Tickets to the Super Bowl often fetch $3500 or more. I don't think we're that wrong.

I dread to think what World Cup Final tickets will fetch on the black market. I do know that it'll attract a bigger TV audience than the Super Bowl.

The application stage referred to above was for 'blind' applications. The qualifiers aren't known yet so the only choices were to apply for tickets for an unknown game (ie Match 12 at x venue on y date) or to apply for a 'team book' of tickets for all matches involving a particular country, assuming they qualify. Many people will wait for the later application stages before trying to buy tickets.

A TV behind me at the card room had an english club soccer game on it. At one point I looked up and saw on the CC "soandso has only had 17 points scored against them in the past 34 games" or something close.

W-T-F?

Seriously.

Most of the world doesn't bathe regularly or brush their teeth (no offense Bruiser). Just because they don't, doesn't mean I shouldn't. Just because "most of the world" does something doesn't means it's not stupid.
