What a score!

Mayor Adams teamed up with New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy early Monday to tout the huge economic boost expected from netting the next soccer World Cup Final for MetLife Stadium.

“This is a big win for all New Yorkers,” Adams told Fox 5 New York Monday morning of the giant win.

While the stadium is just across the Hudson in the Garden State, the 2026 tournament is projected to generate over $2 billion for the region.

It is also expected to create at least 14,000 jobs as about a million people are expected to hit the region for the finals, as well as seven earlier games in the competition which happens once every four years.

Jerry Jones is disappointed because he wanted Jerry World to host the Finals.

Isn’t the DFW area safer than NYC? Besides, if they keep shipping out the ‘migrants’, they’ll have the hotel rooms.

Lots of fresh victims for the illegals to rob. And where the heck are spectators going to stay?

The foreigners can watch their favorite kickball dive-on-the-ground-like-a-drama-queen players from other countries eliminate the United States quickly.

It is also expected to create at least 14,000 jobs. Temporary jobs at best.

Okay just “what kind of jobs” will be created? I assume just like the Democrat Convention and the annual WEF confab, the only jobs “created” will be in the sex trade. Jobs based on a hourly rate.

The last thing we need is for the world’s elite, aka perverts, descending on this country.

Way to go NY & NJ.

GOOD question-—Current hotel occupancy is all invaders.

TB? Bedbugs? Scabies? Fleas? Fentanyl residue?

I have no idea, of course, and no information to suggest their presence, however might it be comforting to NY visitors to know from qualified health authorities that any previously occupied hotel rooms are squeaky clean and carry no health threats?

the world cup will be in June and July.

So all of those illegals can be safely moved to on-the-street or in-a-park residences

Won’t be such a “big win” for all the tourists who are robbed, beaten, and killed.

When the World Cup came to the US in 1994, five games (four from the first round, one from the second round) were held in Orlando, FL, the city where I lived at the time. I don’t remember any long-term effect from the games there. In fact, I don’t think they got more attention than the Orlando Magic normally gets. That was when Shaquille O’Neal and Penny Hardaway were on the Magic team, after all.
