And for sure that greedy bald twat Infantino will make it 48 teams, so he and his cronies can pocket even more money. And I’m sure the broadcasters will want more EPL teams as well as the likes of Barca there as well.
I guess in 2029 there would be playoffs between some EPL teams/Barca vs some Auckland City teams before CWC starts.

The organizers have done a really terrible job marketing this event stateside, maybe they actually don't want this to be successful
I think ticket pricing is an issue too. When i was looking to go they were asking like 80 dollars for Juve vs freaking wydad and it got more and more expensive with each game. Utter madness, glad I'm going to Valencia instead of this shite.

And beyond that, I cannot stress how overtly stupid these match times are for a local audience. Not only do you pay that money, but you have to take a day off of work too for a glorified friendly. Not everyone can do that here.

And then of course, the Trump effect for international matchgoers.

And to add, no one can say it's a lack of American interest in the sport. Atlanta United brings in an average of 46,000+ fans for MLS matches to this stadium.

I've heard that students were given $20 tickets to fill the arenas.

A year ago, Bielsa told them everything, it seems like no one cares

true, for me one of the main reasons I didn't go is the Trump effect in the end, despite how ridiculous the ticket prices were, it would have been nice to go with some friends for the 'experience' and following Juve in another country.

I know Atlanta United is generally well attended, as is most MLS games I've seen.

I watched Juve vs Stuttgart and Brugge together in the CL for that.

80 dollars vs some team nobody knows about in what is practically a glorified pre season tournament, it's not value for money to me.
This is the closest it will get to CL here. And I know a lot of Hispanics that would spend that and more to attend those games had they been properly advertised. Also having seattle as a venue as opposed to hispanic dense areas is really dumb. I know lame ass sounders are playing but still dumb.

If Gago was still in charge, Boca would be 2-0 down instead.

They will eventually win, this is a very weak boca
This is also a very poor benfica too, I actually predicted a draw beforehand.

what a dumbshit penalty to give away
