Will Infantino admit this competition was a mistake?

What is his endgame

>>149527334 (OP)
They are just forcing tournaments at the USA, a city like Charlotte has not many italians or brazilians so of course it wont draw attention. America has the structure for such tournaments but not fans

>>149527334 (OP)
it's just terrible scheduling mostly

>>149527358
in Charlotte of all cities

>The match was played in front of a crowd of just 20,030 in the final match at the 74,867-capacity Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte.

>>149527334 (OP)

who would have thought all those Brazilians and Italians in Charlotte North Carolina wouldn't turn out on a Monday afternoon

>>149527387
Yeah. LA, Jersey and Miami had better average attendances so far.

Yes probably, but also I think we might have finally hit the point of over saturation where people are geniuenly starting to lose interest. From a personal perspective I haven’t even bothered looking up highlights from this shit, and it’s not like I’m trying to avoid it - I simply do not care, and I have to be reminded by the news that this thing is going on.

It’s been predicted for a long time, but I think we might be finally seing the decline of football, annoyingly predictable that it happened at the hands of pure unadulterated greed.

Its the same times that world cup games will be on and they'll sell out surely

This is a still from the Toxic Avenger remake, right?

He's a greedy retard who chose the US for the burgerbucks but he overestimated the interest of the gringos for this sport. It should've been played in Europe.

>>149527682
seeing how cheap the tickets are it could have been in south america

>>149527682
To be fair it wasn't an absolutely terrible idea because it's working as a nice practice for the real WC next year. Everyone can be prepared for the bullshit weather delays now.

>>149528369
teams will not want to play in america, mexico or canada here we go

>>149527381
It also doesn't really work because after the group stage you don't know where your team is playing and the US is huge. How are you supposed to plan it. Not to mention its expensive to spend weeks here especially with Brazil bucks

>>149527334 (OP)
Never. Football executives are basically politicians but dumber and more corrupt. If you asked him, he would say that he has never made a mistake in his life.

>>149527383
not really, they want the european televised audience

>>149527334 (OP)
Charlotte has a nice racetrack.
Hmmm I'm gonna hop in iRacing again later tonight.

>>149527334 (OP)
Yes its a mickey mouse tournament that doesn't mean anything. Its rigged for south American shitters

>>149527682
Unfathomably based mexibro

>>149527334 (OP)
the tournament isn't a bad idea but hosting in a nation where people prefer to watch half time show over sports isn't a very good idea.

>the tournament isn't a bad idea
6 of the last 8 are going to be euros
when the UCL starts in September it's going to feel so meh

>>149528611
If Fluminense and Inter played in your city (assuming you're not a tricolor) on the middle of the evening, would you leave work early and give FIFA R$250 (with the special emergency damage control discount) to watch the game?

Nobody cares about this mickey mouse cup except Brazilians fans apparently
