Last 32 in LA, last 16 in Houston.

Was only because they didn't win their group. Would have stayed at home if they did.

A host playing a game at their national stadium is cheating? You hysterical tart 😂 Maybe the South American aides should campaign to stop Bolivia being allowed to play at home in qualifiers.

I agree with having too many hosts but I see nothing wrong with them playing KO matches at their main ground if they win their group. They did play one of their group games at a different ground too same as Canada did. The real disgrace is that this will be the last game played at the Azteca as far as I'm concerned. Btw England played every game in '66 and '96 at Wembley, also every game played in England in 2021. So we've never played a major tournament game in England which wasn't at Wembley.

It's a disgrace that a host nation gets home advantage?

I'm pretty sure the players had some devices installed at home months back which can help. Not sure how much difference it'll make though.

Membership sales normally open up later in the summer don't they?

Pretty sure the bubble is cheaper than a normal game. They'd still use the helicopter etc for a normal game.

Unless you prefer to watch games in person than on TV of course.

Boycott it and watch in a pub in Southsea instead.

Engineering works between Southampton and London the day of the Watford game. Start as we mean to go on 😂

Won't play the skates that early. They like to avoid local derbies for team's first home games.

Might be right actually, I thought some grounds (excluding Spurs did it throughout season. Off top of my head was thinking Simpson fighting at Oakwell was during last season but was actually June. Doesn't feel like over a year ago.

Good win for both our lads, should hopefully set up a bigger fight for Garner at St Mary's later this year. Would love to see him in with Cacace. Edmondson a decent domestic level fighter but it's a shame he's a bit of a feather fist as he's in a really casual friendly division but his fights are generally quite dull.

Crowd even lower than I thought it'd be. Looks like the entire chapel half of the ground has seats covered and the corners at other end too.
