Do people you think it is a terrible risk to book flights on the understanding that we top the group if we wanted to go out for a knockout game. Or should you really wait to do that and risk hefty increases?  

I'm really torn on what to do.  

I wouldn’t want to do that myself. Round 2 is in Toronto or Atlanta.. miles apart and a 500-600 quid return flight if you had to change destination. 

Very possible we don’t come top. 

If you definitively want to go to an England game I’d leave it til the time and try and be all set to react to flights you have eyed up depending on how things go. Pretty confident that would end up less than committing to the wrong city, and almost certainly be less hassle 

Disagree there, we will walk that group 

Im not saying we won’t but would you risk a grand on it to get sat 1500 quid back?

croatia are a good side and beat France in March of this year. They’re ranked 10th in the world. We drew in the group last year with Slovenia and Denmark. 

It’s very very plausible that Croatia could finish above us so it would be madly naive, especially for anyone with understanding off England football teams fortunes over many decades, to simply assume we will finish top

A friend of a friend was stopped from entering the USA a few months back as he gave them his Twitter handle and Insta account and there was anti Trump messages on them.  Nothing threatening or illegal, simply his political views.
I would be very mindful of your social media accounts comments before committing many £'s to travelling out there.

Land of the free..

Not with Trump in charge. I'm seeing lots of people who say that they won't risk travelling to the USA.

I've heard similar.

I think the questions are a bit like the old entry form, where you had to confess if you were a drug lord or a member of a terrorist organisation.

I mean, how will they link your handle to your identity if you said you didn't have any social media accounts of note?

If they could, what would be the point of asking you?

Last time I went there was a couple of questions about have you been a member of the Nazi party or have you committed an act of moral terpitude.

Five million requests for 2026 World Cup tickets have been made since the latest ticketing phase opened on Thursday, says Fifa - despite growing criticism over their cost.

Football's world governing body says fans from more than 200 countries have asked for tickets, with the group match between Colombia and Portugal in Miami on 27 June the most sought after.

Wont help the FA's appeal to FIFA to rethink the ticket prices - Wonder how many of those will be touters, with the plan to sell on for even more

You have to answer yes to both to gain entry.

Did Rio get an 18 month ban for missing drug test? 

Would he had to have declared that on his ESTA?

Just done my ticket application. A handful group games and the knockout games up to quarters that might include England (if they win the group). Fingers crossed.

We must meet up if we cross paths in the same city Callum!
