Bob’s (Soccer) Bits: A Credit Card, a Scalping Plan, and a Trip to Texas
Description
When Canada advanced further than anyone expected, one family decided the only response was to follow the team to Houston, no matter what it took to get there. The plan: resell tickets to a USA match in Seattle, lean on Mom's credit card for the upfront cost, and hope it all balances out before Saturday's round of sixteen game against Morocco.
This is less a soccer recap than a story about the lengths people go to for a memory worth keeping, told through a trip that includes a baseball game, a FIFA Fan Fest, and a fourteen-year-old who may remember this longer than anyone else involved. Listeners get the full play-by-play of the logistics, the financing, and the odds against Morocco.
Topics: Canada Morocco, World Cup family trip, ticket resale, Houston, soccer fandom
