USA loses 2-1 in the Gold Cup final to Mexico. The better side won. All 3 goals were CRACKERS.

Mexico’s 16 year old was deluxe.

I assume Pele had more than 31 goals and 43 assists by 17...no?

yes, way more, just that year he turned 18 he scored 58 goals for club, plus 44 goals the previous seasons

when he won the World Cup at 17 he had tally 25 goals with the national team

he started playing at 15, assist weren't tally back then at the club level

so to follow that graphic Pele 145 Games, 127 goals, 10 assist (in the 1958 World Cup alone)

Register interest today!

I did this about 10 months ago and it’s been pretty useless so far.

All ticket information I’ve learned has come from different ways but not me registering my interest

Tickets go on sale this week to Visa Cardholders but you can’t purchase tickets to see a specific country play (WC qualifiers aren’t even completed yet for some countries).

It’s been wonky.

For Visa presale lotto i see this:

Timing of a fan’s entry into the Visa Presale Draw during the entry period will not impact the fan’s chances of success. After a randomised selection process, successful applicants will be notified via email starting from 29 September, and will be given a date and time slot to purchase tickets (subject to availability), with time slots starting from 1 October. A successful draw application does not guarantee that tickets will be available for purchase during the time slot. When ticket sales start, single match tickets to all 104 matches will be made available. Additionally, venue-specific tickets and team-specific tickets will also be made available.

So maybe you will be able to select team/venue?

In theory, in practice it will be the World Cup of legalize bot scalpers like only America can do and expect $500+ tickets for any match worth a damn, like it happened this summer with the Club World Cup

I’m just crossing my fingers (dreaming maybe) I can get 3 upper level tickets to a USMNT match for $600 total after fees and same for Italy.

You have many days to enter. Just come back at odd hours not when it first opens?

I pay no mind to scalpers trying to get one over on soccer fans wanting to attend their first World Cup (and their children’s first WC). It is what it is 🤷‍♂️. Publix, Ticketmaster yada yada the game of life is rigged I’ll just pay what I gotta pay.
