omg can u believe the FA is finally listening to fans about those ridiculous World Cup ticket prices?! like, it's only fair they do something about it, considering how pricey they are now we might have a chance at getting some decent tickets for the big game but fingers crossed lol

I think it's crazy how the FA is backing the fans' concerns about World Cup ticket prices . I mean, I get it, £2k+ for a ticket is outrageous, especially considering the average price of a house in England these days . But now that they're informing FIFA, maybe we'll see some change. Maybe they'll realize that fans aren't just cash cows .

It's also interesting to see Chelsea pushing hard for Kees Smit . I've been following his career and he seems like an awesome player. If they can get him signed, it could be a major boost for their team .

And what's up with Niclas Fullkrug? First, West Ham wants him to leave, then AC Milan swoops in . I hope he finds a club that wants him as much as the fans want to see him play ️.

The Premier League scrambling for new shirt sponsors is a thing now . Maybe they'll find some creative ways to make it work? Who knows, maybe we'll see some edgy designs or bold branding ️.

Oh, and lastly, Newcastle United fans are under investigation over vandalism . That's not cool at all. I hope the fans of that club can keep their passion in check .

I gotta wonder, what's the real cost of fandom? These fans are worried about ticket prices, but is it just about the Benjamins or is it about something deeper? Is it about feeling left out when your team's tickets are too pricey for you to afford? It's like, we're all human beings here, we've all been in that situation where we want to be there to support our teams, but life gets in the way. And now the FA is stepping in, backing us, it's like... okay, we got your back, but what about when we're not on the frontlines? What about when we need to talk about this stuff in real-life conversations?

OMG, can you believe the FA is supporting England fans' concerns about those super pricey 2026 World Cup tickets?! Like, seriously though, £500+ for a match-day ticket? That's insane! I'm all about supporting my favorite team but that price tag is just ridiculous. FIFA needs to step in and do some magic to make it more affordable for fans. Fingers crossed!

Can you believe it? The FA's just gonna feed the complaints of England fans about those World Cup ticket prices straight to FIFA's ears . I mean, what's next? Are they gonna give us a special hearing and address our grievances personally? It's like they're trying to deflect responsibility from their own handling of the situation. Maybe if they spent more time negotiating with FIFA instead of just rubber-stamping fan complaints, we'd see some real change .

I'm not sure I buy the FA's plan to just pass on fans' complaints about World Cup ticket prices to FIFA . It seems like they're just giving up on trying to address the issue themselves, and that's a shame. The prices are already pretty steep, and if they can't do anything to help make them more affordable for regular fans... well, I guess it's back to the same old problem .
