Paolo Zampolli - "I'm an Italian native and it would be a dream to see the Azzurri at a US-hosted tournament. With four titles, they have the pedigree to justify inclusion."

No Paolo old mate, they don't have anything to justify inclusion. They didn't qualify, and pedigree doesn't come into it.

TBF, Paolo IS the guy that sold Melania to Trump... or at least got a commission on the sale.... Now he wants to patch things up with Meloni.. hahahahahah
 
I haven't read the details but mentions of games involving two uninteresting teams have had tickets released at much lower prices or a lot have been withheld and will be sold at low prices.

Apparently FIFA distorted available to create a fear of missing out and get a bit more for seats that wouldn't sell for so much.

Sounds like he’s arguing for a “divine right” to me
 
Hotels not reporting spikes in reservations. Despite the high demand from those abroad, they just be using airbnb or something else to hopefully compact the price. There's also a lot of opportunity to stay a bit away from the match city and travel there nearer to game day.
 
Now reports of Airbnb not seeing the expected booking numbers. That's despite word that a lot of people are going over even without tickets.

Are they staying off the grid with private rentals or in small towns away from match cities and coming in for the daily festivities?
 
Random ass question but who do we think will be the first team to drop their official World Cup squad and when will they do it?
 
Which nation will go on strike or have a big in camp fight? Ghana sacked their coach so they should be settled.

Qatar implosion incoming.

The USA - I expect some of the 'country club generation' will not be in the extended squad.

The USSF will tell Poch to include them. He'll say no - sack me and pay me out or I'll quit and tell the world why a country of 340 million people can't compete against much smaller European and South American countries because of the exorbitant 'pay to play' academies in a limited number of cities.

To be honest the best thing that could happen for them in the long term.

Qatar to have language barrier problems. They’re essentially a club at this point with the amount of foreigners playing for them (as in literal foreigners like Brazilians who are paid insane amounts of money to live and play there, not actual diaspora like Curaçao).
