    16 locations? I was gonna ask how both canada and mexico could be hotel options. Thats nuts. I mean I remember it being done in a single city in the past. Is it that much bigger than before?

      It isn’t big in North America – but yea, 16 different cities, from coast to coast, and from Canada down to central Mexico.

      The total number of matches has increased – Qatar had like 64 matches, this time its around 100. Each venue seems to be hosting like 5-9 games. So it’s basically gone from 64 matches in a concentrated area, to… this clown show.

        you know what I guess I was just ignorant of how it was coast to coast before. My city had one of the venues and I thought the whole world cup took place in the area. (just looked it up). so I guess having the matches all over the place is not that unusual.
