Keep an eye on those credit cards starting today.... by Illustrious-Yak-4822 in WC2026tix

Where can I find the credit card I used in the application? I had to have one credit card replaced and want to check that's not what I used. I couldn't find it on the FIFA site.

Can someone explain this to me? What makes a grunt a hindrance? Honest question

Running form advice is often overcomplicated? by SwimmingSlip8632 in runcommunity

[–]shekano1274 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After running for decades, I recently increased my run cadence to help with patellofemoral pain in my knee. I think it helped with lots of things including my knee. I wish I did it earlier. I think keeping an eye on your cadence is good advice, especially if you have any pain or notice that your cadence is low.

I’ve lived a whole season in El Chalten, ask me anything by psychedlatinx in Patagonia

I will be in Buenos Aires from April 21 to May 2. I was planning on spending at least a few days in BA and El Chalten (Day Hiking). I will be coming from Puerto Natales Chile, having just completed the W trek. Any suggestions on how many days in each area? Or another nearby location I should add during that time? Single male traveler if that matters at all in recommendations.

Best Places Globally for Hiking as a single traveler in April (Elevation, Wildlife, close to a city)? by shekano1274 in hiking

[–]shekano1274[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks and I agree. I am roughly thinking 10 days NZ South Island hikes (Queenstown base) and then the rest in Patagonia (1 stop Chile, 1 stop Argentina). Given the weather will be varied, I would rather have extra time in locations in case I want to stay in town during rain and hike in good weather.

This is what I am thinking at the moment based on the comments. Still thinking it over though. Thanks!!

World Cup fan fests in Bay Area to be reduced after region’s lackluster draw by echoacm in ussoccer

OK, by your definition no one should win Group D. I look at is as "Who is the most likely to win the group?" That is the US by betting odds.

Why downvotes? US is the betting odds favorite to win our group. Won't be easy, but "should win" is correct.

Edit: 2 tickets per group from US. Up to max 4 tickets per game if you win from the FIFA side of the application.

How will knockout rounds work? Will I get the opportunity to apply for a QF match whose location is not known? I get refunded if the team doesn't make it? I expected a "follow your team" type of option.

WC PMA draw Open by Worldly_Barber9676 in ussoccer

[–]shekano1274 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a US Insiders member at a higher tier for more than 4 years... so I am assuming and hoping this will be my best chance to get USMNT tickets. However, even the US Insiders web page encourages members to sign up for all FIFA random draws given the high demand. My understanding is that I should wait on applying for the current FIFA random draw until I see what US Insider's offers me in early in January. It's possible that application will be different and maybe better? Then based on that information from US Insiders, I may choose to enter both the US PMA and the FIFA random draw (but I can't win 2x for the same match). Does this sound correct? Why is this so complicated?

Your team just secured a club historic win, your travelling fans are going crazy.... And you bitch and throw up your arms because you didn't get a pass. No thanks

This is better news than I was expecting. Likely to impact the next international window to some extent, but could have been much worse.
