I’m thankful for not being that wildly enthusiastic, as to pay USD$1000 per ticket, to watch Fifa World Cup this June 2026. Not to forget, there are hidden costs in air tickets, accommodations, food and transport to get around. I sympathize with football fans who are addicted, to pay that much to feed their obsession.
Here is a TToT inspired by Fifa World Cup 2026.
- Thanks for the practical suggestion to watch Fifa World Cup on TV.
- Thank you for the warnings that tickets will be grossly expensive, no matter when you want to buy them.
- Gratitude for the warnings that air ticket, hotel accommodations and food will be costly during the Fifa season.
- Thankfulness for thrifty people who are gossiping against purchasing tickets.
- Begrudging thanks to Fifa who has explained away their defence for the price of tickets.
- Thank you to the Canadian government in certain provinces, who have banned the resale of tickets above their original cost.
- I acknowledge Fifa’s thanks to football fans for contributing to their coffers.
- Illegal immigrants may be thanking the media for propaganda on the risks of attending live Fifa events, for obvious reasons.
- On the opposite spectrum, legal residents are pleased to be privileged to watch football sans worries of displacement.
- We join the US in their multiplied celebrations of their 250th anniversary of Independence AND hosting some of the World Cup matches.

This was part of last week’s item of thanks.
Before, when window handle was broken by a local Godzilla:
After, when handle was removed and a new handle screwed into old holes in the metal frame.

I wish concert tickets were also well thought out…
I am also thankful for sleep and the roof over my head.
See you again!
Thank you for reading.
I am thankful I will not be watching Fifa World Cup even on TV, but I hope all those who do have a wonderful time.
Thank you for your meaningful contribution.
I’m with you, going is out of the question. It’s wonderful to hear you are getting good sleep and the new window handle looks very sturdy.
I’m with Mimi: excellent Grat on the window handle repair. That, until it becomes the new normal, every time you look at the new handle you can enjoy it.
Now this next, Readers can blame Reelika (lol) I remember the first concert I attended. It was Jimi Hendrix. I saved up my allowance to pay the $3.50 (USD) for a ticket. (The concert was held in an indoor hockey rink. They put plywood over the ice and wooden folding chairs on that.
Have a good week
Inflation is a double edged sword. It works against us in some ways, while improved valuation of incoming flows benefit us. Thank you for reading and supporting the varied forms of TToT. I’m sure you’ll have a pleasant week, as per your norm.
Double value this week Cai! If only all the disputes in the world could be solved by squaring off national football teams…
Have a great week…
Thank you, Andrew.
