Would you consider going to the World Cup?

[Bunkermagnet]

If you had the chance, the money or the tickets, would you still go to this years World Cup or not?

Personally, I wouldn't nor holiday there now.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

I've never been tempted by any football tournament and this one is even less enticing.

If someone offered me all expenses paid to some of the games in Canada, that might change my mind. Not the other locations.

 

[Imurg]

I'm not sure there's enough money in the world to make me go...

 

[jim8flog]

Not for me

Match of the Day is all the football I need.

 

[Pin-seeker]

No

[Voyager EMH]

Imperial Command Executioners have rather put me off the idea of recreational travel to the USA.

But I'm hopeful of a change in the near future.

 

[Arthur Wedge]

Not in the US

Was lucky enough to steward all the games at Wembley for Euro 96

It was a great atmosphere

A bunch of mates went to the WC in Brazil and the experience was amazing

World Cup no as reported travel restrictions could be grief. Holidays from 2027 then no problem.

 

[Sid Rixon IV]

Did East to West just pre 2000.
Loved it. Lovely service attitude and friendly people (bar a NY Times Square camera shop where staff got aggressive about my refusal to get mugged for a lens cap).
Twice since, more recent times planned to do the Deep South tour but couldn't condone supporting the regime.

No intention to set foot in the USA again.

No intention to set foot in the USA again.

Pretty much me but I’m hoping things do improve over there in the coming years so we could make a trip over in the future

We are hoping also - in time but 100% not now - so no to the WC. We’ve already had our ‘big’ holiday for the year, though if ticket for a match in Canada or Mexico became available I might.

My wife may be going with a few girl friends later this year as one of their group is a English expat married to a New Yorker -she has a significant birthday; lives up the Hudson and also has a house in North Carolina. If the plan is to meet up at their NC home then one of the girls (of Ghanian heritage) has said she 100% will not go - and that could scupper the plan…all go or none go.

 

[BrianM]

I know a few people going, flights and accommodation paid for already, just match tickets to get.
But goodness knows the next time Scotland will get to a World Cup

 

[Red devil]

No intention to set foot in the USA again.

Me neither

 

[BubbaP]

The OP was pretty broad.
Say an unexpected competition win was on the table - all in.

Despite reservations, I think I'd be looking at the locations and itinerary and would be considering it.

Think my nephew is going…he’s in the TA.

 

[Lucifer MorningStar]

I’d rather crap in my hands and clap! No chance of me going to it even if I could afford it. Nor do I have any interest of going to USA in general.

 

[kp17]

If moneys no option it would be better than work so I’d go yeah.
But in real life I’ve not much interest in international football.
Would need to be private jet though a flight to america with a couple hundred drunk tartan army I can think of nothing worse.

 

[Backache]

I enjoy going to football games but a long time since I've been to an international.
This tournament set up is not enticing.
