If the Mexican fans that were setting off fireworks last night outside the England Squads hotel can come back again and do it again today to help us celebrate it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You.
@James_ChronNTFC Couldn't believe his comment in the post match interview " there was negativity in the stands which went on to the pitch". So its the fans fault now we didn't have a shot on target against the worst team I have seen this year??!
Football Supporters' Association statement on World Cup prices:
The prices set for the 2026 World Cup are scandalous, a step too far for many supporters who passionately and loyally follow their national sides at home and abroad.
Everything we feared about the direction in which FIFA wants to take the game was confirmed - Gianni Infantino only sees supporter loyalty as something to be exploited for profit.
Prices for England's matches have been set as some of the highest, priced at $7020 if you want to follow the team from start through to the final.
If you are "lucky" enough to reserve the cheapest ticket for the final you'll need to hand over $4185, approximately £3200 - that's £35 per minute of the game.
FIFA call this the “Supporter Value” category - that's a laughable insult to your average fan.
Supporters are expected to hand over all of this money in February to FIFA, who will keep it in their bank account to accrue interest. If England are knocked out before the final they'll then return it, minus an admin fee of course. They are beyond shameless.
This is a tournament that is supposed to be celebrated by the world, where fans of all nations come together for the love of football. FIFA have decided to make it all about the money and the elite who can afford it.
For FIFA, loyalty is not the hard-working fan travelling thousands of miles in support of their team at qualifiers around the continent. A game that should be for all is now only for those who can afford it.
ACTION NEEDED
We back Football Supporters Europe in calling for a halt in ticket sales and we are calling on the Football Association to work with fellow FAs to directly challenge these disgraceful prices.
We call on all national associations to stand up for your supporters, without whom there would be no professional game.
The most loyal fans feel they have been stabbed in the back. Those same fans, their passion, their colours, their noise will be missing in America, Mexico and Canada, unless significant price reductions are introduced.
Supporters who have looked forward to this tournament for years, supporters who have been to multiple World Cups, supporters who were excited about this being their first tournament will all be missing as it will be unaffordable.
Who needs to follow England away for disappointment when FIFA can deliver that six months before a ball is kicked? The life has been sucked out of this tournament before it starts.
The premiere league and sky sports are an embarrassment to our game. Its all about TV. Football is about a pint with your mates and moaning about how shit your team is. WTF
@BBCMOTD Watch out football fans. This is the start of a slippery slope towards making our teams franchises that can be moved. Just like the NFL & MLS.
@ntfc I don't usually moan and I have been a season ticket holder for many years but the food tonight in the nothing stand was shocking. Nothing left at 30mins. The so called 'cook' was taking selfies. Young kids at their first game could only have coke or Haribos. Awful.
@BBCMOTD We are watching the slow death of English football. Being bought by Americans who are manipulating the game to make'fairystory' TV programmes and loads of money. Only a matter of time until our leagues are the NFL or MLS. Government stand up and dont be afraid of UEFA
