If the US ends up getting lucky and wins this thing, can we rename it "Kickball Super Bowl"?

That was a great game. That 2nd goal from Haiti was a missile. 


I would have loved to check that one. Hakimi is one of my fav players.

Hakimi was a level above everyone else on the field

Looking at Argentina or USA tickets (Atlanta and Seattle, respectively) for the Round of 16, should they make it. Both are just under $3k per ticket for the cheapest... IDK. 


France in Round of 32 in NYC is like $250 per ticket... But USA or Messi is a much bigger appeal to me.

I can’t think of a game where I’d pay $3000 a ticket. Just to far out of my comfort zone.


My FB feed is raging over Ella Langley tickets being $1200


People keep paying so I guess tickets won’t change.


Everything ticketwise seems 3-5x higher than 2020

I was out completely. But the wife is getting caught up in the fever, and we can get hotel and flights for free, which helps mitigate the costs to a more manageable amount. 

I would kill to see the USMNT win a game in the USA to reach the quarterfinals of the World Cup. So I would pay $3k, but not much more. Same for Messi just seeing him in a World Cup, but I am less inclined on that one. Main draw there is its Atlanta and we can get in and out so easily on Delta with 1.5 hour directs...

I'm still tracking  tickets....but not sure why. I missed the boat, I should have fucked off work and went to KC.


Denver, gladly has been a blast. Two awesome watch parties a quick scooter ride away and all the bars in the area have been going off daily. 


Tbh, it's made me really appreciate Denver more and the diversity. I've been out for US, Colombia, Argentina, and Mexico. The crowds have been electric.

Who would the game in NY be? 


I will say Atlanta Stadium is awesome and food prices are great $18 for a large pizza at a game. Parking there sucked and leaving the game after sucked. If you do go, go as soon as doors open. Give you time to check out the stadium and merchandise and enjoy the party in the stadium. 


I think I paid less than 3k a ticket for the Ohio State national championship there.

I saw Ella twice a couple weeks ago. First was an acoustic set at the Ryman then at Nissian. She was great but not worth 1200. I think I paid $76 for the Ryman and $250 for Nissian and that included Jelly Roll Jason Aldean Florida Georgia line as a few others. I will say Ella booked some killer openers. Avery Anna and Madeline Edwards are probably my two favorite people to see in Nashville right now still playing small stages on the regular.

Defense sucked. I know they didn’t play much of their top roster guys but it was tied, brought in our star and we lose as the game ends.


For those that have no worries after that “meaningless” game….why is the drop off with the backups so big?

Ive been to all corners of Mercedes Benz, but I would still probably go relatively early for the atmosphere. 


The NYC game will be France vs someone. Assuming France top their group.

Chris Richards is extremely valuable, even old man Ream, so yeah the backline depth is definitely a concern. 


Also Turkey severely underperformed in the group and they played their asses off.

Mbappe over Yamal for the time being yamal is next in line though

Agree to disagree there. Mbappe for France is another level than Mbappe for Madrid. Which, I guess, could be the argument given this is the World Cup.

Pulisic can’t just make the other guys magically be better. Pepi is not a great striker. The game was meaningless which is why only one or two starters started the game. I’m not understanding your other question though. If you look at the NFL, the backups are mostly trash too. We have 12-13 good players and then a talent drop off, as with most teams.
