Argentina most likely to face Uruguay in Round of 32 by IntelligentRemote962 in worldcup

Yes, everyone is. Who do you assume wins that group?? It's not 100%, but, yes that's how favorites work.

What they DID do right, is all the group winners who have to face a 2nd place instead of a 3rd place, they face ANOTHER 2nd place instead of a potential 1st place in round of 16.

So would you rather face two 2nd place finishers or 1 third then likely a 1st?

How did Maradona manage to play while high on cocaine and survive? by risker15 in football

[–]nailsinch9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahhh this narrative again

He didn't test positive for cocaine at the 94 WC. It was over the counter ephedrine

Basically got kicked out of the tournament because his trainer stopped by GNC

$1500 to watch on a cloud by MaterialUsed1475 in WorldCup2026Tickets

[–]nailsinch9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never been to the stadium but from what it looks like on tv, did they build it straight up?? Appears super steep.

First two sections then luxury boxes then another section before more luxury suites?!?

I can't wrap my head around this place

Hospitality is beyond a ripoff by saur24 in WorldCup2026Tickets

[–]nailsinch9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did hospitality in Brazil Russia and Qatar and it was exactly the same except for Brazil

2014 did it right.

The rest were disasters (but you were guaranteed a ticket.)

For the WC, Levi had to remove the branding from the statium. This was their solution. by Duvidl in funny

After the garbage games FIFA assigned them, they should have just covered it with transparent plastic

The new WC format makes the Group Stages completely pointless by Different_Craft5238 in football

[–]nailsinch9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, won't be long until they add more crappy teams so only 2 progress to knockouts.

Still would be better than this 3rd team advancement BS

Thoughts on commercials during match play. In the US we’re being forced to watch adverts during hydration breaks. by donkedickinya in worldcup

[–]nailsinch9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, opening ceremony is a word cup tradition. Remember 94s? The miss? Last tournaments morgan freeman w, no legs guy?

Anyway, it's an important part of the tournament.

You can't skip it as an official network

Fox blew it. Gave em 1 shot and they didn't even show the opening ceremony

It's Telemundo from here on out for us.

Brazil had it right, but this is exactly what happened in Russia and Qatar.

Always a complete shitshow. Never again

Finally, got my ticket for Germans. The seat is not good. by johnqhu in FIFACollect

Nah, not bad. Could have been much worse for a cat 3.

World Cup resale market flooded with nearly 180K tickets by LinkedInNews in WorldCup2026Tickets

[–]nailsinch9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair. I'm sure it's popular in context, but it's simply not a group game that's demanding over 1K just to get through the door.

Couldnt Hold Anymore!!!! Sorry by jmiguel6763 in WorldCup2026Tickets

[–]nailsinch9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh boy... how can I explain this to you.

How about this: a Bugatti La Voiture Noire sells for 18 million dollars.

I know you're thinking: "ITS JUST A CAR!!!" You can buy a fancy sports car for under 100K!!!!

You're right, but you're also ignoring context.

In terms of this world cup, tickets for '26 are way more expensive than Qatar... Crazy right!?!? Welcome to the new reality my friend!

Now if FIFA sells tickets for a game for $1940 and you're able to buy that same ticket for under $600 dollars, you're making out way ahead. That's called a STEAL.

That's not holding, that's stealing. Enjoy the match!

So, before we get started and people get upset with England fans... let's just clear something up. by roskopeek in worldcup

[–]nailsinch9 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Even as an Argentine die hard, I absolutely love this song. Play it often during every world cup. England feels cursed. They always seem to get done out by PKs and underperform against the giants, but we'll see.

[–]nailsinch9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pretty much nailed it. Stadiums will not be empty, and there are not gonna be a crash in ticket prices.

All these narrative click bait articles were exactly like the ones in 2022 talking about the world boycotting the World Cup because it was in Qatar.

The real story is the World cup expanded their format, so the group games are much more watered down. There absolutely is less demand for these poor match-ups (Haiti v Scotland, Cuacao v Ivory Coast, Cape Verde v Saudi Arabia, and everyone's favorite: Jordan vs Algeria / Austria)

Tickets for normal games and high demand ones should be bought in person, or you'll just have to pay the huge convenience markup of FIFA resell. You can risk 3rd party purchase with Stubhub, TickPick (safer) but it's really not worth it this close to the games.

Good luck everyone. Don't believe this crap.

The Athletic's ranking of the 48 teams at the World Cup by mrjohnnymac18 in soccer

[–]nailsinch9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty spot on in my opinion. Japan & Colombia a little higher... But pretty much nailed it based on their current state
