CHICAGO - American soccer fan Carl Williams stated that he finally figured out how to save for 2026 World Cup tickets by giving up eggs, avocado, toast, ramen, car payments, gasoline, health care and rent in advance of the tournament.

“If I stick to this budget of spending nothing for the next 20 months or so I’ll be able to afford the games,” stated Williams.

Sources indicate that in order to reach his goal of making the 2026 World Cup, that Williams will be living out of the back of a salvaged boat that is parked on a dead end street and walking 14 miles into work every day.

“He’s really committed to seeing a game,” stated one friend. “I don’t know how he is going to manage, but he said that he lives, breathes and eats soccer so I’m guessing he will be fine nutritionally.”

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Williams saves up enough money to attend the 2026 World Cup but suffers an unfortunate hospitalization and loses all his money to medical bills.
