Fans crushed Stu Holden for shamelessly promoting World Cup luxury packages

The disconnect is everything that's wrong about this World Cup.
We're just 65 days from the 2026 World Cup in the U. S. , Mexico and Canada.
And despite being billed as the most accessible World Cup ever, it has proven to be anything but that. FIFA has seen the U. S.
hosting an expanded World Cup as an opportunity to turn the tournament into a money-making machine. The reality? Fans have largely been priced out from tickets, and the phased ticket release has been marred with issues.
So, instead of advocating for U. S. soccer fans, Stu Holden — the former USMNT midfielder who is the analyst on Fox's lead World Cup broadcast — instead took money from FIFA to flaunt that wealth disparity surrounding this World Cup.
