Price hike at venues of events is normal anywhere in the world.

If it happens in Nigeria now, those whose brother is destroying the economy will start telling you that Nigerians are the problem.

Well, my opinion so far is that FIFA should never have allowed a Donald Trump America host this world cup.

Even attendance so far has been atrociously embarrassing.

Which world cup are you watching? Crowds atrocious??

Some of you will just open your mouth and talk rubbish. I guess, Donald Trump is also causing the low-turnout in Canada and Mexico too? Please, the blame lies squarely with greedy FIFA.

It's FIFA that sets ticket prices not the host country.
It is FIFA that acted a little greedy.

The probably looked at the fact that a combined Mexico, USA and Canada is probably their biggest potential World Cup market till date and wanted to exploit it to the fullest.

Then there was Donald Trump.
Then there was a certain war with Iran and the ultra security fallout.

Maybe they should add that to their hosting guidelines in future.

'If you intend to go to war or to provoke any nation to attack you in the run in to any FIFA tournament kindly do not apply as a host nation....'

What could possibly caused the empty stadium in a highly occupied country like United States?

Probably ICE agents

People don't want to caught off guard by ICE and then deported just because they wanted to see a game

Just take the Japan vs Netherlands match in Dallas for example yesterday.

It only shows pure hate for America and that ISLAMIC TERRORISM APOLOGISTS will always support themselves cos they care less about the truth.

America is a target for terrorism and there's no better chance for terrorists than now. They know what they are doing. America has the money to pay for the empty seats so far no terrorist comes near the crowds.

😂 Don't get fooled. Go and check the facts on the attendance on each game played in each city across the US, Canada and Mexico so far and you'll realize that it isn't as bad as projected.

The propaganda against Trump is just too much.

Are you sure you have been watching the world cup. matches hosted on America city are always having full or almost full capacity. don't go and mistake the Canada matches you have watched as America own. I have watched almost all the matches played so far and the early kick off ones, I watch when day break.
