World Soccer XXXI: Golden Generation?

[MichVandal]

Again, any issues are on CONMEBOL and them wanting to do everything themselves, including field installations, despite others having plenty of (and better) knowledge of installing the fields in these stadiums.

US Soccer and FIFA have already planned out to install the grass fields months before the World Cup (like February/March) and are requiring stadiums to make modifications to allow wider fields.

So is that why nobody in South America is hosting this tournament? I get having in the US as a novelty a few years ago, but this should be in South America since it’s their tournament. The US is just invited.

lots of mad people with tickets are not getting in. Should be a fun aftermath.

I learned a long time ago that I'm not worthy to be a fan, because I also wanted to make the MLS more serious. Don't worry, the MLS won't miss you, apparently.

Oh I enjoy watching it when I can (don't have Apple) but I also understand how it's perceived worldwide and that needs to change.

Fox is sitting on info apparently, according to the Mexican broadcast and Univision the stadium is way overcapacity and the Miami Fire Department is considering canceling the whole shebang.

Also, couldn't have happened to a nicer stadium owner in Stephen Ross aka Mr. I want to host La Liga games in Miami. **** that guy.

[MichVandal]

Univision is now hearing 9:15 if it starts.

As well as team family members with tickets not getting in.

[MichVandal]

Also, Univision isn’t saying that the game will be canceled.

Might've just been the Mexican broadcast then. Rumors are definitely flying. Going to be a ****show once the match starts as well, fighting in the stands guaranteed.

According to Univision, not enough security to prevent fans from rushing the field. Fun.

CONMEBOL being cheap...

The bill they are going to get from the Miami PD will be pretty high seeing all of those lights outside the stadium.

Hopefully with a similarly high fine as well.

I'm just amazed that people had the balls to just show up without tickets and have the balls to just rush the gates, climb through ventilation ducts, etc.

Like, that idea just doesn't cross the mind of an American sports fan. Even in Hillbilly Land when you have something like #1 Alabama vs #2 Auburn or whatever equivalent you want to use.

MVP of the tournament is whatever company makes the tape that keeps the headset attached to the referees' faces. That stuff stays no matter the temp/humidity/rain.

There were thousands of Colombians marching down an Interstate last night in Florida. It’s a weird mindset.

At first I thought if the Iron Bowl were held every four years, and then this year they decided to play it in London, and for some reason there was a huge Alabama diaspora in London, then it could happen. But after thinking about it more, probably not. There just seems to be a different mindset when it comes to soccer fandom. The most you get at football games are videos of one or two drunk fans fighting, and sometimes that's even between fans of the same team. But there have been videos almost daily coming out of Europe of huge groups of people in the streets attacking other fans who were just minding their own business pregaming at a bar.

Something is up with this halftime show. It’s been constant ads for 10 min on Univision.
