ARLINGTON, Texas — There will be a time, in a few weeks after the final takes place in New Jersey, when there will be a debate over the legacy of this year’s World Cup.
It won’t be a discussion about the stadiums, most of which were in existence long before the tournament was even awarded to North America. It certainly will not include any nod to FIFA, which priced out everyday fans to take advantage of America’s otherwise deep coffers and quest to be a part of big events. In such politically charged times, you can forget about any kudos shown to any of the three host administrations either.
