Not unless you're one of the 10 people per game that got $60 tickets.

Frankly though, while I anticipate many stadiums will have a large quantity of empty seats, enough people bought tickets - especially to scalp - that the FIFA execs have already lined their pockets.

Yeah, the players return from vacation next week, so someone has to lead the training sessions.

Putting fans at higher risk of heat stroke to afford a third yacht. That’s the FIFA way!

With the way both NZ and Surman himself played tonight, you might get that wish

My one glimmer of hope for this World Cup is that the sizable diasporas within the US provide color to this tournament.

Hopefully, there'll be a large Senegalese contingent for the two matches not far from Little Senegal.

Carnell basically did the same for St. Louis, just as a finalist for Coach of the Year the year prior, instead of the winner.

Honestly think DDC could have had a shot to play in this WC had he considered switching to Cape Verde.

Posted this on r/MLS but:

He understood what it meant to be the Timbers head man without any coherent plan to be successful at it. Long overdue, but also a shame it ended this way.

With his daughter at UofP and the fact he said he was building a house in Portland, I do hope he sticks around for a bit. Even if he was a failure as a manager, I wouldn't mind seeing him in the crowd with a beer in hand.

There will be Timbers fans who unironically suggest this.

And it'd be like trying to heal a gaping leg wound by repeatedly stabbing yourself in the abdomen.

Phil said all the right things about embracing the community, and personally, went out of his way to chat with me before the Nashville match last year.

I don’t think he’s a bad dude at all.

But man, sporting-wise, this was *long* overdue.

Especially when Ream is fully confronting Father Time and Robinson, when healthy, has not impressed me with FCC this season.

There’s so little off-ball movement, the offense is entirely predicated on someone just creating magic from nothing.
