FIFA World Cup 2026

48 and no more though.

It's stupid to go above. Qualifying for a world cup where every other nation gets in would no longer be an achievement. The world cup MUST preserve its prestige and exclusivity. To appear there is a reward to be earned, not some God given right that FIFA are obliged to uphold by making it ridiculously easy to qualify.

I agree 48 is enough. I think it has been successful because US is huge with many cities with football stadiums, and even though Canada and Mexico also took small part, US could easily host 48 nations without stress or strain. Many big US cities with football stadiums were left out including my city of San Diego because of LA. They would have fallen in love with San Diego with its chillax weather and beaches not to mention San Diego being the US capitol of craft Breweries with 200 of them compared to the well known drinking city of Boston which has 30-40 breweries. Scotts/Tartan Army would have not drunk San Diego dry like they did to Boston.

Like the Superbowl (cities) the World Cup should have a rotation of permanent nations and after 1994 and this year being very successful (so far) in accommodations, safety, hospitality and awesomeness the US should be a permanent member of this rotation of nations. I mean the money FIFA is making this World Cup is going to be insane.

Btw I love this World Cup format allowing more nations in the tournament.

The US should be a permanent host every 12 years. Even 12 years from now there will be multiple new state of the art stadiums built. Repeat use of stadiums from this year should be at a minimum. Chicago, Minneapolis, Nashville, DC, Vegas, Denver should all be hosts.

Senegal and Iraq most likely will be both eliminated as well. I doubt Senegal could defeat Iraq with more than a goal difference of more than 3, unless the Iraqis try to eliminate us.

And the Iraqis tried to eliminate us. And some people call these people "brothers".

Thank you for being the clown of every thread you participate in.

This is the best World Cup in history. Top in attendance, average attendance, stadiums, parties, vibes and on and on. The US could easily host another 2-3 World Cups simultaneously with this one if it chose. Multiple new state of the art stadiums will be complete by 2038.

BTW, the only rubes here are the likes of you and the other cretins in that echo chamber you call an Iran thread. Truly pathetic you lot

This is the worst World Cup in history. Every body is dissatisfied with the US hosting this world cup, except for a bunch of low-IQ MAGA idiots like yourself. What vibes? Your official song for the world cup caused worldwide ridicule before Shakira released Dai Dai, which is not that great either. Even Qatar and Russia were better hosts.

You're a joke. Even this post of yours was laughable. You're considered a joke even on the US perspective on the war. Even there, you're considered a sad joke by your fellow Americans. As I said, thank you for being a clown on every thread you participate in.

Every thread you go onto - you pollute. Ive just had 4 complaints about you on this thread. You need to stop the vomit now.
The USA are hosting a third of this world cup and are thoroughly detested as hosts - whether its the hydration breaks or the polava about visas. Now be quiet because we all have had enough of your dick measuring on all threads you venture on….

Right you are.

USA could have done, and should have done, a much better job, were it not for the Orange Clown. On top, he has ruined the country's 250th birthday thoroughly, not to mention the White House itself, as well as just about every key institution.

An absolutely disgustingly failed man.

It will take a long time to wash of the orange shitstains he is leaving behind. Maybe by the next time the World Cup comes around, eh?

Detested by whom? Not the foreign visitors if social media has anything to say about it. They are having a grand time in the United States, if you should be complaining about the Canadians and their boorish behavior. Booing national anthems, what is that about. Don't see many videos of tourists having a grand time in Canada. Must be something in the water.
