@DJ_Dranix @WelBeast True, but there are about half as many NFL home games per season as home games in football/soccer and way less than hockey, basketball or baseball. With fewer opportunities to see the team live, you've got to maximize the stadium!

[Ian MacPhee @mallard2000]

@ChubbyFC_ Agreed. Last I heard, the World Cup is about rival teams on the pitch, not competition between stadiums or local fanbases.

[Ian MacPhee @mallard2000]

@JoshuaRey00 Totally agree. After seeing the size of some of the nfl stadiums bc place looks pretty intimate!

@aftncanada I seem to remember from the podcast you werent sure you were going to make it. I’m glad you did!

@backseat_m @gothamhiphop Canadian here. USA were great. Paraguay was shit. refs call were favouring the USA. But it made no impact on the result. USA deserved their win.

@CaisterDavid @ozdale Correction... it's Granville St. Sorry to be an ass!

@JaguarGator9NFL I find "captive prices" such as airports and stadiums are generally cheaper in Canada than the USA.

@jordan0saur @tokifyi I hope you have a great time here! Via Tevere on Victoria Drive. No contest. Just get there early or be prepared to wait.

@MadelnCanada We don’t desecrate mountains in Canada.

@kylesheldon @FWC26Vancouver @scienceworldca Vancouver is about as much of a soccer city as any in Canada or USA. And to think some want to take away the well supported Whitecaps. Pure greed. #savethecaps.

@allanrg1 @PeteSchaad Ha! This confused me when I lived in the UK and I still find it weird today even though I know what they mean.

[Ian MacPhee @mallard2000]

@PeteSchaad 100%!!!! Glad you mentioned it. It’s the World Cup. Nothing else. FIFA is the questionable organization that runs it.

[Ian MacPhee @mallard2000]

@Slew912580 @DrNeilStone Ha! We all have our bubbles (including me).

[Ian MacPhee @mallard2000]

@RobTheHockeyGuy Try going with kids.

[Ian MacPhee @mallard2000]

@Slew912580 @DrNeilStone I live in Vancouver and I don’t know a single person who isn’t excited about the tournament. Bottom line is depends on what circle you are in. The same hesitancy was in place before the winter Olympics, but everybody loved it once it started.

[Ian MacPhee @mallard2000]

@RealCiarbo When I read the posts (not just from Wheeler) it sounded awful but when you actually watch Garber's response, I thought it was nothing new to be concerned about with a reasonably positive tone. Nothing to be hopeful for either, but definitely more neutral than the posts suggest.

@MarksGonePublic @BruceCarscadden @BrentRichter @NorthShoreNews Fair point for sure. But I support anything that is mostly privately funded and that my family will enjoy.
