For those who had planned to attend a FIFA World Cup match in the United States, is anyone reconsidering whether it’s safe to travel to the US for the event??

    There will be games in Canada and Mexico too, consider going to those instead. The cup is in July, so due to height of summer I would be looking at Canada, personally.

    I’m seeing friends cancel vacation plans and work colleagues cancel work trips to the US and I don’t blame them. If I didn’t already live here, I wouldn’t be looking to travel to the US without really good reason, and a sport tournament would not be enough for me.

      Thanks for the response. I work in an area where the my bosses are frantically trying to “get ready” for the massive crowds anticipated for World Cup, and lately I’ve been wondering why anyone, much less a crowd, would be planning to travel to the US if they didn’t absolutely have to.
