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

[Sithara007]

Well, you are right, alcohol and sports do go hand in hand, though not for the players  .
I also do not think alcohol will be banned completely in the sports arena,  but I do expect it to happen on some special occasions, like what we saw in Qatar last year, but I believe there won't be such ban in 2026 world cup, being that USA, Canada, Mexico, are countries that are known for high standards, and I believe the citizens are more civilized than citizens of most other countries, coupled with their tight security system, making sure all go Well shouldn't be a hassle, even with alcohol present in the stadium.

Even for the 2026 World Cup, I don't think that alcoholic beverages other than beer will be available at the stadiums. And ever since I have started watching football, I have never witnessed any issue related to alcohol during the matches. In western nations, people know how to behave themselves after taking alcohol. And in the third world nations, there is a blanket ban on such beverages. Anyway, I am of the opinion that the authorities should not tell to ordinary people what they should eat or drink. Whether or not to consume alcohol should be a decision to be made by the fans themselves.

Agreed. People should be masters of their culinary destiny. Who can argue with personal choice? Yet, when pondering libations at football matches, I find myself in a conundrum. Personally, alcohol-related issues remain unseen; hence, banning anything beyond beer feels excessive.

Conversely, apprehensions surrounding safety and minors imbibing are valid. Uniformity is fair, so if some countries enforce bans, should we not align? Ultimately, the crux lies in harmonizing personal liberty with collective security. Although I resist a sweeping prohibition on non-beer spirits, embracing diverse perspectives to forge a fitting compromise is paramount.

But Saudi Arabia won against the current champions, Argentina. That might give them a boost in the selection process.

It was perhaps the most unexpected result during Qatar 2022. No one expected Argentina to go down against Saudi Arabia, and that too in their first match. But to their credit, Argentina recovered well, and never lost another match in the tournament. Saudi Arabia on the other hand failed to qualify for the round of 16. But then, the edition of 2022 was full of surprises. Brazil lost to Cameroon, France lost to Tunisia, Germany lost to Japan and so on. I just hope that in 2026 also we will be able to witness similar upsets.

In football, we can usually see many unexpecting results like this one between Argentina and Saudi Arabia because Saudi Arabia is not even the strongest team in Asia, and even the Saudi Arabia fans were waiting for the team take to have another result and a draw but they won and we saw other results like this one Germany lost to Japan and that's one good thing we usually see in the world cups, not spring to see these results again in 2026 world cup.

That's the luck of Qatar when they had one of the best games in any world cup we have seen. I mean surely there must have been some other world cup with great results as well, but for example this final has been one of the best finals we have ever seen.

A 2-2 ending with 2 goals from France coming in the last 12 minutes, then 1-1 on overtime when both teams scored, a last minute near impossible save by Martinez on the very last seconds of the game, and then penalties that were amazing to watch as well. All in all it felt like it was the best game I have seen in a long time, not just in a world cup but I haven't seen a game that hyped for a long time, everyone felt joy when watching it, if you are a football fan, you loved that game without a doubt, no matter who you rooted for.

This is common in football, especially if it is a big match at the World Cup, not only the match between Argentina and Saudi Arabia gave many surprises, but many matches ended with scores that were not predicted beforehand. These surprising things are the main attraction in the world of football, no matter how far the difference between the two teams that are competing, if they are unlucky they will get defeat. But we will see in the end that Argentina can still get up and then come out as champions in the World Cup.

It's really funny that you are still discussing the Saudi Arabia vs Argentina match. I think Saudi Arabia won that match, it was lucky for them, after Saudi Arabia secured the win, they humiliated Argentina in a big way. In the end, we saw Argentina become the world champion and Saudi Arabia did not exist in the World Cup.

2030 is being chased by Saudi Arabia, one of the main reasons why they got Ronaldo as well, they want Ronaldo to basically talk about how it would be great to host it. When you consider how much money nations can make from world cup, billions and billions of dollars, if paying Ronaldo 200-300 million to get it, then it would be totally worth it. They are in fact considering about a lot more people, Messi, Mourinho and all that which would be a great deal and definitely could be considered a great idea.

I understand that it will not be cheap and they may lose, but they are going to end up trying at least. Would it be too bad? I am not so sure, but I bet 100% that there are better nations suited for something like that without a doubt. I miss England hosting it, that would be lovely to see again.

Personally I think that this experiment by FIFA of trying to bring the World Cup to as many nations as possible was in a way successful, but it should be over already, we need to go back to the roots and let some of the traditional countries which are superpowers in the world of soccer to host the World Cup again, I would like to see England, Argentina, Italy and other similar powerful countries which have a very high passion for the sport hosting the World Cup again, and once that happens then FIFA can start their experiment again if they want.

fifa is an organization in which money is preferred over the history of achievements that a country has in soccer, in this case for the world cup, fifa chooses who invests more money in the organization of the world cup, I agree that more countries need to have opportunities to organize the world cup and in my opinion they should reduce the time from 4 years to 3 years and put a requirement that if any country that has religion as laws then it should refrain from organizing or else accept that people who are going to watch world cup were exempt from these harsh laws based on religion

but unfortunately fifa doesn't seem to care about much as long as the country has a lot of money to organize the world cup, this means that poor countries in africa will have to wait 50 years from now to organize the world cup, another shocking thing and that fifa turns a blind eye to many abuses and cases of corruption that have happened in soccer federations in africa, i don't even know why the current president of fifa was elected for another term, and still earns a salary of 3 million dollars, he has many things are wrong with these organizations, the world cups in recent times have been without much fun, they do not compare with those of the past

Never understood the pleasure of drinking beer in a stadium. As you know, it is processed very quickly and you have to run to the toilet (which is usually full) during the game. It is absolutely inconvenient and unfun in my opinion.
By the way, about the fact that beer is considered a "light" alcoholic drink, I also have a big misunderstanding - with a sufficient amount of alcohol drunk, it causes no less intoxicating effect than other drinks.
But in general, I agree that as long as a person does not interfere with others, he himself has the right to decide what to drink and eat.

Not an experimental term but I think FIFA is giving the other countries in other parts of the world a chance to host World Cup so that they will also have a first hand experience about it. As per rumor, Saudi Arabia joined with Greece and Egypt to host the 2030 World Cup but there are other countries as well that joined forces and that would love to have their chance to host, and possibly they got more chances to host the 2030 World Cup namely Morocco-Portugal-Spain.

Do you all think that the FIFA authorities can organize the next World Cup like the World Cup in Qatar?

From that point of view, I don't think any other country like Qatar can spend so much money on football world cup.

Why beer or alcohol Is such important topic of discussion for western people , is it so important in their lives or they can't watch Football without that .
Let's see how matches will be and what will be arrangement of teams and stadiums . The environment of stadiums matters alot as that what matters.

I guess that made a lot of people watch it and have more fun, but nobody knew that would happen before the game though, so just because the game ended that way doesn't mean they were better, it just means they were not ready for it. Sure the final got a lot of views afterwards, from youtube and repeats and all that, but I would guess that whoever watched it at the time, would have watched it whatever the result was, so it shouldn't be a shocking result.

In the end, we are talking about Qatar facing so many troubles due to the fact that thousands of people died building everything, so they got some attention like they wanted to, but the attention they got wasn't really for things that they would want to be known for, it was all bad media and to be fair if what is told is true, then I am afraid they deserved it as well.

I am sure that the answer is yes and that soon, maybe already in 7 years, we could see that the world championship is organized by an even richer country than Qatar.
In fact, this is not an assumption but a very real possibility because Saudi Arabia has already expressed its interest in organizing the 2030 World Cup.
It seems that in the future, rich Arab countries may perceive the organization of the world football cups as a matter of prestige and great international promotion, just as it is now a matter of prestige for them to buy English clubs. 
Football today is more than ever linked to profit.

I think in the USA there is no problem with this, at least in various funny videos (which I sometimes watch) from their stadiums, beer appears very often. The only thing that can lead to certain incidents is the age at which you can legally drink alcohol - if I remember correctly, in some states it is 21 years old and for example, some tourist from Europe aged 19-20 years old can be very surprised.

[LUCKMCFLY]

~snip~
The quality of the stadiums and any other facilities should be obviously higher than the last world cup we saw because four years passed and we can have better technologies for stadiums and this can definitely help the hosts, while in some countries they don't have a good financial system like Qatar does, they can't provide good quality facilities if they don't already have enough facilities.

Well, 2 out of the 3 countries have already hosted the world cup in the past, Mexico and the US. So basically there's a big chance they would just be reusing their current infrastructure.

I don't think they're going to spend too much making new stadiums or renovating old ones.

Most of the time it's not about stadiums, it's about other stuff as well. Qatar didn't spent 200 billion on stadiums, not even close, that was just a few billion dollars and all the others went to many more airports (or renovation to the current ones) state of the art hospitals, with literally everything you could ever imagine and not just one, nearly a dozen, roads that would be not just regular roads, but bridges and sea tunnels and so forth as well. Basically they built the nation from ground up.

So, USA and Mexico and Canada could end up still spending billions on this. Russia had stadiums too, but spent nearly 20 billion on this, why? Because they needed to be ready for all those people coming in. You need to remember that in most of the time you do not expect tens of millions of people to come and go in a month period, that's extra and that requires getting ready.

It is that the Construction to comply with the FIFA protocols currently must be more demanding than those that were for Qatar, and yet they still demanded, however they complied and that is what is sought, that the coming World Cup has to overcome the previous one, because otherwise it does not make sense to ask for a World Cup to be held in their countries, then when Seeing all these things the expense that these 3 countries have to make is very large, and they should not skimp on doing so to comply and be the better,that's why I'm curious to see if the integration of these three countries is fulfilled.

Sometimes it's not about spending too much money but it's all about respecting the people who come to the country to watch the world cup games and giving them some freedom, even if you spend millions of dollars still you can't provide all the visitors wants from your country, I think in the next cups we see we will never have another host like Qatar with these rules but because of the experience FIFA had in the past.

You have logic. But we have to remember that every country has its own rules, and we have to keep in mind that Qatar is a Muslim country. We as human beings consider it our moral duty to follow the rules and regulations of every country. We have to admit that Qatar has given football fans an amazing World Cup. We also want football fans to enjoy the next World Cup independently.

I always supported the idea that if you are going to do a world cup, then you do it in a nation filled with football history and culture. There is nothing else you need, it could be even a poor nation and they would still have everything you need.

Argentina is famously a poor nation, they had record breaking inflation after inflation and you could stay at a five star hotel literally for 10 bucks a day, that is the cheapness level and poverty level they have, and yet if you do a world cup there, between the amazing stadiums and the football culture and people who would love to watch it, you are going to end up with a lot of fans and a great world cup. Wealth doesn't equal a good world cup, love of football does equal it without a doubt though.
