New York and New Jersey have cut the price of official World Cup bus service to games, turning a transport complaint into one of the day's clearest fan-access stories. According to the linked Athletic report, the host committee slashed bus fares after backlash over how expensive it would be to reach the stadium.
Bosnia and Herzegovina have posted a 2026 World Cup squad, and the reaction is stronger and more optimistic than you might expect from what started as an image-only squad post. The squad graphic is the whole source item, but the comments quickly turn it into a real debate about whether Bosnia can do more than just make up the numbers.
A hypothetical thread about the 2031 Women's World Cup asks whether Costa Rica and Jamaica should host only the opening matches before the tournament shifts to Mexico and the United States for the rest. The post is explicit speculation, borrowing the 2030 men's centenary model and arguing that a split format could still give smaller hosts a moment in the spotlight.
That's it for today.
