People may dislike @AlexiLalas, but he’s doing more for domestic Spanish language fluency than anyone in American history.

My picture quality for Game 5 is baaaaad. Wasn’t this bad for game 4. Can’t use the ESPN app because YouTubeTV is still working on the authentication.
Every other game on TV right now looks better. I think most of that is on my local Sinclair affiliate but still not great!

I got a call from a family friend this week telling me they knew someone working with FIFA, and they got an email saying "any family and friends can get tickets for any games, but they have to pay face value."
That's the thing. Nobody wants the inflated face value tickets.

FIFA has controlled ticket inventory leading up to the World Cup, releasing new batches at certain points and then (as it looks from the chart) pulling back tickets at other times
FIFA still has ~25K unsold tickets. It's now giving thousands of them out for free. Story below ⬇️
