>knockout game
>stadium 90% empty

Why doesnt anybody care about the CWC? This is humiliating for everybody involved

FIFA still lives under the illusion that mutts will ever care about our sport

>>149538749
It would be that empty in Europe

>>149538807
No it wouldn't, even mickey mouse football tourneys in Europe fill stadiums

>>149538731 (OP)
Fluminense is a small club with like 300k supporters only

>Middle of the day on a monday
>Summer Audi cup
>700$ Tickets
>Streamed for free at home
Id say the turnout is rather impressive

>>149538731 (OP)
You can watch a full stadium today in Real Madrid's game

>>149538823
you forgot this
>the host is a foreigner hostile great satan

>>149538807
NFL and basketball games would be that empty in Europe, but not european football games.

>>149538837
NFL games and baseball games would be that empty in Europe, but not European football games.

Only Latinxes go to the games and obly to those that involve their teams. White Americans, if they still exist, don't know this tournament exists, and neither do most Europeans.

>>149538857
white americans don't care about football period, not just this tournament

>>149538860
To be fair those are average attendance numbers for Bayern of the time. The Olympiastadion was notoriously empty half of the time. Only during the 90s did stadiums become full again.

>>149538897

The average for that season was 33k for Bayern though.

>>149538815
For home teams, not neutral sites

Why are they playing at NFL stadiums instead of MLS stadiums

>>149538731 (OP)
no one cares about flu and inter, the other games were full

>>149538944
Stadium capacity was 80k so clearly not that much interest.

>>149538844
? ? ? ? ?
NFL games played in Germany or the UK are sold out every time.

>Why doesnt anybody care about the CWC?
America. They don't like football and that's their good right.
>>149538807
Entirely depends on the match-up.
Miami vs. the South African or Corean team? Probably 50% empty.
Any KO-stage match? Probably sold-out.

>>149538975
They hand out free tickets to entire school classes for those.

The setup is retarded. Two weeks ago my city was packed with Flamengo and ES Tunis fans and then Palmeiras plays Botafogo and there's like no one there then I realize its completely impossible to plan past the group stage. If you want to see your team you have to stay 2 weeks and then you have no idea what city they are playing in and it all depends on the result. You also have 3 days between group stage and knockout so you have no time to plan.

For instance if you're a Botafogo fan and want to watch the tournament its a 4 week commitment and during the 2nd week you have to guess if they are coming 1st or 2nd (Ignoring if they qualify at all). If they come 1st they are playing in Atlanta. If they come 2nd they are playing in Philadelphia. That is 800 (1.3k km) miles away from each other. If you're flying in for the knockouts then you can only book your flight 4 days out because you have no fucking clue where they are playing

Just bad scheduling. 3pm on a Monday in the middle of nowhere.

>>149538996
Not unless the game was in Milan

>>149538749
on the contrary, brown mutts are the only people who actually care about soccer in the rest of the world

>>149538971
Because FIFA wanted the big stadiums

>>149538897
here's the european cup semifinal, same year

Americans care only about National teams, their football clubs might as well not exist.

>>149539449
Not really

>>149539505
>Gold cup
the stadiums won't be empty in 26 just like in 94.

>>149539022
>That is 800 (1.3k km) miles away from each other.
Why not just plan for the matches to be concentrated in a smaller region closer to each other? Hell even Russia did it during the world cup in 2018
Why do you guys suck so much as hosts holy shit

>>149539540
Fifa is the ones running the tournament

>>149539540
To beb fair is there anything east past Kazan in Russia?

They Don't care

>>149539449
USA national team games often have pretty poor attendance depending on location. Unironcally the biggest draw in the USA for soccer are Mexico games in southwest+Texas which will easily fill up those NFL stadiums with chicanos

international tournaments should all be hosted in Europe, South America and some in Japan/Korea.

>>149538731 (OP)
apparently locals only show up for the last "quarter" rest of the time they eat processed food, and drink sodas

>>149538731 (OP)
The first question ICE/CBP asks suspected illegals is whether or not they like soccer. If you answer yes you get deported. This is common knowledge here

Game's gone lads.

Al Halal v FC Taco would be empty here as well on Monday at 15:00 when its +30c

the world cup there will be an embarrassment they might have to pay saaaaars to fill the stadiums like they did in qatar

>>149542063
No tournament should be in Brazil

>>149542063
Too bad for you, they will be hosted only in the middle east/China/USA for the foreseeable future

>>149539006
sure, Mahmed

>>149538731 (OP)
Their biggest audience in the US would be deported if they showed up.
