I'm not following the Club World Cup — this tournament isn't very interesting. The stadiums are half-empty, and there's barely any atmosphere. Plus, betting on matches where European giants face clearly weaker teams doesn't make much sense. Streaming as a marketing move is fine, but this event probably won’t attract many players.

I criticised FIFA for the bad choice of the hosting country especially at the time of unrest and restriction that some players had like the no entry for Boca Juniors defender thought.
It is true that European teams are favourite but we should not neglect Brazilian teams too.
There is for example Inter and Dortmund that got draws in their games against a Mexican and Brazilian teams respectively.
Unfortunately the number of followers is certainly lower comparing to the theory that the competition held in Europe. Nevertheless, there is still bettors and some of them lost their bets because several results were unexpected.

Well Trump has 40-50% of the country as a loyal follower.

So 40 to 50% of the USA hates soccer ⚽️ football.

Next Trump cracked down on airports and travel banning 12 and soon to be 48 countries. So the seats are naturally empty.

But this means tickets 🎫 will be less costly for the daring fans that say fuck trump fuck the USA 🇺🇸 I am going to watch my team in person.

To all the come to a game have fun and good luck for your team .

And thank the Muskless Trumpeter for the seats.

note if you detect some playful sarcasm thats fine by me.

It is fine for me, no worries

Having a low price tickets is certainly good for fans but I wonder if FIFA milking body will enjoy seeing their profits halved because of these measures, especially when we talk about their biggest competition next year. Maybe things in Canada and Mexico could lower their impact.
When we talk about having fewer fans, this could affect indirectly the players and their results, thus people bets and make things whether more predictable for top teams ? So no more Saudis winning against Argentina Wink
