I've found getting in and out of US and Canada easy enough with the right visa which lasts for 2 years once you apply.. Maybe you're a criminal?
It is expensive though currently, But 2026 is a few years away yet. US was cheap 10 years ago.

Good points but don’t think the first 2 come into it. Many who follow England away do so win or lose and others who do the tournos go for the whole occasion. I think the British media have a lot to answer for with their Russian hooligan overhyped stories personally.

mate .....it was on the news , i'm talking about ozzies travelling from oz......bought tickets were granted visas then had them cancelled 3 days before they were supposed to fly out , it got sorted out eventually
You don't need a visa though do you?
Eh ? Only awkward if you've got a criminal record. If coming from the UK with a UK passport you apply online for an ESTA which takes about 5 minutes and lasts 2 years (think it's $14). A lot of the larger airports now have e-gates for entry, so immigration queues are much, much shorter than they used to be. It's no big deal at all now.

Monumentally flattened that I didn't go. Russia looks like a really interesting country. That said, as much as I'd love to follow England everywhere, I dunno how people do it

And then it's coming home, again, in 2030! Sepp Blatter says so!
As a bonus, Blatter will almost certainly be dead by then.
The European nations have supplied low numbers at games, few French and Belgium today. A fear of violence and lack of hotels in almost all the cities were mentioned as key reasons.
In contrast, football means more to South Americans than anything else. Even families with modest income have spent 4 years saving for this.

Cost of living so much cheaper to. And let's face it, always 'deals' to be done for those extra treats like a World Cup trip.

He included Mexico in his post, which causes problems. Will Iran be allowed to play if they qualify?

Don’t know about Iran. Post was about English fans and the lack of them at this World Cup so far. I’ve been to Mexico too, was again very easy.

Trump has passed a law banning any Iranians and other similar nationalities every entering the USA. They qualified for this world cup.

Travelling tourists at a World Cup get the right visa's and don't climb over walls, they go to airports and get on planes.
The risk of Illegal immigrants will never go away, that's business as usual to Trump. Plus he won't be in charge come then anyway.
