Thank God. I can’t think how a World Cup final in Dallas would’ve been a positive representation of the World Cup final

Arlington does get to host around 9 games though. That is still huge
The central location and massive airport helps

Let me tell you there is a large sucking sound coming out of Dallas. They literally had a watch party during the announcement, aired it live, and held a press conference in anticipation of getting the final.

Meanwhile Houston was outflanked by KC for a Quarterfinal game. Seattle seemed to get shafted too.

You can come celebrate the 250th anniversary of America in Philadelphia on July 4th with the world cup taking place that day! Pretty awesome with the MLB All-Star/Home Run Derby happening several days later.

As it should be.

Does this mean Philadelphia and Boston may host the semi-finals? A big deal for them if so. (judging by where the final game is).
Semis are in Dallas and Atlanta

True. But KC has only 3 games compared to Houston’s 7. Overall Houston got the better deal than KC. Better to have 6 games and a round of 16 than 2 games and a quarter final. Once you get below the semis, the difference between the rest of the knockout stage isn’t too bad.


I do wonder why Dallas was fake announced TWICE (for those who remember the first announcement) as host of the final game

That sounds like quite a celebration. I need to start making plans to go.

Yeah, I don't think Houston got outflanked by KC. Houston got more games than SF and Philly and just as many as Miami and Boston.

If anything SF got the shorter end of the stick with only 5 group state games and a 1 of 32.
