Free kick Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 (edited) Just false info I think. Or wishful thinking. We know from looking at the proposed match schedule that 5 and 5 is possible. But under what scenario is 6 and 4 even possible? answer is none. Unless you include quarter final games and we know we are not getting quarter finals games because we don't have stadiums with the seating capacity required for 1/4 final matches.

theaub Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 The real shame of this is that I personally will be in meetings all afternoon and won't get to see the glorious Twitter melties as they happen. Anyways, 6/4 makes sense IMO if the one with 4 gets the opener and the R16. Although per the match schedule I can't see them having matches in B2B days in Vancouver if they were to become Can2+3. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess that means extra American cities will/would be about adjusting from 6 × 10 to something like 5 × 6 + 6 × 5 or 12 × 5. TGAA_Star 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGAA_Star Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 I think if Vancouver gets 6 games and Toronto gets 4 games, I honestly won't even mind and I am a Torontonian myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrstepp817 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 I think the big question is which LA stadium gets used....SoFi is unreal but they are going to have to do some renovations to get the field wide enough....Rose Bowl is massive (over 90k) and is a gorgeous venue in its own right, but doesnt have the luxury boxes etc....I honestly kind of would prefer the Rose Bowl...... gigi riva 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RS Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 SoFi isn't build to FIFA specifications, which was a ridiculous oversight. Same goes for Allegiant Stadium in Vegas. Incredible stadium that would be perfect for 2026, and it's in freaking Las Vegas, but they didn't bother to make it fully capable of hosting WC games.

Not sure about SoFi, but wasn’t Allegiant used in the Gold Cup final last year? I realize that’s not the be all, end all, but what are the shortcomings here?

Or is a more narrow field ok for CONCACAF? I know Vegas pulled out of the mix pretty early because they didnt feel the R.O.I. would benefit them...and it makes sense..their hotels are full all the time, people flock to Vegas so they dont need to cave to FIFA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gigi riva Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Me and friends are planning on going to 3 WC games one in each country. I think Canada will get 10 games 6 in Van City and 4 in Toronto and I am okay with that . I think Edmonton gets shut out because of Geograghy it is just to far from every where else . All of Canada's games will be in the opening round . I think the Knockout stages will be played only in the American cities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzie_the_parrot Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Worth checking out the proposed schedule at the top of the page. Canada was supposed to have two round of 32 games and a round of 16 game. Suspect that will still be the case because they were not planning on having more than 4 group stage games in any of the venues. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xabuep2 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 I think I'm one of the few who wants Edmonton to be selected. Hope is the last thing you lose. According to the initial agreement there would be 3 Mexican cities and 3 Canadian ones, it was the pretext for making the Joint Bid. I simply do not conceive that a Joint Bid of three countries, one of the countries has only two venues. Canada deserves more.
