It must be great having so much disposable income that you’re so out of touch with reality that you can book a trip to the states then post throwaway comments like ‘Its not been hard to organise and if yiu look hard enough its pretty affordable’ to those also looking to go but are less fortunate than yourself

Quit while your behind

Can't believe it - I agree

Do you just troll these boards looking for a reaction? 

You're a bit of a sad act who seems very angry at life. Cheer up, Don't know what's going on in your life but hope it picks up soon.

And my response was to Malcoim who said he wasn't going as he only would go if he basically had somebody wo wipe his arse whilst he's there.

It's not a cheap trip, however if you are willing to go for cheap accommodation not in city centre's/host cities then it's nowhere near as expensive as the press are making out. 

I;ll be making plenty sacrifices between now and June. 

Not sure why i'm even justifying myself to the resident attention seeking troll though.

You never ever bite though so you’re all good

Sound advice. I’ll take that on board and maybe this time next year I’ll be as condescending towards other posters financial plights

Cheers!

I'll say it again:

- extortionate pricing 

- shocking allocations 

- dynamic pricing bullsh*t

- FIFA allowing resales at any price and taking a cut

- not one football federation (including ours) speaking up

- no players speaking up

- FIFA making the rules up as they go (see Ronaldo)

- matchday experience likely to be awful

......I could go on. But it's clear the football world, players, ex players, football federation are laughing at us.

I really want to be excited by this tournament, and yes, I am tempted to book up. But I am a man of principle and I refuse to be bent over by FIFA.

Don't get me wrong, it is very conflicting and I understand why people are paying ludicrous amounts. I have a 14 yr old son, we've travelled following Scotland, we've shared amazingly memories in Germany, I'm fortunate that I can afford to go, and maybe he's probably expecting tickets in his Christmas stocking 🙈, but I just can't let myself do the morally wrong thingl. I'm sure he'll understand. We'll have a great time watching it in Scotland.

Maybe it's a parent thing, maybe it's getting old, maybe I'm just a grumpy b@stard, but how can I teach and preach to my kids about standing up for themselves and sticking to their guns if i go against everything I stand for.

Jeez. I appreciate this all sounds super philosophical, but it is what it is. I just wish everyone would stand up for themselves, as someone else said, if we tolerate this.....

100% this. I will go but it won't be on FIFA's terms. Stick to your principles.
