World Cup 2026 USA

[Merlin5]

Not exactly relevant right now but for those interested, in 8 years it's being held in the US, Mexico and Canada. Notably, 'the tournament field is expanding to 48 teams, which means there will be 80 games in all, with 60 of them in the United States, while Mexico and Canada split the other 20. ' That's going to be a fantastic world cup. The final is expected to take place at the 87,000 capacity MetLife Stadium, home of the New York Giants and New York Jets. Be funny if USA failed to qualify again.

They'll automatically get in as hosts though won't they?

 

[The Running Man]

Pathetic choice tbh

I don't like this multiple hosts thing. Makes sense when it's a small country that probably couldn't manage on their own, but USA pairing with Canada and Mexico? Seems a bit too widespread really.

 

[Moothead2]

The US alone is almost the size of Europe, imagine having 'Europe' host the World Cup. Very strange decision.

 

[The Running Man]

Why?

USA 94
Mexico 70 and 86

 

[adam cool dude]

It will be 12 years before Europe hosts again.

 

[mysticsniper]

So this'll be 40 years since the last one in Mexico and 32 since the last in the US. Is that a big deal? Wasn't the alternative Morocco which was super risky given the amount of building work needed? It was literally just Morocco and USA/Canada/Mexico who applied, no? It couldn't have been Europe or Asia because of Russia and Qatar... so it had to be Africa, North America, South America, or Oceania... the latter two didn't have any applicants.

I don't understand how Russia can be classed as a European country, since most of it is in Asia?

But we do know that FiFA has been rotten to the core for years so, should we be surprised by their choices?!?

What about them?

 

[Skorpion]

Africa would be ideal...although 3 lions on your shirt could become a reality

 

[wildman]

teams will have trouble with the games in Mexico as they might get held up by the wall ?....................

 

[mmj_uk]

England should do a joint bid with 47 other Commonwealth nations, great chance of winning the World Cup with hosts taking up all of the places.

Hope I'm still alive when this comes around.
