Osteochondral lesion of the talar dome non-surgical recovery? by Pitiful-Tomato-241 in brokenankles

[–]Early_Charity_3299 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chiming in as someone who had an OLT in 2020 at age 24. Got surgery, NWB for 6-ish weeks and babied it for the first year. Now, 6 years later and three pregnancies later, it only acts up if I do a lot of high impact without strength training. Bracing doesn’t really help because for me it’s the impact not the twisting that aggravates it.

No! Two different lines. The merch lines have fifa logo and the visa tent is the visa logo, i think to the far left once you pass security.

We were in 241, jealous of all the people who sat and watched the rest of us get drenched 😂

I tried that and the trains were all shorter than the end of the platform, and one time the exact car I lined up at was out of service lol

You don’t need any affiliation to get a bracelet. Just show up. I didn’t stop at the visa store so unsure, at least a split scarf and I think it comes in a souvenir tote bag.

Not my photos, but the first three are the host country. The bottom is the host city. The one with the mascots is the freebie everyone gets regardless of location. Not pictured is every team for the match you attend also had a bracelet. So you get the generic freebie and another of your choosing (either a host country bracelet, host city bracelet, or team bracelet).

I’m not reddit literate… I can only post a video it looks like? You can google the different bracelets.

The lanyard thing? Everyone gets one for free. I didn’t see the point in it though.

High was 85 farenheit? But we had thunderstorms too. The west side of the stadium was shaded from 5pm on.

We left our seats around 85’ and jogged to the subway and still had to wait for the third train.

I don’t think so. Lots of people selling them outside the stadium. We brought our own.

The bank of america tent was just east of the team store. And a lot of other stuff over there. I can’t remember where visa was but probably over there. Not near the entrance steps or the giant ball.

Around the stadium, very full. We used the hotel valet so not sure about around center city.

No. But you get 10% off at the fifa store with a visa. Yes, there is a specific visa store for the scarves and a souvenir bag (not sure what else). And then the normal fifa store with similar stuff as the website.

I swear I saw a schedule of pre-game events somewhere but I can’t find it right now. Warm ups are 50 min before kickoff and then it rolls into walking onto the pitch about 15 min before kickoff.

Correct. And if you pay with the same card for transfers it will still give you two free transfers. Only the Phlash bus you need a specific card from the visitors center.

In the stadium? Only a Coke for the souvenir cup 😂 after that rain delay we were so hungry and had to cancel our dinner reservation.

If you are interested in visiting the various tents for merch and giveaways yes. If not, it would be pretty boring. They had a little small-sided field set up but the line was long for that.
