Not this pussy shit. **** the Cauldron.

Personally I dont understand how Leroy from Tonganoxie can be a Manchester United fan. Makes no sense to me. Certainly understand how he could get into Sporting KC though.

if you have basic cable and a $5 Peacock subscription (which is free if you have comcast), you can see every Premier League game live

and if you watch the two leagues there is no comparison between them. It is like division 2 football vs the SEC or the Big Ten

Mahomes will be apart of a video making the announcement

Maybe we’ll get lucky and have a USA vs. England matchup at Arrowhead.

Shame. You’d think they’d want him to a part of it instead.

Hosting a world cup is like hosting an Olympics. The municipality that gets conned into doing it ends up in economic disaster. It turns out not to make a lot of economic sense to build a bunch of stadiums to be used one time and then left for nature to reclaim.

There are some fascinating articles about the old soccer stadiums they made in Brazil for their world cup, and the condition they are in now. They're halfway decomposed, like scenes from "The Last of Us", a video game set in post-apocalyptic times.

Good thing we already have an 80k seat stadium and a bunch of hotels in the area

The infrastructure is already in place in all of these cities

Well since you're pluralizing cities I can assume this isn't a KC-specific bid, but a larger bid by US of A at large or some such, and KC would just be hosting some specific games. That would be cool.

I thought KC itself was gonna try to do what LA did in 1984 with the Olympics and just do it all on their own. They say that that Olympics was the last time a city pulled it off without going into ruin, and it was because LA was already built up enough to handle it in the first place.

Don't mind me.

I believe all World Cups are hosted by a country rather than a city.

This one will actually be split between USA, Canada, and Mexico.
