Title: World Cup Travel
Post by: Pete on December 18, 2022, 09:25:57 PM
Planning on catching my first ever World Cup match in 4 years.  I will travel to KC for the game.

I plan to just pick a country who is playing there and then dress up like their biggest fan ever.

Let's get everyone to show up dressed for the same country and have a huge tailgate at Arrowhead.

If you go with France I would love to wear a beret and smoke cigarettes.

Have to sneak in a full baguette like that guy did in Qatar this year.

Yes.  Picture 20 or so of us with mime attire, cigarettes lit, hoisting baguettes, screaming "viva le france" as we march through the Truman sports complex parking lot.

I think we need to have a live ranking of all the potential participants over the next four years to decide who we root for (highest ranked KC participant)

This is going to be such a war in my building where short-term rentals have always been prohibited, but there's a handful of people who want that changed.

Pete it appears the market has shifted, I will pay you a $200 a week stipend to stay at my house in a nice king size bed with a nice dinner provided nightly.

Japan would be good. Would have to source a bunch of purple kimonos because we would probably want to reuse them if we ever play a football game in Japan again like we did against NU last century

Planning on catching my first ever World Cup match in 4 years.  I will travel to KC for the game.

I plan to just pick a country who is playing there and then dress up like their biggest fan ever.

First of all if you wait a whole 4 years, you'll miss the thing by about 5 months.

Second of all, this guy could give you lots of good ideas on how to be a fan:

What if France was playing Japan and we wore berets and then switched at halftime to kimonos?

No way the USA gets put in KC for the group stages.

I'm wondering about this as well. I don't plan on going to a WC game when whatever big named team they put in KC is playing but what about a Senegal vs Japan type game? Couple hundred bucks at most?

I was thinking about flying to KC because I expect it to be so much less than NYC tickets

I am hoping for a KC matchup that his that perfect mix of no one caring to pay much to see them, and options for me to dress up and not be called racist or culturally appropriating.

European colonialists would be best for me.

Yes! Definitely would be hard core in for France (generally support them outside of the US).

But really any team would be fun to pick and support for the hell of it in KC

I saw croatians wearing water polo caps which I would totally lean in to

If I were native american I would dress up in traditional native american attire and go to the spain match with a big sign that said "Thank you for the horses!"

Just soak up alot of that early summer MN sun and get really tan.

I'm pretty sure like 90% of "Indians" in all the western films of the 50's and 60's were just tan Italians.

Dress up like a native American and root for Italy.
