  1. The most inexpensive ticket for the final in the US is priced at $2,030, with the most expensive at $6,370.

    The cheapest ticket for the 2022 final in Qatar was $206 …a rip off…what ordinary working man can afford these prices, and don`t forger the travel costs as well

  2. I definitely said, WORLDCUP is the BEST time for SUDDEN ATTACK. WW3 is nearly coming.
    you just watch the soccer show and meet the missile.
    too many intel say, asssembly army is already start

  3. all the silliness around this competition and yet, still football fans are not going to care, they will support their respective teams and they will watch the games. People calling for boycotts are hilarious. And completely devoid of common sense. Because at the end of the day all the crying and moaning isn't gonna change a damn thing. The competition will go ahead regardless.

  4. THE OLYMPIC COMMITTEE SHOULD RECONSIDER THE US LOCATION . It’s ridiculous that the US is hosting an event and not allowing countries and citizens of those countries come come and participate. SHAMEFUL!
