Is FIFA going to get the contract for the Mid terms election count?
Maybe this is a dry run, to test the system?😷
Empty seats? What empty seats?
During South Korea's game against Czechia in Guadalajara on Friday, plenty of onlookers noticed the many empty seats littered throughout the crowd. Those same onlookers might have been surprised when the official attendance was announced to be 44,985, less than 1,000 shy of capacity.

Confused? Never fear, FIFA had the answer.
"Official attendance figures reflect the number of tickets scanned and spectators present within the stadium footprint, rather than visual assessments of seating occupancy at any given moment during the match," FIFA said.
"Please note that, during last night's match in Guadalajara, several ticketed fans could be seen standing in concourses rather than staying in their assigned seats throughout the match."
There you go, they were all in the concourses. Nothing to see here.
