Patience is a Virtue (But Who Has Time for That?)
Let's get one thing straight: the wait is REAL. As in, really real. We're talking about a level of patience that would make a zen master blush. But fear not, dear reader, for the wait will be worth it.

We can expect a massive influx of soccer fans from all corners of the globe. Think of it as a United Nations of jersey-clad revelers. And let's not forget the economic boom. Hotels, restaurants, and bars will be packed to the brim. It's going to be epic.
