FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United States: Discussion Thread

[freedomgo]

Messi's current interview suggests he may not play in the next World Cup. In fact, this year's World Cup was organized historically. And witnessing this historic event, Messi's Argentina made history and secured the World Cup. Lionel Messi is now complete in all aspects.

Lionel Messi is very satisfied with his achievements so far in football, he has won almost all competitions either in the league or in international competition with Argentina. So even if he retires later everyone will always remember the historical moment about him. But the 2022 world cup is the pinnacle of his career and with that I think he is done.

Right now we are in 2023 and the 2026 world cup starts in 4 years, which is far away, and Lionel Messi is 35 years old. He indeed got reach many achievements with many teams while playing for Argentina and the clubs he was paying there but playing at age of 39-38 in the world cup is not something many players can reach even the most professional players can't perform like the early years and mostly these players prefer to retire before everyone sees them playing for poor performance level compared to other times and I guess Lionel Messi is one these players.

You are absolutely correct, Messi have achieved everything that is achievable in football, and so is Ronaldo as well, I personally can not find any reason why they should still be in the field of play by the age of 39 upwards, it is better to retire so as to give the younger players the breathing space to prove themselves, like I said in my previous comment, they can not play forever, even if they want to, so it is better for them to give themselves rest while the younger seize the opportunity to show what they are capable of.

I doubt if Messi and Ronaldo will be able to participate in the next world cup. Even we call see the effect of age in their performance,  expecially that of Ronaldo.  In the very next four years their performance will be very terrible. They have done enough and achieved enough,  the best thing is to retire.

These are the common comments that are made after the World Cup 2022 and I know this got a point because at 40 years old, there is indeed a lot of change from the player's body that would highly affect its performance and worse, the play of the whole team as this sport requires a team play and not just by one player who will carry them towards the win. But we shouldn't also forget that these are mere speculations and will remain as speculations as of now because only Messi and CR7 can answer those questions for us if we will see them in the next WC or not.

Ronaldo is 37 right now and in 2026 he'll be 40+  so his participation is a question as his performance and fitness will be different than now. They participate or not they have already given too much to football world . The way they played , there achievements they are remarkable and whatever world says they both are the goats of football world.

I would compare this with Croatia and their lousy football league, while their national team is among the top football teams in the world. If you look at it, Croatian football teams doesn't have shiny sports facilities and training camps. But also very few players in the Croatian national team actually plays in Croatia. It's similar with Brazilian and Argentinian football players. Very few of their national team players actually play in their home football leagues. Most of them play in top European clubs.

Belgium is no exception. Before the 2022 Qatar World Cup was held, Belgium was previously predicted to be a dark horse team which might become a stumbling block for strong teams who are always more favored. but in fact, they failed to even qualify from the group phase. even though almost as a whole, the core players of the Belgian squad play at the level of Europe's top leagues.

In the 2026 World Cup, I believe there are many teams that are experiencing significant changes that can play at a high level if they are serious about being able to compete in the world championship. especially Canada, they play very much differently. in terms of game, Canada displayed a very solid game. the problem is, Canada doesn't have many players whose quality is above average. only if we look at the system they play, Canada will reform into a team that is quite tough in the world cup championship later.

For Croatia, for now there is not much player regeneration that is quite prominent. but after all, Croatia will always be counted in the championship later. because, they have built a pretty good system. the rest, Croatia must have a way to create new talent starting from its local competition.

While many had predicted that Belgium will shock the world in the 2022 World Cup, the Red Devils were eliminated in the first round. Possible causes include a deficiency of world-class talent or a failure to gel as a team.

In contrast, Canada has what it takes to be a serious threat in the 2026 World Cup. If they are prepared to spend in cultivating fresh talent from the local level, their structure might enable them reconstruct into a formidable club.

Croatia has a decent framework in place, but in order to remain successful in the tournament, they will need to discover innovative methods to produce fresh talent from their local contests. Croatia might still be a competitive squad in the 2026 World Cup with the appropriate resources and effort.

While many had predicted that Belgium will shock the world in the 2022 World Cup, the Red Devils were eliminated in the first round. Possible causes include a deficiency of world-class talent or a failure to gel as a team.

No, the problem that made Belgium's game so messy in the Qatar world cup was caused by several factors.  one of them, there is disharmony that occurs in the team. Belgium has pretty good player depth. unfortunately, at that time Roberto Martinez as a coach was unable to solve the problems that occurred in the squad of his foster children. so, it's only natural that Belgium doesn't show its best game.

In contrast, Canada has what it takes to be a serious threat in the 2026 World Cup. If they are prepared to spend in cultivating fresh talent from the local level, their structure might enable them reconstruct into a formidable club.

For Canada. their game system was good enough, they showed a different style of play even though they had to be eliminated in the end. but at least, Canada will be a concern in the upcoming world cup, maybe their federation will be even more serious about creating lots of young talents. the 2026 world cup is still far away, Canada has time to make their national team even better.

Croatia has a decent framework in place, but in order to remain successful in the tournament, they will need to discover innovative methods to produce fresh talent from their local contests. Croatia might still be a competitive squad in the 2026 World Cup with the appropriate resources and effort.

While Croatia, again, Croatia was able to enter until a crucial party. even though they were unable to finish in the final match, in truth, their struggle and hard work must be appreciated. Luca Modric is the hero, but I'm not sure he will still participate in the upcoming championships. so, for now I don't have any idea to judge Croatia squad anytime soon.

In almost 100 years of history, only 8 countries in the world have won the world cup:



Of those, 3 are from South America(CONMEBOL) and 5 are from Europe(UEFA).

It looks to me that it's not a matter of having more teams, but rather, those are just extremely talented countries.

Every single one of those countries usually performs excellent. Winning a world cup is a major thing, it's not only about the number of countries participating.

I think it is about having a "football culture", which means it's not just about your clubs, it's not just about spending money, it's about having 2 things, and when you have these two things then you are going to be a great football nation. One of them is kids playing football everywhere you go, which is valid in more than these 8 nations, it's not just strict to these 8 nations, but you have to focus on the emphasis "everywhere you go", because in every single town of these nations, there are kids playing football everyday.

Secondly, a good youth setup, meaning if you are 10 years old, and you played with your friends and quite good? You need to step up, you can't just play with your friends and be scouted, so you need to sign up for a good youth setup somewhere, and that means there needs to be a setup in every town again. If a nation has these two, then they are pretty good. Most nations do not have the second one.

Agreed, with most of these countries football is much connected with their culture. For Asians to win a Cup it takes more time and right now it is beginning to progress. When someone is good in  sport, he/she needs to be recognised and supported by the government with better infrastructure and coaching. In Asian countries this is lacking and over time realisation will make them give good competence against the South American and European Countries.

Anyway, all I am saying is that these players don't have the capability of winning matches on their own. They can play a supplementary role, and that is it.

If you are talking about solo goals, those are rare and you really need a team effort to win matches and big tournaments and it is evident from the recent World Cup where Messi motivated the entire team and the team members trusted his vision and everyone wanted to win the cup for Messi and the player needs to be in the right position at the right time and only a team whose members are willing to play a supplementary role for the ultimate purpose can win the entire tournament .

I have seen matches where Kylian Mbappé was not able to score goals nor get any chance to score one for PSG when Neymar and Messi were not available. You need a good midfield play to get the ball to the strikers, Ronaldo was facing the fate in Manchester United and now with Al-Nassr as he is not getting the ball and even if you are a goal scoring machine elsewhere, if the midfielders are not good enough to pass the ball along, you wont be scoring goals.

 A team can only be victorious by a good team effort, if all the players are doing their role efficiently and good then a team can win . You cannot win a game by one man show and you cannot expect that from football players too , they need a good team who pass ball according to their position and helps the striker to score a goal .
Ronaldo's criticism from Al Nassr is same as they arenot admiting this fact that just Ronaldo cannot play whole game , other players have to play good to win match.

Everything in football is all about team work and you don't expect to be the best. If other do not pass the ball to you, you might to even score or let alone holding the ball. I could remember when they signed Ronaldo everyone was jubilating so why the complain now. That is one of the problems we so have in football. We do have high expectations from a particular player forgetting that we all are humans. He can not do more than his power so let just expect an improved result soon.

Like you rightly pointed out, the success of every nation in football is a combination of talent and talent development. Any nation that is fortunate to have skillful or good footballers and invest on infrastructure and the welfare of these players would always win trophies.
A typical example are the European nations. They are able to identify talents at a very tender age and use thier modernized equipments to develop such talent. South American nations like Argentina and Brazil are also doing the same them. But most nations in Africa and South America, have the talents but lack the relevant infrastructure and financial resources to develop these players. Some wealthy nations like the US, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, etc has all the sporting facilities but they lack enough football talents.

I'm not really sure about that. Pele was playing with no shoes. Argentina definitely doesn't have the money to spend of elite training compared to European standards.

They simply are better at the game natively. Brazil and Argentina are the top two countries in the FIFA ranking: https://www.fifa.com/fifa-world-ranking/men

But to your point, many European countries have players that are genetically from Africa, like Mbappe in France. They have the skills from their genetics, and they get the support of the European countries. best of both worlds.

I can agree with you on Latin America, but not with Africa. Latin American players are naturally superior in football skills. Most of the population in countries such as Brazil and Argentina are descended from Mediterranean countries such as Italy, Spain and Portugal, where football is traditionally the most popular sport. Around 25 million people of Italian descent lives in Argentina (almost two-thirds of the population). Ethnic Italian population in Argentina and Brazil is more than that in Italy right now. Lionel Messi for example, is descendant of Italian immigrants from the region of Marche in Central Italy.

But I can't agree that African players are genetically better suited for football. In that case, why none of the African countries have managed to perform well in the World Cup? Don't give the example of Morocco, because most of their player were either Arabs or Berber (closer to Europeans than Sub-Saharan Africans). Africans maybe more skilled compared to North Europeans, but I don't think that they can beat the Latin Americans.

[shogun47]

Yes your conclusions are right more or less, but keep in mind that these statistics refer to the entire history of World Cups. If you have a closer eye at certain periods of time, you can clearly see that the last 20 years (before Argentina's FIFA World Cup win now) were strongly dominated by UEFA teams. 2006, 2010, 2014 and 2018 all finals were won by a UEFA team and even only a single time the runner up was a CONMEBOL team (Argentina in 2014 against Germany).

Whether I would say that CONMEBOL dominates the scene completely is, even statistically spoken, probably wrong (given that it is 11:8 for CONMEBOL).

Though the statistics are still interesting when you take into account all the other facts like number of participants per association and so on. I didn't know all of that before in deeper detail, so it was fun to dig a bit around and understand it better.

Hmm.. yes. 2006-2018 period was completely dominated by UEFA. Both Argentina and Brazil suffered setbacks during this period, and were unable to perform well in the FIFA tournaments (barring the 2014 edition, when Argentina managed to finish as the runners up). But now the scenario is changing once more. European teams are getting weaker, as many of their top players are close to retirement (Ronaldo, Benzema, Müller.etc). Younger players are not performing at the same level as the senior players. But for Brazil and Argentina, the advantage is that their younger players are already performing well at international level - Lautaro Martínez, Alexis Mac Allister, Enzo Fernández and Lisandro Martínez for Argentina and Richarlison, Raphinha, Gabriel Jesus, Antony, Vinícius Júnior and Gabriel Martinelli for Brazil.

Yes the generational question also plays a role again and again. Spain is a great example for that. You could be wondering why they just won a single World Cup so far, but that was the time when they were full of superstars and won the EURO 2008, WC 2010 and EURO 2012. That was just crazy how strong they were. They are still not bad, but they did not manage to win another title so far.

Brazil has a team with lots of potential at the moment. Argentina remains to be seen because Messi was certainly still pivotal to their game despite his age. The whole role he took on and the burden he carried was big, but that doesn't mean he can't be replaced collectively. Not one to one, but collectively.

France is a damn strong team and we'll see what other European teams might make it to the top.

[swogerino]

Seeing that picture with all the big winners of the all times World Cup events I find it very strange that Brazil is 20 years without winning it.This clearly means that their time when they used to dominate world football has gone and you cannot pretend to win the World Cup with players like Neymar who think more about his hair than he thinks to give success to the national team.I believe this to be a change in mentality in Brazil and now we need to change this back to how it was in the glorious time of Romario and Bebeto in 1994 and then of Ronaldo in 2002,those were phenomenal players and not Neymar with friends.

[LUCKMCFLY]

I strongly doubt that Ronaldo will play in the 2026 world cup, if you watched their game against morocco(not 100 percent sure) in the last world cup which brought about their disqualification from the tournament, Ronaldo was crying while leaving the football pitch, many believe that the reason why he was crying was because the 2022 world cup match was his last, and he thought he could have done better but failed, even through out the entire game Portugal played in the 2022 world cup, Ronaldo wasn't as active and vibrant like the Ronaldo we all used to know, i highly doubt his participation in 2026 world cup.

I am not sure whether Ronaldo will ever be a part of the Portuguese national squad again. He has moved to Saudi Arabia with his family and is a part of the biding team for 2030 FIFA World Cup. There are rumors that he may take up Saudi Arabian citizenship. He is already cohabiting with his girlfriend (Georgina Rodríguez), which is against the Saudi law. Actually as per Saudi Arabian law, cohabiting without marriage is a crime punishable by death. They changed the law just for Ronaldo. And in all probability, this is just a beginning. There will be more high profile sports legends moving to the Kingdom in the coming months and years.

And now taking in to account the rough treatment that he received during the 2022 world cup from the Portugal coach (Fernando Santos, replaced with Roberto Martínez a few days back), I am not sure whether Ronaldo would be very excited to represent Portugal again. He wanted to play for the national team along with his son, but given the changed circumstances it may no longer be a priority for him.

Well, the truth is, I don't think CR7 will change the possibility of playing for his country, he is a very nationalist player, it would not look very good if he gave up his national team just to play for Arabia, what I can say is that he is a player who before being a footballer he is an athlete, so that makes him a person who is very persistent, I think that if he can play another world, people will support him to play, and if he is at the level he can do it, age is just such a number Maybe he doesn't move like before, but there's no denying that he can score big goals, in any case, there's a long way to go before the World Cup, and a lot can happen.

Seeing that picture with all the big winners of the all times World Cup events I find it very strange that Brazil is 20 years without winning it.This clearly means that their time when they used to dominate world football has gone and you cannot pretend to win the World Cup with players like Neymar who think more about his hair than he thinks to give success to the national team.I believe this to be a change in mentality in Brazil and now we need to change this back to how it was in the glorious time of Romario and Bebeto in 1994 and then of Ronaldo in 2002,those were phenomenal players and not Neymar with friends.

Well, the comparison may sound quite denigrating, but it should be noted that players from almost all countries are rising a lot, Europe is producing very good players, of course they are having a lot of success thanks to the European soccer schools. They take 2-3-year-old children, while in Brazil and part of South America they have another type of development, what dominates the most are those players who are trained on the street, who do not have the option of a good school, and they have to go out Go ahead like this, such is the case of Antony from Brazil, an exceptional player, but when you play with so many players who come from academies where they have a lot of development, it's difficult. A Brazilian player always stands out from the rest, just like the Argentines, what I'm saying is that these players have natural talent, they are born with it.

I think that all this affects, also in some countries that have everything they have not developed their football at 100%, but the case that most attracts my attention is the Japanese who aim to be the world champions in a certain time.

You may "think" that, but in reality it is quite different. In both Argentina and Brazil, there is a vast network of scouts, which means that there are a lot of people who are looking for young talent all the time. Before those kids are scouted, they are pretty poor and even after they are scouted, they are pretty poor until they sign a professional contract, and after that they are above regular people, but when they sign with a big club?

It doesn't matter if you are in a poor country like Argentina, you still get paid a lot. Pele played with bare foot but Pele also played in 50's and 60's, we are 60 years after that, there are tons of changes and during those times not many nations aside from a few had any of this.

I think the problem from which Brazil suffers is not related to the quality of players, as Brazil always produces new talents and exports them to the world. The problem lies in the coaching and team managing mentality. If you look at European teams, you will find a mutual factor between all of them, which is the seriousness and commitment on the field, and that is what Brazil misses, in my opinion. Remembering the last match for them in the World Cup, they received a goal in the very late minutes because some players left their roles and followed their emotions, while Croatia didn't give up and played until the last minute of the match.
Talking about the coaching problem, I guess the Brazil football federation don't recommend a non-Brazilian coach, but after all these disappointments, they may consider signing a European coach, as there's enough time to make some changes in the mentality before the next World Cup.

Surely we all know about Brazilian quality but right now things are not working for them with last time they won in 2002 after this they are facing humiliations as well and their player's coordination is also now biggest problem for them with quality is still amazing and talent is also unanimous with this all now if Brazilian Soccer Federation wants to have better results then surely they can bring this rule even just for experiment and hire any coach from European Union for the next four years and then check the change because most chance they will be improved and having better changes which will help them for having another good time in soccer for their country.

I mean, Brazil is the only team in the world that has qualified to every single World Cup in history.

Also, they have won it five times, the current record.

Plus, they are at number one in the FIFA ranking today.

Yeah, I think they'll manage

One common issue which I can think about both Brazil and Argentina is that the local leagues in these two nations are not very strong. And it has been that way for the past many decades. Local leagues (Campeonato Brasileiro Série A or Argentine Liga Profesional de Fútbol) can't afford the insane salaries that are being offered by the Europeans. So almost all of the national team members play for European clubs and this results in a lack of co-ordination when they play for the national team. But this issue will be there forever and they need to adjust with it.

That's an extraordinary statistic that even other countries that have won the world cup have also not qualified for qualification, such as Italy at the World Cup Qatar, which did not play. Brazil has always been able to qualify for the World Cup are the fact as well as the individual quality of the players no need to be doubted and being one of the countries with a lot of good player material and that has prevented many other players from finally being able to enter the team list core at the last World Cup
