Close to the stadium, but a long way from the World Cup due to ICE and sky-high prices
From Francisco Sosa’s front yard, you can see the imposing metal structure of the SoFi stadium in Los Angeles, California. Eight FIFA World Cup matches will be played on that pitch, but its proximity is irrelevant as far as Sosa is concerned; he is already resigned to watching the games of the most expensive tournament in history on TV. “There’s no money right now,” says the 41-year-old U.S. citizen who is a fervent supporter of the Mexican national team. When he learned that a luxury box for the match between the United States and Paraguay was selling for $112,500, his reaction was immediate: “Fuck! It’s too much.”
