Full schedule is out. Some heavy kickoff times for Europeans. For you interested, these are the Houston games: June 14: Germany/Curacao June 17: Portugal/IC Path 1 Winner June 20: Netherlands/UEFA Path B Winner June 23: Portugal/Uzbekistan June 26: Cape Verde/Saudi Arabia ... plus one Ro32 and one Ro16 game.
If I go to any of those, it'll probably be the Portugal or Netherlands games. I'd like to see Germany in person but not against an amateur junior varsity squad. Maybe the tickets for Cape Verde/Saudi will be cheap. Might go to Dallas with my Brit friends to see England/Croatia.
Hope the temperatures in Houston will be somewhat humane, at least we got lucky regarding the opponent. Our other group games are in Toronto and New Jersey. Dallas got way more lucky than you guys. Netherlands-Japan England-Croatia Argentina-Austria Japan-UKR/POL/SWE/ALB Argentina-Jordan
I would rather see Messi but he has played like 5 times at NRG Hard to get super fired up about such a water downed tournament until knock outs
No idea what the stadium is all about, just remember some unacceptable conditions during the Club World Cup this summer and realised my guys will have to play around noon local time... so I guess no reason to worry?
Roof will most certainly be closed. I’m more concerned about the pitches. It was baaaaad for the Copa America…trying to lay grass over turf. That was apparently COMNEBOL’s doing and FIFA has full control of them for this. But my confidence levels in FIFA are nonexistent.
Of course they had to add a quarter break. We all now what's gonna happen in those three minutes. Losing the game we love.
Houston has the largest avg hotel price increase of any host city: 457% (for comparison, Dallas 174%)
