Where is your teams base camp in North America for the WC? Germany is located near me in Winston-Salem, residing in this palatial estate
Austria is in Santa Barbara. undoubtedly the nicest camp/vicinity in the tournament. not getting rekd by humidity, and beachside kino surrounded by white people in wine country. not an osterreicher, just a kaiserboo
Colombia and South Korea are in Guadalajara... Poor bastards. Spain's base camp is the strangest. Chattanooga on some small private High School campus.
HaitiAll girls college dormitory in Los Angeles
>>155025005chat is pretty kino. one of the few cities i actually like in the south.
>>155025005Chattanooga is based tho
>>155024759i saw pissi cuckitini drinking lemonade on a porch
>>155025005God why is Mexico even allowed to host this kek
>>155025082why is more than one country even allowed to host this.
>>155025040>>155025047It's very cool they're staying there, it's just so random. It shows they really mean business imo. Their training fields are a short drive from their hotel. Nobody is going to bother them, they're clearly very focused Just such a random spot for the Spain national team to be>>155025082I feel bad for the teams staying in Mexico. South Korea's training fields look like shit and Colombia have to travel like an hour by bus to their training facility
how fucked am I?
>>155025331Everyone in Kansas City is doing some retarded travel min-maxing
Do you think they'll hang out together?
>>155024759Did teams pick these cities or was it fifa/us gov? Some of these places are so strange like egypt out in spokane
>England have to train on travel soccer fields Something kind of endearing about seeing all these world class teams full of superstars have to come to the US and stay at Marriott hotels, get the continental breakfast, probably order like Chipotle and Panera Bread with extra Gatorades or whatever, then take the team bus down the highway to practice at travel soccer fields and high school fields. It's the true American soccer experience
>>155025331Anyone in Florida is basically training with weighted clothes between the heat and alligators
>>155024759I have to say the Germans are the GOATs at selecting home bases. I remember they did the same thing in Brazil 2014, found some fucking beautiful compound away from everybody else and just crushed it
>>155025420>team england practicing on the same fields I played on in U12
There is a high chance at least one of Korea's players is going to get beheaded
>>155025331>more people want to be in Mexico than CanadaWhy is that? Is the Indian invasion that bad?
The Congo is here in Houston, but not in the loop so they may as well be staying in Tokyo.
>>155025431Hopefully that humidity + heat + hotel literally being on the beach in Miami (lots of drinking and prostitutes available) will be a bad combination for the Portuguese national team. Looks like they have a 30+ minute bus ride to the middle school soccer fields they're training on
>>155025459I think Canada is just too spread out, wouldn't make sense to have a base camp there. Also I doubt Toronto has good soccer fields/complexes within reasonable distance from hotels, and the hotels are probably expensive as fuck
>>155025331This really puts into perspective how the US has a built infrastructure to handle these kinds of world events
>>155024759Damn that's a nice lawn. Fuck.
>>155025331>Croatia in Alexandriaretards
>>155024759beautiful kansas
Based in Seattle, using the Sounders' training centre.Looks like we'll have a fan fest of our own in Seattle, probably in Vancouver and LA too. Free entry, free merch, food, drinks, music, activities, the Belgian beers are kinda odd. Have that stuff at home. When abroad would usually try out the local beers. Guess they expect very few Belgian fans and it's to get the local lads on our side.https://www.rbfa.be/en/national-teams/2026-world-cup/seattleAt least in Seattle all 5 of >us Belgian fans will get to march to the stadium.
Our ngubus are staying at the 4 seasons in the middle of Boston (>1000€ a night) and training at the New England revolution (an MLS team) training centre, not bad though it's maye 30-40 minutes away from the hotel by bus>>155025932How much did you spend on your trip and are you a billionaire?
>>155026384Quite tasteful if I may say so
>>155026384>>155026402It's nice, and the ride from hotel to training fields will be 30 min to an hour depending on traffic. But staying in the middle of a big city signals something unserious to me. Like Portugal in Miami. I know these players are professionals, but why tempt them by staying downtown Boston or on the beach in Miami? Seems retarded. The teams that are staying outside of cities at 4/5-star hotels and less than 20 min from their practice fields are the ones that signal seriousness to me.
https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=1kY6g975lv4AtaeIBZPKtwDZ3tE7zKzw&ll=40.52328305809365%2C-74.79998259760971&z=9This is what I've been using btw. You can track every team's exact hotel location on Google Maps, along with every team's practice fields location. Pretty cool.
>>155026531of course stu, that is cool.
>>155026500>10' to go from hotel to training grounds>30' to go from hotel to Lumen Field or less if it's from the training groundSeems alright to me.In Qatar Belgium's basecamp was in a luxury resort 100km outside of Doha. Great for privacy, with training grounds in the resort, but bad for morale. Felt isolated, detached from the tournament with nothing around to do to release the stress of games. Boredom set in, locked up in a compound with a rather sterile or artificially manufactured ambiance. Basecamp in Russia 2018 was much better, just outside Moscow with plenty to do to clear your mind. Not all players are autistic robots.
Norway's team are staying in Greensboro. I think it was chosen because it's quiet an out of the way.
>>155026904its where Mr Beast lives
Iraq in West Virginia is an odd one.
Also Egypt in Spokane. Why did so many Middle Eastern Countries decide to have their training camps in and near our cousin marriage areas?
>>155027583you answere your own question lul
>>155025371I could absolutely believe it's some kind of level-5000 timezone hacking: if you're probably going to have to fly across an entire continent, you'd at least be doing it from the middle.>>155025420Blessed
>>155025924Kansas City is in Missouri
>>155028078And to minimise travel time. Boston - LA is a 6 hours flight
>>155025331why so few teams in Canada?
>>155025331You gotta hand it to Jordan for basing themselves in Portland.
>>155027569>All the foreigners wondering if someone is gonna get killed by a brown or black here>It's actually gonna be some hillbilly going after a heathen
>>155025768Why?
has anyone been shot yet?
>>155025416FIFA has like a list of spots (facilities apply to be on it and are approved/rated) and help sort out who goes where, but teams can also reach out directly to hosts if they want.
I live in Philly and apparently Ivory Coast are staying right next door in Chester
>>155025331Feels good to have Germ and Norway training in my state. Might see if I can heckle Haaland or some nigger on the German team.
>>155030409hide your women
>>155025420>National teams playing at high school football fields with the soccer lines painted faintly within them.kino
>>155025331>Uruguay in Cancunexpect a VERY poor performance from them
>>155026384The Four Seasons outside of the Boston Common? That’s a really nice location.
>>155025331Yo we are in Trump estate?Yeah im thinking Trump is rigging this one for us.
>>155025932Can any of our burger friends tell me how the weather is around seattle this time of yearI think of the pacific north west and my mind just goes to fucking twilight. Watched it with my gf and the only thing I remember is the scenery being really nice.
>>155025331You can tell based on the map who’s strictly business and who’s not taking this seriously at all. Expect the teams in Spokane and Kansas City to make it far and expect the teams in Boca Raton, Palm Beach and Cancún to crumble.
They have a fucking website for the place?First thing that popped up when i searched for the place.Cool.
>>155030416>"Why are you heckling kumpel"
>>155031089Is the one on the right wearing a fake Nautilus?
>>155026904Not my experience in Greensboro but alright
>>155026880I lived in Belgium for a while, so you're not going to convince me you aren't all autistic. Probably just too much sun and heat in Qatar for the Belgians. Seattle will feel like home for a lot them, so they may do better. It's usually cloudy, not much sun, rains a lot and it's green. It's typically not too hot but it will get hot and humid since it's mid-June. But I do think small towns in the pacific northwest would've been cozier and more serious for the team. You can't avoid media/fans here in big cities. Luckily soccer players aren't a big deal, but still, there will be many more distractions in Seattle than like Tacoma or Spokane.
>>155026904My friend who lives in North Carolina told me Greensboro is nogsville USA. Very black and crime ridden city aka "do not go there"Not sure if that's true perhaps an Amerianon from the area can confirm or not.
>>155031089Oh man I forgot about Wirtz I would definitely bully that guy haha
>>155032645Damn I had no idea Greensboro's demographics were like 50% nogs. To be fair Norway is not staying in the actual city itself and neither is Germany. They must've done their research
>>155032645He’s not totally wrong, it’s pretty black, but Greenville NC is much worse. You sure he said Boro and not Ville? Always confusing that they have boro/ville versions of both Green and Ashe
>>155025331>new yorkkek fucking deplorable
Yikes
>>155032882that's not bad, it will only get worse
>>155032882>VaderWhat is your language anyway?
>>155025037lol they’re actually in New Jersey
>>155032904Haiti are in Atlantic City kek. Training at Stockton University soccer fields. Totally uninspiring, dour, depressing. I expect them to get BTFO by 3 goals minimum in every game.
What happens in Frisco
>>155033034jeet1Bstrumpersthat’s the list
>>155033034Dallas is general is amenable but very boring. Not the best place in the country to stay but certainly not the worst. There would be nothing to do but train and hang out with teammates.

Dallas, we beat England team lmao
>>155025331Did they get to choose these themselves?If so, the teams based out of Kansas City and Tennessee are smart. I bet that Spain probably wins the WC.
>>155024980>Santa Barbara>surrounded by white peopleHeh. Santa Barbara is very brown. I'm not saying that is a bad thing. Just stating a fact.State street is beautiful. It goes all the way to the ocean. But if you travel one or two blocks parallel to it you are in gang territory. I used to live there (Goleta). The area is very beautiful, very expensive. Lots of hot women (SBCC and UCSB). And the weather is great year round.I am jealous of the Austrian team.
>>155025047Too many violent blacks. Nice landforms and suburbs though.
>>155033034
>>155036244The bad parts of Chattanooga are as bad if not worse than Atlanta
Frisco looks like the american dream unironically
>>155035782>t. elliott
>>155035685they do get to choose their base camp most will pick a location close to the stadium where they play most their group stage games
How many % of these players do you think will leave their teams during the night and defect and become an illegal immigrant?
>>155042280No one is illegal on stolen land
>>155042858based. that's the motto my cousins in the us live by
>>155042280Curacao maybe, I've only ever seen Caribbean teams do that
>>155025331Why did Turkey choose Arizona?
>>155043615Aren't Curacaoans dutch citizens by default?
>>155025037Mutts law
>>155043615Most of the players on the Caribbean teams probably have European, Canadian or US citizenship due to being born there
>Switzerland is at the San Diego Jewish AcademyLmao
The Ivorians are getting spoiled, practicing in this beautiful comfy stadium with a fun bridge. Just, uh... don't walk across the street into Chester...
>>155043809Like recognizes like
>>155032645Yes, it's a weird mashup of old money wasps/jews and nogs. The road system is retarded and some how keeps the humans and nons from mixing that much, kinda like how the currents in that African river are so strong that separate species of fish occupy the same river instead of being mixed. UNCG is gentrifying a lot of the city. Good place to study cognitive dissonance of liberals. Could be worse though, they could be in Durham, Fayetteville or Lumberton.
team canada can walk to their games from the hotel
>>155056892it's also a nice hotelmy parents lived on a boat there
>>155056892>>155056932What's something nice to see in Vancouver that you can't see anywhere else? I'm probably visiting sometime around May next year.
>>155056973I would say playoff hockey but the Canucks suck
>>155056973ubc museum of anthropology probably has biggest collection of native carvings, maybe seattle has a place with moreif you're into east asian stuff richmond is probably closest thing to china in a western countryit's most known for it's setting/nature, there's 20km of waterfront trail, may is a good time of year weather wise
>>155057281Fair. I've about a solid day and a half to spend: probably something like downtown-Stanley Park-downtown for day 1, and wandering around Granville for a few hours day 2 ... sound reasonable?
WC tourist here. Do they get to choose where they stay? I thought it was assigned because IIRC in the previous WC some teams were complaining about having to do more bus hours but maybe I'm getting mixed up here
>>155025331>one team in Mexico City>Mexicofucking sovl...
>>155058084Mexico has to be staying in Mexico, Mexico. Otherwise it would be confusing.
>>155058041I think FIFA and the host country decide places that are capable of housing a team for the tournament (hotels, security, logistics, places to train etc), then the teams decide their first choice, second choice etc, and draw lots and so on until everyone's either selected or been assigned a team baseI hope the training sessions aren't behind closed doors or something. It'd maybe be nice for the locals to see the teams at work
>>155058214That's right, every NT applied 5 training camp options ordered by priority. Judging by how many random places there are on the map with only 1 team I don't think too many were denied being the first choice.
>>155033589Why are you so butthurt about the fact that we enjoy skipping spaces between some words, thus making them appear quite long? Number of letters stay the same.If you would say "freedom hamburger class action lawsuit" we would just type it as freedomhamburgerclassactionlawsuit. It's not complicated when you can see the components.
I'm genuinely, sincerely surprised that an ecosystem exists to support a sports centre with nine football pitches in Kansas City.
>>155059334KC is somehow one of the biggest areas for soccer in the country
>>155059334It's where the Sporting KC reserve team and their academy play and train.Dumb fact: before the KC reserve team rebranded to "SKC II" they were called the Swope Park Rangers.
>>155024759>Germany in Winston>Norway in GreensboroFinally... The world will see North Carolina for the shithole it always has been!
>>155025459Mexico has actual soccer infrastructure since its their #1 sportCanada literally has none
>>155059334I grew up in a town of just 10k and it had a 6-pitch Bermuda grass complex and a 5-pitch artificial turf one, is this not normal in Europe? Of course KC would have a place like thatt. American ignore flag
>>155025331what the hell is a sandy?>>155025768whats wrong>>155059793your flag is american tho???
>>155025459There are more venues in Mexico. Pachuca is close to CDMX, and I suppose Tijuana is close enough to LA.
>>155026500maybe I'm giving high-profile professional footballers too much credit but they'll be motivated and focused enough on the tournament. they can just go to Miami and party in their own time anyway.
>>155024759
>>155059334The founder of the Kansas City Chiefs was also probably the biggest soccer advocate in the country during the 20th century
>>155059879Iran had to stay in Mexico because of the stupidity with their Visas so they probably picked Tijuana since it's on the border.
>>155054125How the fuck do you lump Durham in with easily the two shittiest populated cities in the state? Brainrotted /pol/tard
>>155025459We have almost no soccer fields. The outdoor stadiums we have are two small MLS onesAnd the rest is shitty CFL astro turf that's like a 100 times worse than turf kn NFL fields
>>155059852suburb in Salt Lake City
>>155059852>>155060024It's where Real Salt Lake has their stadium.
>>155025479>>155035481TSUUUUU's training autism will unironically save the team from that. Good luck getting prostitute action with the the days ending at 10PM with some sauna/"light" gym exercise and starting at 5AM.You'd think I'm joking, but no one in that is capable of saying no to any autistic invitations from him.This would've been much more fun if the players today were the ones we had in the 80s and 90s.

>>155027569actually makes really good sense, the place is a luxury resort owned by our former governor now senator. It has like underground bunkers in case of nuclear fallout and a bunch of government officials have been there. It's in one the one of the prettier parts of the state, far from any urban setting.
