I wouldnt mind splitting the threads.. even though I will be visiting both cities and Pipa in between... my only concern would be that at this point, there may have been some info earlier on in the thread that is relavant to whatever city.. and now I would have to cycle between two threads to see if the topic came up before.... probably only a minor inconvenience..just a thought...
at this point I don't know how we can split them up. As some have mentioned, you'd lose all the old info. What's bad though is the Natal info is getting split between the two threads, this one and the dedicated Natal WC thread, that unfortunately is in the US Men's section so probably mostly only Yanks will run across it, even though that one also has a lot of good info in it.
True, if only there was a way in which you could... I don't know... link documents to each other in such a way that you could navigate between related topics......if only .... I vote split.
I succeeded to booking a bus from Recife to Natal on http://www.progressoonline.com.br/ R$65.96 per person. Japan have the first match against Cote d'Ivore @ Recife on June 14 and the second much against Greek @ Natal on 19. Bunch of Japanese fan heading to Natal between 15th and 19th.
It's really sad that these are two of the undersubscribed matches his WC, I think both Japan x Cote d'Ivore and japan x Greece have the potential to be great matches and I'd love to see both, but my schedule and Brazilian internal flight prices make it impossible for me.
We could just start a Recife thread and then change the tittle of this thread. I just know there are many of us who are not going to be in Natal and have no interest on the natal conversations.
I think there's more Recife stuff than Natal stuff in here. I am going to Natal and have zero interest in Recife info. these are two different places, not sure why they were combined to begin with, other than they are sort of geographically close. We already have a Natal thread already but it's in the US Men's section. As far as I know there is no other Recife thread. I think it if you really want to separate them, and actually now I think it's better to do that, we should have a separate Natal and Recife thread. The reason I say that is we are about 6 weeks away from the WC start, and I think/hope that the discussions will really start heating up as to where to drink beer, meet up, how to do match logistics, where to drink beer, stuff like that instead of the flight, lodging and ticket crap we've been dealing with.
that's true...my bad! I only read the US Natal thread because that's where I'm going, not Recife. Sorry about the misinformation. We had a pretty good discussion going on the Natal thread and I think it'll heat up again as we get closer. The few days around the Ghana game are going to be OFF THE HOOK for any US supporters in Natal! But I sort of wish that Natal thread was in the general WC section because probably a lot of non-US supporters never venture over to that part of the board. But there's enough Americans that'll be there during that time that it's all good.
Hi, mate. It looks you got bunch of tix! My friends and I booked 11:00AM bus on 15th. We have GHA x USA tix as well. It is better to book your seat as soon as possible. I expect more than 1000 Japanese fans move to Natal.
Haha. I hope GHA x USA will be a great game as well. Some Japanese are trying to see GHA vs USA on 16th. I saw it in 2010 at Rustenburg Stadium with Bill Clinton and Mick Jagger. They were in a VIP box tho. And sorry for Americans but it was quite a good game.
Wish I would have known. I just sold back 4 cat 1 tix to Fifa. I didn't think I could get rid of them. Seems everyone has a ticket to this game. I actually may still have 2 extras left!
Any-one travelling after Greece Japan game from Natal straight after game to Recife to watch Italy vs Costa Rica?I need a lift please,I'm travelling solo from New Zealand.
Do you happen to know any Japanese fans staying in Pipa? I need to figure out a way to get back to Pipa after the first match.
How did you manage to do it? I always get "unavailable" or "this route doesnt exisit" when I try to book recife-natal.
Did you book it in portuguese? What did you enter for the CPF number? Maybe your passport? I am booking my tickets today.
