Haven’t seen a thread for this. It’s been a long time since I’ve been in town, and I’m going with my brother. He’s an avid FIFA fan, and he wants to go to these events while we’re there but I want to find me time too or even just other cool places to check out. Anyone know what’s going on around those days that we could go to? I checked https://365thingsinhouston.com/things-to-do-weekend-houston-texas-june-4-7-2026/ and those days don’t seem like they’re live yet. I’m guessing there are are a lot of out of towners from here that are visiting too, not just me. What are y’all’s plans? edit: this looks interesting https://feverup.com/m/145053?utm_source=fever_mcp&utm_medium=chat&utm_content=claude
There's about 3 threads for this. https://bbs.clutchfans.net/threads/usa-canada-mexico-win-fifa-world-cup-2026-bid.291717/ https://bbs.clutchfans.net/threads/usmnt-2023-2026.318607/ Ooops, sorry, only got 2
Is this my brother’s account lol. I dont care about the world cup, im just asking folks about things to do in town
I just saw that the last time the US hosted the World Cup was in 1994. I can promise that NOBODY gave a **** about it then.
My friends got me to go to the first game last night at The Phoenix (apparently there's only 2 places to go to watch soccer...) It's not like I've never watched before. I had to watch many of these games in college. It's just so lame. No Vuvuzuelas to be heard. What the hell is missing identity? I truly didn't realize when it was halftime or when it was over. It was always just a TV with a field that little people were running around on. I didn't notice when the players left. I still had a good time with my friends, but the folks that watch soccer are definitely not the same as the other sports. I now know what it feels like to be a girl that gets taken to a sportsgame.
World Cup LIVE: German fan cycles over 26,000 km to get to Houston arrested by ICE https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_...daily-germany-fan-cycles-26000-km-get-houston
I mean every game has more viewers than the superbowl. The final game has 6-8 times more views than a superbowl. Every game has had people outside the stadiums cheering before the game starts. People crying in the stands.
Where is this? Looks like somewhere in the Med Center? And who is Freddy and why is JJ putting him up in a suite? German soccer player? Sorry, not a FIFA guy.
