Prices 10 times those promised in initial bidFifa not expected to change policy for 2026The Football Association will pass on England supporters’ concerns about high 2026 World Cup ticket prices to Fifa.

Which, let’s face it, really piss around with your bottom line.But for a while now, that view has seemed ridiculously naive, a bit like assuming Recep Erdoğan followed Vladimir Putin’s election-hollowing gameplan just because hey, he’s an interested guy who likes to read around a lot of subjects.
