The matches are underway across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, and the hype is unreal. But behind the scenes, cities are dealing with massive traffic jams, crazy security, and eye-watering infrastructure costs. Now that it's actually happening, what's your vibe on the World Cup's impact on the country?

    I love the World Cup, but public money for temporary hype always makes me uneasy.

    Same. Fun event, questionable bill.

    Hard to argue against the tourism boost. Every bar near me has been packed for games.

    This feels like a net positive if the transit upgrades actually stick around afterward.

    The matches are great, but the host cities clearly were not ready for this many people moving around.

    Traffic has been brutal, but that was predictable the moment the venues were picked.
