FIFA World Cup 2026

Here's an idea: no one go to watch the grass hockey tournament.

I was already unlikely to go due to limited interest and the cost, but jacking up the cost even more is totally discouraging. I was really only considering it for the novelty - this may realistically be my best shot at ever attending a WC match.

The honest Joes at FIFA are offering beautiful game swag at $375 a pop (a trashy looking tee)

This morning on a televised World Cup feature I heard that when it comes to betting:

In gridiron football if your team wins in sudden death, you win
In basketball if your team wins in OT, you win
In baseball if your team wins in extra innings, you win
In hockey if your team wins in a shootout, you win
In football soccer if your team wins in e.g. a shootout you do not win.

Paraguay are derriere but that doesn't take away from the fact that USMNT looked much less derriere than I expected them to be.

I know they were expected to win but I wouldn't have been shocked if USA lost 1-0. Nice bit of competence.
