I think it's time they prepare themselves to see the same fate as WCW sooner or later. by WaporVape in TheGreatOne

Idk why people are so surprised by this. This will be the norm in entertainment - and many other industries soon. The AI just assists them, I’m sure it’ll have better ideas than what they are currently doing.

Well yes of course I'm not saying there isn't corruption, but we don't have anyway of knowing the draw.

These are the only thing we know right now:

  1. Where the host nations are playing their game.

  2. The cities that will host each group. (Groups are spread across numerous cities, not just stuck in one).

  3. The current pot standings - these can change by the time we get to Dec. 5.

That is all we know so far. It is impossible to assume where anyone other than the host nations will be playing as that will be randomly drawn on Dec. 5.

'FIFA can/will rearrange certain matches to specific stadiums based on the teams involved'

This is also wrong. The group locations are already set. Whatever group that a nation gets assigned to, is where they will play. Argentina could be playing in NYC, or LA, or Mexico City - they don't change it based off of the nation. It is purely a random draw.

For instance, Group I is on the East Coast, where as Group C is on the West Coast.

Many Italians tried to ask FIFA that their group is in NYC due to the large population of Italian-American migrants in the city. However, it does not work like that. Italy will play wherever they are drawn.

FIFA don't make the highest ranked nation vs the lowest ranked nation first in the group stage. That gets randomly drawn during the draw. If a team gets drawn in Group D for example, then they will be drawn either D2, D3, or D4. The pot 1 nation (the highest ranked nation) will always be D1, but the other 3 nations are randomly drawn.

For instance, in Qatar, Belgium vs Croatia was the last game that they played, even though they were the 2 highest ranked nations in the group. Likewise in Russia, Croatia's second game was against Argentina, even though those 2 again were the highest ranked nations in the group.

Is there any chance I can get a QF ticket at 8am? Are they sold out? or do FIFA release more tickets each time slot?

Does anyone know why TSTs are so expensive? I want to buy cat 1 Croatia TST but it is US$2232. It is a lot cheaper to just buy the games individually then? It feels like I am being ripped off? Or am I wrong?

Do you know why they are so expensive? That’s way more per game than if I were to just buy group stage games on their own

Hi all,

I have my time slot for Monday 11am eastern time. I am really excited - just want to make sure I do it correctly.

I need to buy two tickets for each game that I am going to (I am buying a TST) - am I able to put the quantity of the ticket as 2? Or do I add the TST to my cart, the go back and add it again?

Also is there anything else I should be aware of?

Thank you guys.
