I don’t think a lot of Canadians or Mexicans are going to be able to afford to go to the games in their own countries. They may be hosting, but the ticket prices are absurd.
That will never happen. Based on some of the events and attendance of those events the World Cup will be fine. Everybody just won’t be able to charge 1000% markups.
Like at London 2012 where there was a ban on chips (fries for our US friends) from anywhere that wasn’t McDs until backlash got strong enough. Imagine granting a single company the sole right to chopping potatoes into long sticks and putting them in hot oil for a few minutes. Even in the glorious 2010s and the days of the “millennial lifestyle subsidy” our ugly late stage capitalism was showing.
If the World Cup has a lot of half empty stadia, I’d be happy.
It might be interesting if the Mexican and Canadian stadia were full though.
I hope Canadians grow a pair and boycott the entire thing. Fuck FIFA.

Sounds like what happens with the Olympics and Commonwealth Games.
