I mean, this is nothing compared to some of the delays weโve had during club games. Just be glad you werenโt trapped in the stadium for 7+ hours with concessions out of food.
Everything about this WC is catered to greedy corporations, people in power & bored rich folks.
Nothing, and I mean not a single fucking thing about this tournament, is for the fans.
The gimmicky bullshit only serves as a distraction while FIFA continues to rob fans blind.

You hate to see that.
All fans will be permitted to bring in one, soft, plastic, 20 ounces (590ml), factory sealed disposable water bottle into any FIFA World Cup 2026 match in the USA and Canada. โ
As FIFA World Cup 2026 Chief Operating Officer, Heimo Schirgi, explains, fans will not be permitted to bring in hard sided, reusable water bottles due to safety and security reasons. โ
We canโt wait to welcome the world to the biggest FIFA World Cup in history! ๐๐โฝ
Canadian National Team head coach Jesse Marsch on the potential replacement for Marcelo Flores at the World Cup.
Coach says Canada will wait until after the match against Ireland to make a decision, but Austin FC winger Jayden Nelson has certainly made a strong case for himself ๐จ๐ฆ

FIFA has announced a new pre-game ceremony for the World Cup that will see all the players included in a matchday squad line up around the centre circle before the national anthems are played.
The ceremony will also include extra-large country flag banners and the players will enter the pitch through a dedicated arch closest to the tunnel.
FIFAโs new approach to the pre-match ceremony means that even the substitutes will be lining up on the pitch before the game kicks off.

๐จ NEW: Due to the recent heat waves, a Climate Central study has stated that 97 out of 104 World Cup games will be played in UNFAVOURABLY HOT conditions.
This could lead to the games having a slower pace. @La_SER
FIFA just banned resealable water bottles at #WorldCup matches... Fans cannot bring empty water bottles to fill up at the stadium...
It is going to be scorching hot in Miami. Brutal.
I believe we now have evidence of FIFA's World Cup ticketing shell game: FIFA is colluding with third-party resale platforms for its own supply management.
Look at this SeatGeek map (secondary market!) for Saudi Arabia vs Cape Verde. The circled areas are not random single resale tickets, but large, contiguous blocks of seats: entire rows and swaths in sections 101/102, 112/113, 119/120, 134โ137, 139, ...
The blue circles appeared weeks ago, then the purple blocks suddenly showed up a day or two ago, and the red blocks seem to have appeared recently too.
That's not what ordinary fan or even commercial scalper resale looks like who resell pairs, fours, and scattered seats. Instead, this looks like inventory being dumped in bulk onto secondary markets, at prices below FIFA's official site.
Why doesn't FIFA just lower prices on its own site Probably because official price cuts could trigger refund demands, chargebacks, or consumer-protection headaches from fans who already bought at much higher prices.
Instead FIFA keeps official prices high, avoids openly admitting the market-clearing price is lower, and moves unsold inventory through third-party resale platforms instead.
