Ok this makes more sense. I have no qualms with KC, I just wanted to understand the reasoning. Cincinnati would also make sense. They already host the Cincinnati Open in tennis and have the infrastructure for it.

I heard the FIFA officials didn't like FedEx field and the money it would take to get it ready for the WC just wasn't worth it, makes sense. And although Baltimore has the stadium to host a WC, the surrounding areas leave a lot to be desired.

Makes more sense now. It's a balancing act of tourism, soccer culture, infrastructure and logistics when selecting the host cities.

The map does really show why KC was picked. It is pretty much in the center of the country. It might not be the most exciting of the cities, but it has a soccer culture and the alternates to KC were probably Cincinnati or Denver. I'm almost surprised with the amount of games that the USMNT has been playing in the state of Ohio that Cinci wasn't picked.

I don't think Pogba is doing himself any favors with this documentary. Maybe the full documentary will make him look better but these excerpts are awful for him, I understand him being out of touch but people around him should know better.
I don’t care about this situation breh, I just saw a chance to shyt on Mourinho :pachaha:

Chelsea about to go to mid-table status with Todd Boehly as owner. Nikka already talking about "no more wild spending" :mjlol:

@SCORCH how u feel about that?

I'm gonna let the whole transfer window play out before passing comment. :hubie:

Chelsea keep wasting big fees and wages on average players anyway so I'm in no real rush to see them splash the cash.

If they don't sign a single player this summer but fix the recruitment processes for future windows that's a bigger win than just signing somebody for the sake of it.
