Re: FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United States: Discussion Thread
There are many people who think letting America host the 2026 world cup was a wrong decision and that they will have problems visiting this country to watch the World Cup games but I disagree and I think since America got the experience of hosting other great tournaments, they won't disappoint us and we are going to see a better world cup than what we saw in Qatar.
Obviously it will be better than Qatar and at least there will be no discrimination against unmarried couples and beer will be made available at the stadiums. Hotel rooms will be less expensive and travel will also be easier. But none of this matters, if the fans are unable to get a visa. Anyway, we have 3 years to go for the start of the tournament. Hopefully we will get some clarification regarding the visa issue by then. BTW, a lot can happen in three years. POTUS election is scheduled in around one and half years, for example. It's outcome can have a huge impact on the visa rules.
I think that completely opposite would happen. Hotels are more expensive in US than in Qatar. Cheat motels usually are not in the cities, and it will be costly to get there. Taxies are rather expensive in US. And all those stadiums are in the city centres. If this isnt New-York, then imho public transport isnt that developed as in other cities. People mostly travel by car. US is one of the brightest examples of capitalism. Locals will try to earn as maximum as possible from tourists
Believe me. About beer: wikipedia say that in Qatar it cost 14 bucks, in US, during NFL beer price differs from to 6 to 14 bucks
Plus tax. I would not call "more available", but definitely variety of alcohol will be wider
