U.S. coach Mauricio Pochettino dismisses criticism of World Cup ticket prices by American winger Tim Weah. FIFA is charging up to $8,680 per ticket for the tournament, which runs from June 11 to July 19 in the U.S., Mexico, and Canada. Weah expressed disappointment, saying many real fans will miss matches. On Thursday, Pochettino responded during a Zoom news conference from Coral Gables, Florida. He emphasized that players should focus on playing football, not ticket prices. Pochettino stated that it’s FIFA’s responsibility to explain its decisions, and his job is to prepare the team for the tournament.
