The shit tournament needs its own thread, even if it’s just for estimates of how many dozens of fans are at each match.

USMNT 🇺🇸 beat the crap out of Trinidad & Tobago 🇹🇹 5-0 and T&T was such trash that even Max Arfsten looked like a solid player who was dangerous in the final third. And we know that Arfsten is pure trash against solid opponents. Also, the stadium was about half full at most.

México 🇲🇽 started off the tournament beating the baseball loving half of the island of Hispanola (a.k.a. “La República Dominicana”) 🇩🇴 3-2, I believe, in a half empty SoFi stadium.

The last game to mention (because I forgot the other one) was Costa Rica’s 🇨🇷 death knell escape of Suriname 🇸🇷 (which is the Dutch answer to Jamaica 🇯🇲 in CONCACAF) with a PK before the final whistle.

This match was played in San Diego in front of dozens, if not hundreds of people. The numbers for the match will not be reported honestly, but I would estimate fewer that 2,000 people were in the stands. They could have used on person to sell concessions in the aisles for the entire stadium. 

This event should be a U-20 event played in 2-3 stadiums in one town. It wouldn’t matter if they were high school stadiums. Either that, or it is time to take this tournament out of the USA. Seth Meyers would have this to say about the Gold Cup, if he knew that it existed.

So now we have a thread to discuss the most worthless international tournament in world ️.

And don’t forget to estimate attendance for the matches you choose to mock.

Honestly, if they switched this tournament to every 4 years like Europe and South America, it would be a way better event. Yes, there still wouldn't be great teams, but everyone would be sending their A squads. Instead, we do it every 2 and they charge stupidly high ticket prices.

Just a select few tickets left for Thursday's US vs Saudi game at Q2...

If they drop another 50%, I might be interested.

If they pay me to go to the game, I might be interested.

any idea what the face value of tickets was?   Curious how much of the price is manipulated by the human leeches known as ticket scalpers/brokers.

Jerry World for Sunday looks even worse. I’m going but am not buying tickets until the day of.  I’m hoping to get midfield seats for less than $100.

Honestly if you find a pair at a good price and need a 2nd let me know I might be down.

Well... so much for tickets becoming more affordable as game day approached. Looks like half the seats in the stadium are still available and the cheapest ticket into the place is still $92 on seat geek. Prices haven't really budged at all, so I'm wondering if this is the US soccer federation being too proud to sell tickets for a USMNT game for $25? I would willingly pay a higher price to watch our A team guys, but they can get fucked if they think its worth $100 to watch these slapdicks in a heat index that will be around 100 at kick. Stadium is gonna look like shit with all those empty seats.

Does concacaf control ticket prices for the gold cup when US plays? 

When I volunteered at previous Gold Cups with a US game, we only dealt with concacaf staff for the game. 

There was no US official presence involved except as part of the team group.

I would probably pay that to see Pulisic and some other A teamers. 

I might pay that to watch Austin play a playoff game or other big game. 

I'm not paying that to watch Agyameng play striker.

Get in price is $92.   Ridiculous.   Should be half that.

Seeing some weird price action for the next game in Arlington so I ended up buying. Got lower bowl right next to midfield for $109 per ticket. Not bad.
