Here's an AP story in English about Belize's intentions of hosting their World Cup qualifier in either Houston or Los Angeles. Apparently there is no stadium in Belize capable of hosting such a match.
As far as the possibility of there being a huge pro-Mexico crowd there, well, the story doesn't go into it. I'm guessing it could work out to Belize's advantage if they get a cut of the gate revenues. Maybe that's why they are so happy to seek a location such as Houston and Los Angeles.
Also, the Belize FA president said in the earlier story I linked that they were just happy to have reached this stage of qualifying.
I quote sidspaceman:
ReplyDeleteI think this game will happen in Houston. Reason being the USMNT is playing in LA that day, and I don't think the USSF wants to be embarrased when nobody shows up to the HDC
I dont know that there is going to be a big crowd anyway.
