they are employees of the real GOATs of society, the wealth-creators.
>>154228608as opposed to Europe, where everything is non-profit
>>154227942>>154227948yes it's the everyman who spends thousands to see world cup matcheslololololol
>>154227932The train station is right in front of the stadium, not even a street to cross. In general, New York is the American city where mass transit is most useful.
>>154227947cant imagine genuinely being this much of an kissass, even out of spite
>>154229822>>154229822Brazil had tickets for the 2014 final for as little as 30 euros for locals. For foreigners, the average ticket price was around 100 euros. Germany 2006 also had tickets under 100 euros available for all stages bar the final.2026 is several times more expensive than the disaster that was the Qatar World Cup. You're defending the indefensible, but perhaps it's the rest of us who are wasting our times trying to explain to Americans and an Australian that being a good golem who gladly licks the arses of their executive overlords that being priced out from a sports event is a bad thing.
it will suck because of the 9842395384 teams invited, not because of the fleecing. we will all be enjoying the tournament once the knockout stages begin and every doomer and detractor will slap their flaccid penises against the wall in hopes of eliciting a reaction
>>154230194how much did the semi final vs germany cost?
this wc will be fine, just like every wc is fine. the group stages are certifiably retarded, but the knockouts will be as good as ever. whatever. who cares.
>>154229822it is though, people save up for years to attend world cups. south americans sell their house
>nu/sp/ hating on the most based WC of current centurykwab you love to see it
Dude...Just come here and watch baseball. You'll have a better time and spend less money.
I will say this whole episode has only further revealed to me actually how golemised Yanks are.They revel in the exclusivity of paying more money to do things like "sit courtside" more than enjoy the actual event itself. A truly sick people.
>>154227896the wc isn't happening (but if it did, it would probably be the worst ever, yes)
>>154230749It's not that they revel in exclusivity. Americans take great pride in being fucked over. They'll pay hundreds, even thousands of dollars for sports tickets that should by all means cost £40 and will look down on everyone who says that maybe $500 is a bit too much for a basketball game. I'm sure this is a very hard concept for a Brit to grasp. After all, you live in a country where fans protest a 4 pound increase in season ticket prices (to no avail). But the American gets happier when his life gets more expensive and he'll call you a jealous poor if you say he's unhinged. It's not just about sports tickets.
>>154230929My EFL Championship adult season ticket is about £320 and won't increase if we get promoted to the Premier League, it's not so bad.
>>154230932>we enjoy getting price gouged out of the world cupI can assure you, the five soccer fans we have in my country are just as upset as any of you favela monkeys about being asked to pay a rent payment for a nosebleed seat to watch Doctor Congo play Durkadurkastan. The rest of us have something you don't - options. We can literally watch other sports. Maybe you should stop making a monolith out of grown men kicking balls around and pretending a back pat can break legs.
>>154227896Jew jersey transit
>>154230978200 minimum for an nfl ticket140 for an nba ticket
>>154230978Yeah you can watch basketball playoffs for a few hundred bucks. What a bargain!
>>154230998Neither of those leagues will be playing when its the World Cup. Its baseball season now.
>>154231076no one care about about baseball the only "popular" canadian sport is basket
>>154231082Nobody cares about what you dont care about. You're the one crying about needing to sell your firstborn for a ticket to a divegrass game, how you can't tailgate, and actually having to go to Jew Jersey for any reason whatsoever.
>>154231003>Average>playoffsPoor attempt
>>154230177NYC s the biggest city hence the biggest and most used mass transit system But that doesn't =/= bestLooking at all the factors (including how nice the actual ride is, the scenery, the whole experience) my city destroys NYC when it comes to mass transit experience in pretty much every way except overall size of the system As for downtown to NFL stadium, a lot of cities have their NFL stadium downtown so it's just a few blocks walkBut for cities like NYC where you need mass transit to get to the NFL stadium, NYC might be worst of all of them for that route
>>154231150Isn't NYC the only US city that doesn't have the "residential area is here, and downtown is all the way over there" structure?Like, NYC people like to leave their apartment door and they have a bar right next to it (like literally every european city)
>>154230749>tf>tp
>>154227896Amerigolems need to be nuked
>S*ccer fanatics from abroad will pay through the nose for their godforsaken game>This is America's fault
>>154231256NYC is the closest to a european city that we have yeah. there are a few others that are livable without a car (chicago, dc, boston, maybe one or two others idk) but NYC is way ahead in terms of public transit usage and percent of people who don't use a car
>>154228542This country is boring as fuck from this mentality too. Most are fat because they have nothing else to do but hole up in their house and eat
>>154231483That shit's wild to me
>>154231003>Secondary marketlmao, you're literally looking at scalper prices. Timberwolves tickets are about $60 a pop.
>>154231773It's also not true. I live in the middle of flyover country and the nearest bar is a 4 minute walk from me.
>>154231781yeah? and how far is the grocery store?
>>154227896if ot was any 3rd worls host doing it people would lose their id and say the most racist things
yuropoor/brownoids are already seething so it will inevitably be kino
Bookings are down or well below expectations for both flights and hotels. Prices being slashed because of low demand. Looks like the US will have to dress up some jeets to make it look like fans are going to games. About 80% of games will include at least one shitter. Can't blame people for not spending thousands on that. During CWC tickets were sold for as low as $4-$5. Might not be much more for Qatar-Bosnia.
>>154231840CWC tickets were handed out to locals hours before matches too.
>>154231781Where I live the bar is a 5 second walk because it's attached to my house. Next to it there's a panetteria, a pizzeria, and on the other side of the street there's the grocery store and a tabaccheria (for cigarettes).It's like this everywhere. I can't imagine living in a suburb
>>154227896Stop being negative brosIt's gonna be fun
>100 for a train with Mikie SherrillI'll take it!
Why do any of you autists give a shit about world cup pricing it’s not like you’re going to attend a match or even leave your parents house lol. You’re all gonna watch an illegal stream of every match and shitpost about it
>>154227896good, it should filter the poors and other indesirables. attending a world cup is a privilege, not a right.
>>154227942In America, soccer is a very middle class sport, there will be a lot of Wall Street, white collar types at those matches. Sure in Spain football is the sport of the working people, the community, the political parties in some cases. But in America, soccer is for wealthy people in good neighborhoods in large cities.
>>154228542So like every other world cup
Americans literally have machines that print money, so they'll be fine. Also, who even takes the bus? Why don't you have a car? What is wrong with you?
>>154229009The UK is famous for it's communism. You go there and everything is free because they all care about each other. The only thing you have to pay to do is see Karl Marx's grave.
>>154231793Like a 10 minute walk, 20 if I really take my time. Usually drive though because I don't want to go more than once per week if I can avoid it.
>>154230194Worldcups tend to be a waste of moneyAmericans love money above anything elseEasy
>>154230194-Worldcups tend to be a waste of money-Americans love money above anything elseEasy
Only matches that matter are the USA and knock out rounds. >local bar for USA games>friends hosting at their home for knockouts
>>154232089Parking in the city isnt worth it
>>154232240You should build stadiums outside city centres so there are space for parking lots around them.
>>154232240It's stupid to drive into Manhattan
>>154231150>my cityPussy
>>154231483>get shot on the subway on the way to your wagecageSo its just like europe but guns not knives?>>154232078The wc here in 2006 was probably the most soulful ever.
>>154232076ThisIn america, the rich kids/middle/upper middle class kids are the one's playing soccer/football.
>>154227896Probably, yes. Not on the field, but everything surrounding it will be dogshit.In terms of the quality of play, it will probably be better than Qatar, than 1990 and anything before 1950.In terms of the political situation, it's also not the first time it was used by an authoritarian regime: Argentina 74 and Italy 34 were equally tense, though it's probably the first time where the regime isn't trying to use it to project a positive image and act as if the whole world was welcome. This regime is the dumbest brand of fascism ever, and has openly antagonized fans and players from certain countries.It's also the first time it takes place in a "late stage capitalist" environment, where costs to even attend a game make it impossible for most people to afford. And still quite an unreasonable investment for those who can afford to attend.Though, admittedly, the last two cups were already going in that direction.
>>154227942Most white people who like soccer do so because while they were at university some foreigner got them interested. Those guys graduated with a degree and now work some upper class job. Soccer is very inverted in the US were upper class whites support it more than poor whites. College is the gateway to soccer fandom basically in the US (if you are white). International motorsports also is like this too somewhat.
>>154236125>sport with a expensive helmet, expensive body armor, shoes, tight girly body suit, lingerie, dick protector and gloves is the national sport for all classes>sport where you just need a ball to kick is for middle and upper class You mutts are genuinely retarded i tell you that. Besides fifa filling our leagues with non europeans it is because every poor fuck can pick up a ball and get really good at it, but mutts make it a middle/upper class sport.
>turd-worlders and Yuros seething for 2 months while 80% of Americans don't even realize there are some soccer games being played here >yuropoors are too poor to make the trip over>the yuropoors that do make it over will die from heat exhaustion due to temperatures rising above 70 degrees Fahrenheit Yeah, I'm thinking it will be based
Anyone who watched the Club World Cup will know it is going to be an abomination. Disinterested crowds hitting the Mexican wave every 5 minutes.
>>154236642>>154236125>>154232076>mutts make it a middle/upper class sportI don't know, that's kind of cope. It's true that soccer's a "middle class sport" here, as in poor kids don't play it for the most part. But that's because most American kids just don't care about soccer. That's the truth. Most middle class and upper class kids don't play soccer, either, at least not past the age where it becomes embarrassing to still be playing soccer. You can literally get bullied in school for playing soccer. That's slowly changing, but it's still not viewed as a men's sport. It's viewed as a very feminine/gay sport here, at least in most parts of the country. I lived in Europe for a couple of years as a teenager. Every boy either plays soccer, watches soccer, or at least knows something about soccer. In the United States kids grow up playing 3 different sports and are forced to narrow it down as they get older. They always drop soccer immediately. I could go on and on but it just boils down to 1) soccer is a girl's sport and 2) it's still quite unpopular amongst most Americans (excluding 1st and 2nd gen "Americans", obviously)
>>154236125>>154236642Soccer is for Mexicans, lesbians, and kids who aren't good at any other sport
>>154236629>College is the gateway to soccer fandom basically in the US (if you are white).Greetings from Kentucky oblast
>>154237251>and kids who aren't good at any other sportWhite americans should consider Soccer then, cause they get their shit pushed in by blacks in Basketball/Handegg
>>154237300The most important position in football is white dominant. The NBA has been printing white monsters for years now. Brazil has no shortage of brown people, why aren't they good at soccer?
>>154237793>The most important position in football is white dominantThe cuck watching on the telly?>The NBA has been printing white monsters for years nowMostly foreigners, but yeah I gotta give to Kon and Cooper. Still a black owned league>Brazil has no shortage of brown people, why aren't they good at soccer?Because european countries are outblacking us
>>154237793>>154237931What happened here
>>154231871sounds like hell pal
>>154227896genuinely i am laughing imaging some euro or south american all excited to go to DA BIG APPLE to watch the world cup final IN NEW YORK CITY!! and then they have to go to a swamp an hour away in east rutherford NEW JERSEY. so fucking funny.such a dystopian shit hole area too. theres literally nothing around the stadium>no it really is surrounded by swamps and storage units and mechanics shops
>>154227932>can you walkbesides being illegal, walking is considered extremely offensive in US culture
>>154238177how so?the suburbs sounds like hell. Cant go to a bar without driving for 20 minutes? I'd kms
I wonder at what point will even the goodest of goyim start to ponder whether being fleeced by Jews to watch two teams of Africans kick a ball around wearing the jerseys of nations that they have nothing to do with is worth wasting time and effort on?
>>154240268he’s only memeing
>>154240268You are forced to live in a WEF 15 minute cities where the police will shoot you on sight if you move outside of your allowed perimeter unless you're using public transportation and your appartment will be given for free to an immigrant.Or something.
>>154241004>World Economic Forum cityItalian cities have been like this for millennia tho
>>154237238>a sport where guys are hugging each other and laying on each other in tight spandex pants is considered masculine>a sport of which a big part of the history of it is literal mass street fights and playing in a cage against each other just having to need a ball is feminine.Again, you mutts are truly something special. I can tell you that the testosterone in a football stadium during a derby is higher than that of all stadiums combined on a gameday in the eggFL. Also, the part about only playing one sport and that that is soccer is bullshit. Most i know grew up starting doing more than just football and then stay at one because its too time consuming when you become a teenager. And that is besides Winter sports depending on where you grow up.
>>154241056I know, that's the joke. It's the latest /pol/ contrarian nonsense (brought to you by General Motors) : more convenient cities = bad because you're no longer free to only drive all the time.It's dumb and only the most terminally /pol/brained are falling for it.
>>154230192We already imported people from everywhere. They should have to collect their fanbase from people already here.
>>154241238oh yeah, /pol/ post-2016 is just grifters grifting grifters and leftists/trolls trying to trigger those grifted grifters
>>154241238The cars are to get out of the city. Which you cannot do.
>>154241289Not sure if /pol/-browsing 52%er telling me about my life OR /out/ poster on his usual purity spiral complaining that there is no wilderness in Alaska anymore because there are roads near Anchorage.
>>154227896there was some politician shouting, FIFA should be paying for local resident fares during the WC as it was 'unfair they are earning $11B and locals also have to pay 10x the normal fare during the tournament'.It doesn't appear to have occurred to anyone to question, why in fuck transitcos are jacking the prices 10x during WC in the first place.

>>154230722Ok Milei, can you get Trumps cock out of your mouth for just one second?Either way, maybe international fan numbers wont be as high as in other world cups, but Im sure locals will make up for it. Americans are already the biggest customers for events like the WC and Olympics, Im sure they will show up for this one too, specially given that football is more popular than ever over there.
>>154241893>no tailgating allowed, replaced by paid-access fanzonesI think even the burgers won't fall for that.
>>154241893>Im sure locals will make up for itFootball has never been big in the US. You really think they're willing to pay two months' salaries to take their family to a single game?
>>154241581I lived 30 years in very rural. 5 years in Chicago. Six years in a medium town of 100,000+.In chicago only about half of the people had a car. Maybe less.The college kids it was like 1/5. I was the only dude with a car in my entire crew of about twenty guys and the others with cars rarely if ever use them.Everyone walks and uses public EL train. I myself, with a car, did the public 95% of the time.So...I am informing you of circumstances.Then to LEAVE CHICAGO, everyone would get in a car. Basically ensuring you aren't actually stuck there.
