Remember when everyone said FIFA 2026 was going to have every hotel room booked, every flight sold out, and people sleeping in their cars for $1,000 a night?
Yeah... about that. 😅
Turns out fans looked at the ticket prices, hotel rates, airfare, visa requirements, and inflation and collectively said, "I'll just watch it on TV."
Hotels are lowering expectations, tourism forecasts are cooling off, and the economic boom many predicted seems to be getting its own red card.
Good news though: Houston traffic may only be terrible instead of apocalyptic.
Who's still planning to attend? Or are you joining Team Couch & Remote Control? ⚽🍿
