Instead of an expanded world cup, can we just have Scotland playing Greece every day for a month?

Just had an email excitedly telling me there were now some tickets available for the NBA game in London next year. Checked and the cheapest is £90, with most others at least £160 and upwards. I guess I won't be going then

$7,000 for a cat. A ticket for the WC final. Over seven times what it cost for a similar ticket at the Euro 2024 final, almost five times what was charged at Qatar 2022. Too much is never enough for Gianni Infantino.
Another price increase for the 2026 World Cup…
Sensing strong demand, FIFA raised the cost of many tickets to record-setting heights — the first large-scale implementation of its “variable pricing” strategy.

Another midweek game at the Dripping Pan tonight. Good to get a quick chance to keep the ball rolling. Another win would put Lewes on the cusp of the playoff spots

Caught the end of the Phoenix game. They really need to be able to see off a team down to nine men. But it's so good there's a NZ derby now (even if the Nix can't seem to win it)

Also: when the Premier League is bad, it is absolutely miserable. Egos and bullshit, crap football and terrible refereeing. It’s as unwatchable as Spurs were this evening.
