    If I go to any of those, it'll probably be the Portugal or Netherlands games. I'd like to see Germany in person but not against an amateur junior varsity squad. Maybe the tickets for Cape Verde/Saudi will be cheap.

    Might go to Dallas with my Brit friends to see England/Croatia.

    Hope the temperatures in Houston will be somewhat humane, at least we got lucky regarding the opponent. Our other group games are in Toronto and New Jersey.

    Dallas got way more lucky than you guys.

    Netherlands-Japan
    England-Croatia
    Argentina-Austria
    Japan-UKR/POL/SWE/ALB
    Argentina-Jordan

    I would rather see Messi but he has played like 5 times at NRG

    Hard to get super fired up about such a water downed tournament until knock outs

    No idea what the stadium is all about, just remember some unacceptable conditions during the Club World Cup this summer and realised my guys will have to play around noon local time... so I guess no reason to worry?

    Us US Americans are at least smart enough to build stadiums with roofs.

    Well...mostly.

    Roof will most certainly be closed. I’m more concerned about the pitches. It was baaaaad for the Copa America…trying to lay grass over turf. That was apparently COMNEBOL’s doing and FIFA has full control of them for this. But my confidence levels in FIFA are nonexistent.

    Of course they had to add a quarter break. We all now what's gonna happen in those three minutes. Losing the game we love.

    Why they are playing 1 hour longer than an NBA game.

    Houston has the largest avg hotel price increase of any host city: 457% (for comparison, Dallas 174%)

    It is starting to feel like the 1936 Olympics.

    Immigrant visas aren't the same as tourist visas but wrong forum to dive into all that.

    Ticket drawing results today. I had multiple people put in. I was the only one not to get tickets, but my family fared much better and I now have a lot of tickets for Atlanta. 12 for both match 72 & 80
