Not everyone follows anything, but more people follow soccer than anything else. Over 1.5 BILLION people watched the Final in 2022 on television, making it the most widely watched televised sporting event in history. In 2026, those numbers will be even bigger. It's a MASSIVE DEAL, and it's funny how many Americans don't understand this. BILLIONS of eyes will be on Seattle. Millions of fans from all over the world will fly into America for this tournament and bring all their passion and culture with them. Hopefully Seattle puts it's best foot forward.

Seattle doesn’t have a big homeless problem at the scale of SF or LA and the number of homeless people is going down for sure but I imagine it doesn’t take much for the city to clean them up. Should be pretty easy.

Good for Seattle. Just because there is a serious problem on the streets is insecurity because of all the homeless people who are drugged on the streets. That looks very horrible, especially in the city center.

Seattle just can't stop digging itself into a hole. Emmett Watson was right. It should be a Lesser Seattle campaign, not Greater Seattle. This self destruction by monied interest has been going on in earnest since the 1962 World's Fair. This was a lovely town at one time. We're going to be a blighted city.

They have two years to clean this city up. Better start now🤣. God damn!!! Break out the overtime now help and get some of the homeless people off the streets, and get those pressure washers and work trucks out ,and street sweepers, pick up all that garbage everywhere, guess the amazing graffiti is gonna have to be covered up here and there. But. Man oh man. The city of Seattle has a chance to clean up the city for a few good reasons now and try to keep it that way, One, it needs to done anyways. Long over due, and two the world cup now I guess so better start now. Flowers pots everywhere, hanging baskets, stores will comes back slowly. Police doing their jobs and making sure it's safe!!! and stuff for everyone.
