@HendoWest@StatisticUrban Think it's more so the possible travel time and jet lag between New Zealand and the US rather than their capabilities as host.
@Mom0fBouys@troopzafc Their country (Jamaica) tied and lost to Curacao in the two matches of the qualifiers last fall. The tie at the last matchday sent Curacao to the World Cup and Jamaica to the interconfederation play-offs in March, where they lost.
@Angel_281974@earthcurated The one bridge there connects Manhattan with New Jersey, though there are also two tunnels underwater that connect the two. That river doesn't run through Manhattan - it separates it from The Bronx (the thin river on the left I assume is what you're talking about).
New Jersey’s NJ Transit is currently planning to charge more than $100 for return rail tickets from New York’s Pennsylvania Station to MetLife Stadium for FIFA World Cup games.
According to people familiar with the plans, who asked to remain anonymous in order to protect relationships, a return ticket purchased via NJ Transit, New Jersey’s transportation provider, is currently modelled for more than a seven-fold increase from its usual prices during the World Cup this summer.
The 18-mile rail journey, which includes a stop at Secaucus station, ordinarily costs $12.90 for a return ticket — the same pricing for the FIFA Club World Cup final last summer.
The new special event pricing, however, is due to come into effect for the World Cup and is currently due to be over $100.
