Fucking cunts trying to ruin football

Fucking cunts, too stupid and weak to abandon a league run by fascists.

ā€œNope, gotta watch ball go left, then right, the left again! It is IMPERATIVE!ā€

North Korea and their long range missiles could do the funniest thing in a month or so.

a new category – ā€œsuite essentialsā€ – has been added to lower-profile games, allowing customers to buy an individual ticket for a suite that would previously have been sold to a group.

GOOD! more things for the rich and less for plebs.

The ā€œsuite essentialsā€ category promises ā€œthe beautiful game, simplifiedā€ and offers access to a hospitality suite, a numbered seat and ā€œprepackaged snacks, soft drinks, and a commemorative giftā€. Starting at $650

Wait, I thought nosebleed seats started at twice that?

There were like fifteen tickets at a $60 price point, which were technically the cheapest tickets but were basically just a fiction. The nosebleeds for the final do start at like twice that, but group stage matches are cheaper. I do think your broader point is spot on — this is a way to lower prices without admitting they’re lowering prices due to suppressed demand.

I think I was looking at the final game prices too. But yeah, they’re definitely not selling as well this year.

ā€œhospitality suiteā€ is not a private suite, it’s one big room with a shitty buffet and is so crowded you won’t want to be in there if you care about the game at all.

Hope Trump finds a way to make fifa insolvent.

He’ll find a way to give FIFA taxpayer dollars for luxury accommodations.

  • Packages still available for 102 of the 104 matches

  • Fifa selling individual suites in former group sections

Fifa does not comment on commercial deals, but insists overall ticket sales are ahead of projections

Lying their ass off as usual. Will be interesting to see how much money and prestige this whole mess costs them and the Mango Mussolini šŸ˜„

I’m currently on a training plan to get a prestigious Strava KOM on a slightly dangerous route and my plan is to make an attempt during every England world cup game because it’s the only time there’s nobody on the roads. Don’t plan on watching any of it this year.
