The ongoing World Cup in the USA, Mexico, and Canada does not evoke positive emotions for all famous Germans.

Among them is Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness.

"I believe this championship is a football fiasco.

Two thousand dollars for an average seat ticket to the final?

I have always supported the commercial side of football, but this is an extreme form of it. I do not want to contribute by buying tickets.

I certainly do not wish to attend the championship.

If I did want to, that desire would quickly fade upon seeing how far the future accommodation is."
