From the moment the United States launched its bid to co-host the 2026 World Cup, the games were pitched as a way to elevate and promote North America’s most distinctive and glamorous cities. There was Miami, with its fabulous beachfront hotels, described in the so-called bid book as the United States’ “gateway to the world.” San Francisco put forth a vision of fans flooding Mission Dolores Park, reveling in the city’s “iconic skyline” and its mythical bridge on the edge of the continent. Boston, one of America’s “most historic” cities, would greet the World Cup with an “elegant simplicity with…

Andy Burnham has not ruled out a wealth tax, suggesting his incoming government may have “to ask for a little more” tax at some point.Burnham, who is due to become prime minister on Monday, was asked whether he was considering a wealth tax in an interview, external with former footballer and Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker.The Labour MP said he would take time to review the state of the public finances and wanted to focus on “bringing people together” rather than creating “new divisions”.”I’m not going rule things out right now,” Burnham said. “I do believe we need…

New York City – It’s dubbed “Little Argentina”, but lifelong resident Christian Gimenez says much has changed in the neighbourhood he grew up in.Once an epicentre of the Argentinian diaspora that settled in New York City, most relocating during the so-called “dirty war” of the 1970s, only a handful of Argentinian restaurants and bakeries remain as a foothold of what once was in the Elmhurst, Queens neighbourhood.Recommended Stories list of 3 itemsend of listBut when the FIFA World Cup comes around, the block swells with revellers, clad in white and sky blue.

“Us vs them”Kolkata football has, over the past century, come to revolve — much like in Madrid, Merseyside and Manchester —  around intense local derbies. In this case, the rivalry between Mohun Bagan and East Bengal draws crowds of more than 50,000 and dominates football conversation in the city.“There is a great passion for football in other parts of India too – Goa in the west, Kerala in the south and Sikkim and Manipur in the northeast,” said Kolkata-based football analyst Debanjan Banerjee.“But the longstanding rivalry between two great clubs in Kolkata has created not just a binary structure for…
