A few kilometers from Swope Soccer Village, England’s official base for the World Cup, nine people ended up injured in a shooting on Troost Avenue, Kansas City. It was 4 in the morning on Saturday, June 7, and the English were in Tampa winning a friendly, unaware of what was happening at their future “home”. No arrests, no clear motive. 🚨
Some say the incident has nothing to do with the tournament and that the distance from the stadium makes the alarm exaggerated. But others point to something more uncomfortable: so far in 2026, 170 mass shootings have already been recorded in the U.S., and Kansas City is also hosting Argentina, the Netherlands, and Algeria. 🌎
Do you think the U.S. guarantees safety for this World Cup, or does the country have a problem that no match can cover up?
