The World Cup is out of reach for many. The hope lies outside the stadiums | Leander Schaerlaeckens

Ugh, I'm not holding my breath ... think the "free" fan fests will actually be free? They'll probably just raise money for their own pockets and call it a "community outreach program". And don't even get me started on the "Road to '26" series - just another way to nickel and dime fans, charging them an arm and a leg for a bunch of pre-tournament games. Mark my words, it's gonna be a total rip-off

Man, I'm so down for this! I remember the good old days where we could just chill in public spaces with our squad, all hyped up for the World Cup match. It was like one big party, you know? And now, it seems like they're trying to make it more inclusive this time around.

I'm loving the idea of fan fests popping up all over the country – no need to break the bank or have a ticket just to join in on the fun. It's gonna be lit when Brazil and France are playing some friendly games along the East Coast! And can you imagine watching Argentina take on Honduras and Mexico without having to shell out thousands for a ticket? That's like, pure joy right there!

I do hope they keep it real though – no overpriced nonsense at those fan fests. We want everyone to be able to feel the World Cup vibes, not just the rich folks with deep pockets.
