    You say all the World Cup cities are seeing this kind of cancellation?

    Makenzie Wolters, a spokesperson for Visit KC, said FIFA’s cancellations were “abnormally large,” but similar to what other World Cup host cities experienced in the lead up to the tournament that kicks off on Thursday.

      Yup, same thing here in Vancouver. Something about driving up demand. Completely ridiculous. It’s like they want it to fail and for the host cities to suffer.

        Almost as if FIFA was a money laundering scheme masquerading as a sports organization this whole time!
