Based on the lovely announcement that the usually $12.90 return train ticket from NYC to Metlife Stadium is being 7x'd to over $100 during the World Cup (not a typo), and the fact that they are not allowing parking in the massive car park (even charging for it), my quick back of the *** packet maths....Family of four already staying in Manhattan, to go to England Panama using t

Funnily enough Canada is worse. 2 tickets to Canada - Bosnia, which lets be real, nobody will watch, are 3.3k CAD. Cheapest I could find. Add in travel + hotel(in Toronto) and you're easily paying 4k for 2 people to watch Canada - Bosnia, which again, nobody will watch.

Not me either but we do need a hero. This thing needs to start all ready. Any one from USA/Mexico/Canada want to step up since they are hosting irl?

I got a bet $250 on the WC winner to also win $50 bonus bets for each goal they score. Spain is the obvious choice, right? Easy group, so I should easily get my money back in bonus bets from just the group and then I also have the win equity.

Or is there another team I should target?

Spain are favourites to be the highest scoring team so if you are getting $50 per goal then that is a good one to go for.
