Both are about an hour from downtown by public transit, so it still stands to reason that a lot of Europeans won't be as blown away by the idea as everyone is suggesting.

I mean, poor mass transit hasn't stopped hundreds of thousands of Europeans from coming to the US to live. I think they'll manage getting to a soccer game (if they can even get tickets) via car. Also, Mexicans, Brazilians, Argentinians and even Australians tend to travel better than a lot of European countries to World Cups.

Tell me you've never been to Wembley without telling me. It used to take me 20-30 minutes to get to central London from Wembley. In fact even now at 3:30 am it would only take 45 minutes on a night bus.

I just picked a random spot right in the middle of London and looked at Publix transport times to Wembley and it was 50 minutes. Rounded it to about an hour. I'd imagine that time can swing a good 15+ minutes in either direction depending on where exactly in the center of town you are, but it doesn't feel too outrageous of a generalization
