Both, for similar reasons. Arrowhead packs most of its fans along the sidelines. Seattle's stadium does as well, plus they have a roof over most of the seats to protect from their constant showers in the cold months and reflect sound back down to the ground.

There are some pretty brilliant MLS grounds but as noted, too small for the World Cup. They typically seat between 20 and 30 thousand.

Did they consider increasing capacity for any of them? Personally I quite like RB arena as a stadium.

Some good news today from Qatar, although it still suggests that organising stuff isn’t their strong point.

The Qatari ministry of health have just announced that negative Covid tests will not be required for entry from Nov 1st.

Up until a month ago the requirement was for visiting fans to have been vaccinated within the 12 months prior to entry, everyone scrambled to get jabbed in the recent booster schedule.

Then they recently changed it to no vax required, a pre departure neg test prior to boarding needed instead. Cue fan panic, protest at the cost and logistics involved, particularly for those on multiple matchday shuttle flights, predictions of chaos at departure airports worldwide and also on arrival.

Hopefully they don’t change again and I wont need this pile of hooky negative test certificates.

Made up for you mate.

Fingers crossed it stays that way. Hope you have a belting trip, I really do.

Think with USA is they have literally a huge proportion of stadia ready. The only one I’ve seen to make it, with an expansion is Toronto’s stadium, due to reach over 40,000.

It really will be a World Cup for the fans with Stadia reach 60,000 for most games. It’s what we all want.

My initial thought was almost impossible to call but if I had to then England and Wales. But I'm starting to have my doubts now about Wales.

No one feels good about their side in this group anymore. It's relative I think, England probably still mostly feel good about advancing but I have to think last year a lot more people thought they could win it than now. I think in general American fans feel like we could easily be done in two matches now.

Yeah its impossible to call really. It's just about who's ready when the first games kick off.
 
Surprised that there’s such disregard of England here.

Personally, I don’t think they stand a chance of going far, but I think they win the group. Iran aren’t anything special, and USA/Wales are evenly matched with England benefitting from less pressure for wales group, if they’re through.

Guess I’ll be vaulted if I’m wrong, but I just don’t really rate USA, one bit.

We have good players but are pretty terribly managed
