Chapter 643 The World Cup is approaching

If we say that the summer of 1990 in Italy was a flower blooming in the fertile soil of football.

So in 1994, the World Cup came to a country that was a football desert.

The United States is a major sports country and even a strong sports country, but when it comes to football, their football level is really disappointing.

In history, the United States has achieved good results in the World Cup. It won the third place in its first World Cup, but that was in 1930.

Compared with the present in 1994, it seems like a lifetime ago.

Many people may not know that Pele and Beckenbauer have both played for the football field of the United States. The United States hopes that this land can produce fertile soil for football.

Don't underestimate sports, it can drive huge consumer demand.

The United States has the most say in this regard. Basketball, baseball, football and other events have driven a lot of economic growth.

Football is one of the three major sports in the world, and its audience is unmatched by any other sport. The United States naturally hopes to cultivate a fertile soil for football.

This aspect was taken into consideration when applying to host the 1994 World Cup, and it was achieved.

The Major League Soccer, which is now well-known today, was established because of this World Cup, and it can be said that it took advantage of the momentum of the World Cup.

"Hey, Fatty, I just asked if there is a Dallas Cowboys game today. Do you want to go and experience it?"

"Ah? So sudden?"

The fat man was obviously tempted, but when he saw his wife and children standing beside him, he became hesitant.

"Go ahead, don't worry about us. Xiaojing and I have agreed that we will take the kids out for a walk after resting in the hotel for a while."

"That's right, you should go for a walk. We feel like you're a burden and we can't have fun with you around Lin Yi."

These two families are none other than Liu Bin and Cheng Wei, a pair of close friends.

The World Cup is about to begin. As this is the first time that the Hong Kong men's football team has participated in the World Cup, the support from the people of Hong Kong is unprecedented. Those who have the money and time to go to the scene to support will never stay at home.

As this was Hong Kong Island's first time participating in the World Cup, it had very few points and could only be placed in the fourth tier of teams, in Group C with Germany, Spain and Bolivia.

Their first game will be held at the Cotton Bowl Stadium in Dallas, so recently people from Hong Kong Island and many Chinese people from all over the world have gathered in Dallas.

"Let's go, we'll take you back to the hotel first."

When they were in their motherland, Cheng Wei and Liu Bin never thought that sports were anything special. But after coming to Hong Kong for so many years and getting to know more about various sports, they found that sports is the best place for a man to show his passion and vent his emotions.

Now that you are in Dallas, how can you not go to the home stadium of the Dallas Cowboys and watch the game that has the largest number of fans and the most attention in the United States?

"Let's go, let's rent a car first."

As a country on wheels, we can't move forward without a car.

Fortunately, the hotel provides car rental services, and they are linked with car rental companies, which is quite convenient.

The procedure was simple and quick, and Cheng Wei complained as he sat on the sofa in the lobby waiting.

“What kind of country on wheels? I think it’s just a self-consolation because public transportation is inconvenient.

Comparing like this, Hong Kong Island is better, at least it is much more convenient.

Everyone says that the United States is so great, but in my opinion, it is not as good as Hong Kong Island."

"If you make a comprehensive comparison, the United States is definitely better. It has a vast territory and abundant resources, which cannot be compared with Hong Kong Island.

But if you want to live in a city, Hong Kong Island is much better than the cities in the United States."

After glancing in the direction of the front desk, Liu Bin shook his head and continued.

"I can't believe that such a big city can be so chaotic. Even the front desk staff will specifically remind you not to go out at night.

This is unimaginable in Hong Kong Island, it is incredible."

"This is nothing. I heard that New York has a lot of slums, let alone Dallas."

While the two were chatting, the car arrived. After a simple handover, the two of them set off with the map.

"By the way, can we still get tickets if we go buy them now? I heard that the Cowboys' home games are always sold out."

"I've already inquired about it. Today's event is not a strong match, so there should be fewer spectators.

Even if there are no tickets, it doesn’t matter. We can find scalpers, it won’t cost much more.” Considering their current income, this amount of money is really nothing.

"There are still four days before the World Cup starts. Tomorrow there will be a Western Conference Finals between the Houston Rockets and Jordan's retirement season. Such a good opportunity cannot be missed."

The NBA has entered its final stages, with both the Eastern and Western Conferences having reached the conference finals.

In the Eastern Conference, the Knicks won the decisive battle 3:2 and are leading the Pacers by a large margin.

In the Western Conference, the Houston Rockets are leading the Jazz 3:1. All the media and fans predict that Houston will be able to defeat the Jazz cleanly in the next home game.

Of course, the game is important, but the reason why this year's NBA attracted the attention of the entire American audience is because of the man who announced that he would retire after this season.

History has changed, Jordan came to Houston, but what was supposed to come still came.

In the original history, the reason why Jordan retired was because the Bulls did not want to meet his super-expensive contract.

But Houston could give it, but Jordan didn't want it.

The reason is also ridiculous. The Bulls gave too little and Houston gave too much.

Whether it is team salary or sponsorship endorsements, Jordan earns more than anyone in history. Because of this, this guy wanted to develop in the golf industry and announced his retirement.

Despite the Houston management's strong persuasion, it was of no avail. Therefore, the attention to the NBA this season is unprecedented, and all fans want to witness the end of the game with their own eyes.

Since Houston won its first championship in the 86-87 season, a new dynasty comparable to the Celtics dynasty was established.

Horrible Houston, this is the nickname given to the current Rockets by all media people.

In six years, they have won five championships. If they win another this year, it will be six championships in seven years. The entire NBA is under the feet of the Houston people.

During these seven years, Jordan led the league with an average of 34.1 points per game and was called the God of Basketball.

So the God is leaving, and all the fans don't want to miss what may be the last time they watch him play live.

As for whether he will make a comeback, that is uncertain. After all, Jordan is not short of money now.

Of course, this is a win-win situation. Jordan has become the world's highest-earning athlete thanks to the Jordan brand in cooperation with Fila.

And Fila has become a giant basketball brand because of Jordan replacing Nike. It has now entered Europe and is targeting Adidas' football field.

It is not accurate to say that Fila has entered Europe. Fila's sales and popularity in Europe have always been top-notch, but not in the field of football but in sports such as tennis.

The new stadium of the Dallas Cowboys. When the two arrived, just as Cheng Wei had guessed, the tickets had been sold out.

But the two were not in a hurry, as ticket scalpers for this kind of competition must have a lot of tickets.

Sure enough, when the two of them just looked around to find something, someone came to sell something.

"Hey, do you want tickets? I have tickets for all seats and the prices are reasonable."

"how much is it?"

"Increase the price by 20%."

The price is reasonable, after all, it is not a ticket for an important game.

Just when Liu Bin was about to choose two better seats to pay, Cheng Wei stopped him.

"I think he will sell it if we bargain. The game starts in more than an hour and he has a lot of tickets."

Cheng Wei spoke in Cantonese. In his mind, spending money and being frugal are not contradictory.

"I think my price is reasonable, and there are a lot of people from Hong Kong Island coming to Dallas recently to watch the Cowboys game. I saw a lot of Asians today."

"That makes sense." Liu Bin nodded in agreement. He didn't want to get into any trouble over such trivial matters.

"Huh? You can speak Cantonese?" The two of them finally reacted.

“I’m a professional scalper, not only for football tickets but also for electronic products, and I go to Hong Kong Island quite often.

If you are willing, you can leave me your contact information. Next time I go to Hong Kong Island, I will invite you to visit Malan, just as we can make friends."

Damn, you even know about horse pens.

The two of them bought the tickets, but forgot about the contact information.
