I have a crazy storu about AT&T. I moved from Liverpool to Vancouver, Canada in 2009. Shortly after the Vancouver Whitecaps joined the MLS and myself and a few expats who missed going the games would select 2/3 away a season to travel too. In 2016 we went to watch us play in Dallas one weekend, there was about 10/11 of us in total. After the game we went to this bar close to the stadium to have a few drinks and sitting on a table across from us was this lad sitting with, what we assumed was his date/gf, and she was absolutely fuckin gorgeous. Anyway we'd had a few drinks and probably a bit loud and this girl gets up and leaves and this las is just sitting at the table finishing his nachos. We thought maybe we'd been a bit loud and pissed off his girl so we got his attention to apologise. Turned out he worked for the Cowboys and was the guy who hired all the promo girls for match days, it was July and he was hiring for the new NFL season and it was actually an interview he was doing lol. We thought he was bullshitting but he pulled out his business card and said 'call me monday morning and come out to the stadium, Ill give you a tour'. As it happened on Monday morning we planned to travel to New Mexico on our way up to Denver were the Whitecaps were playing the next weekend. We called the guy on Monday morning and true to his word gave us a tour of the stadium, all the offices including Jerry's lol. We went onto the field but sadly at the time they were building the stage for an upcoming Guns N Roses concert so the turf wasnt down. At the end of the tour he let us loose in the gift shop and we all grabbed a bit of Cowboys merch and he promo'd the lot for us. Always had a soft spot for the Cowboys since then!

Anyway, the stadium is second to none and will be a worthy final venue!

Amazing!!  ;D
You cannot call overseas Liverpool supporters glory hunters. We’ve won one trophy this decade. If they’re glory hunters, they’re really bad ones. They’re actually journey hunters. It’s the journey and the story. Something about Liverpool has grabbed them." - Neil Atkinson (May, 2019)

Sadly, we never saw her again, but we had to wait in the staff lobby area by the gift store when we first arrived for him to come meet us and he came out the elevator with another absolute smokeshow he'd interview haha

We cope with it by staying inside with central A/C. Or being in a pool with a cold beer or a margarita.

Or by going to Colorado during the summer to get out of the summer hellhole that is Texas.  ;D

World Cup final to be played in the Metlife Stadium, New Jersey, which is an awful soulless dump.

Opening game to be held in the Azteca Stadium, Mexico City.

It's almost impossible to find on FIFA's website but the semis will be Dallas and Atlanta, and all 4 quarter-finals in the USA too: LA, Kansas, Miami and Boston.

@danielstorey
I'm not sure people realise how mad a 48-team, 104-match World Cup is going to be.

Between June 13 and June 27 2026, there will be 68 group games. That's almost a fifth of an entire Premier League season in 15 days.

We must be approaching a point where players finally make a stand? It's not only fatigue, they also have to travel across continents to play meaningless matches, which means even more time away from their families.

Most fans of big Clubs hate this comp.

Everyone else loves it.

Especially the players.
