[sovie]

And Fifa increased total team it will very helpful for new country’s. I know that till now 32 country play Fifa world cap. But from 2026 that's means Coming would cop 48 team will play Fifa world cap. It is very good news i think. Overall I think American Hosting Fifa world cap 2026 will great. Best wishes For USA, Canada and Mexico

It doesn't matter which country will host the next World Cup. The main thing is that football fans get something great, that is, even if it is not on par with the Qatar World Cup, that football fans get a good quality of everything. However, we expect to get some freedom from Qatar in terms of rules and regulations.

Yeah with the increased number of Nations playing there, it will be definitely interesting but they have to do better than what Qatar did in 2022 World Cup. Here we have 3 countries to deal with security issues in the first place but also improve infrastructure and the movement of ten thousands of people each time. It will not be easy.
For the USA, soccer come in the second place for them after the American football even though they already hosted an old version of World Cup but this doesn't help to make it the best game there. This time it might be better since US team is way better than what used to be.

To even consider Messi could be remotely bad in anything could be just kidding yourself. I can easily say that even the rivalry with Ronaldo was a bit fabricated if you ask me, dude had 90 goal year, 90!

He is by far the best player I have ever seen, the most skilled and talented one as well, he had great teammates at times and won a lot with them, some seasons the team wasn't all that good, but he never chased to go to a good team, he stayed with his team until he was already quite old, and then he started to move, he could have played anywhere, any good team in the world, and make them better and won a lot with them, but he preferred to stay in Barcelona. He is the best footballer the world has ever seen to me, and I hope to see him during next world cup as well, no matter his age.

Lionel Messi is without a doubt one of the best players the world has ever seen and is still actively playing. Decreasing for a player is a natural thing, especially because it is constrained by the age factor. But I don't agree if I have to compare players, because after all they have their own strengths and weaknesses. Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo for example, Lionel Messi is superior to Cristiano Ronaldo in some respects, and in other respects Cristiano Ronaldo is better than Lionel Messi. And for me they are the best players out there, despite their recent dip.

I don't  care about the performance of the two players right now, all I know they are both great players and they have really made impact in football, so if they are not performing well due to age now it is not their fault, it is just nature and normal.  A player can't show quality performance all through the career.

As I said before, a decrease in performance is a natural thing for a player, in fact I have never seen players able to perform stably every season. Something extraordinary was actually shown by these two players, they were able to maintain their performance for more than a decade and that was an extraordinary thing for a player. Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have given color to football today, regardless of the fans of the two players who compare the two, but they really deserve the title of legend in football.

Hopefully they can be a good host and successfully organize the World Cup with 48 countries participating for the first time after only 32 countries participated previously. It's true what you say, that hosting the World Cup will be the opening door to make football popular in their country.
I also hope that the 2026 World Cup will not cause pros and cons as happened before, at the Qatar World Cup. I mean there must be pros and cons, but don't make normal things like this get an exaggerated response.

Messi was the leader on key possessions made for his teammates as well, in all of Europe's top 10 league, that's basically the point here. I believe that we should be looking at Messi as a new light, maybe he won't score as much as he used to, but he still has his mind and he still has skill to pass the ball to the right person with the right way.

You do not need to be fast runner to pass very well, you can be slow and you would still pass very well if you are talented and he is talented. He is from the era of players who retired at 35, he prolonged this much and still playing very well. I agree that any team that can afford to get him will try to get him without a doubt. I can see him playing even at City at this age even if many disagree, dude is just great. So him not being in the world cup is impossible.

Even if Lionel Messi plays in the next World Cup, his demand will not decrease. Because Lionel Messi is a playmaker, he is able to create extraordinary attacks by standing in his place. But whether Lionel Messi plays in the next World Cup is his personal decision. So far we have not heard any official news that Lionel Messi will retire from the national team.

[BitcoinAccepted]

The question is whether Messi is still fit enough for a new world championship. He is so relaxed that he can always participate, despite his age and possible lack of fitness. But what does Messi want? I think he can only enjoy football if he starts playing at the highest level. And that will not work when he gets a little older and will become a wiselplayer, for example. Messi will never accept that. It's not for nothing that they say that you should always stop top sport when you've reached your peak.

[bitgolden]

It is somewhat obvious that what they say that when the World Cup ends,  some will want to stay there as illegals , in any case, there are many citizens of other countries who are in the USA and work, taking care that the police catch them and deport them, as far as As far as I am concerned, I think that this will be very difficult for the USA to control, because there is clearly a lot of migration, from Venezuela they go to Colombia and they prefer to go through the Darien jungle, which is so dangerous, but even so they are looking for the American dream, now if they put As a resource for the World Cup, they can easily stay in the USA with many Excuses, and since the US elections are coming in 2024, it will be Interesting how they are going to handle this.

We think about money and say that if we do not watch then they are going to lose money, but to be fair "some" people will watch anyway, was the last world cup the least watched world cup ever? I am not so sure but I doubt that and even if so, wasn't by a large margin. Why was it done then? I could say that they have been given bribery that would cover the difference, and that's the reason why they accepted Qatar so easily.

Let's say it was hosted at England, a pure football nation with so many amazing stadiums, all you could hope for is there, all is allowed, no cultural issues, drinks, clothes, whatever you want, how many more would watch, how much more money would they earn? I bet that Qatar paid the difference enough to make it there instead, we are talking about not just a few million, we are talking about BILLIONS of dollars.

if argentina wants to continue to develop stably then the argentina national team should focus on young players instead of continuing to play messi on the field even in the 2026 world cup later

but it all depends on the political situation of Argentinian football later because there will be differences of opinion in response to this, messi can still play in the world cup and he has the talent for that

If Lionel Messi had not joined PSG, he would have been able to give better performance by now if he had joined another club. Because I think Lionel Messi could not match himself in the PSG team. Hopefully Lionel Messi will join a good club next.

messi next destination is surly SPL and it will be clear in next few months and as discussed above SPL will be a force then

I don't think Argentina is looking to continue using Messi in their national team. It's basically all gone now, they won the world cup with him, that's him retiring in glory. There would be no sense for him to continue playing after that massive achievement, as it would be all down hill from there.

If Messi retires now, he would even get many deals in advertisements, etc, so he would be doing very well in terms of money. He should give some space to the new generation, he doesn't need the money from football, and Argentina doesn't need him any more as well.

Interesting concern but I believe that if anything, the USA knows how to handle these backdoor (illegal) immigration problems. They have had a plan ready probably by the time they submitted their application even when in the meantime a good couple of things changed. When they calculate the risk potential for people to come as fans with the intention to stay in the US, they know that it is happening either way and such an even won't really drive those numbers up. You could say the same of other sports events that happen near the boarder. These alternative routes as you mentioned through that jungle are hard to control not only during a World Cup, but at any time. The police presence will be significantly increased due to terrorism potential alone. It might not even be the best time to go for it as an immigrant from that perspective.

@nullama I agree that Messi should call it quits as he’s achieved his dream with Argentina and in 2026 the team can’t be playing as per his strength otherwise they’ll be eliminated quickly. Furthermore didn’t he say post the World Cup that he wants to play last few matches with Argentina and then call it quits so now why is he suddenly changing his mind and I hope that the Argentina coach can ask him to retire for the sake of the team.

Actually, when the USA first hosted the World Cup in 1994 it had an impact on the development of football there and became more famous because several great players became MLS as league which ended their career like David Beckham, but indeed the league and football in the USA is not or will be difficult more famous, such as in Europe or other American continent countries which are the main sports because USA citizens have their own different football and also basketball which are of great interest to their citizens.
So when the USA is re-elected along with two other countries, it is an election that usually hosts the World Cup on a different continent each time it is held, which might be a concern for how the USA national team will act, including Mexico, while Canada will have big doubts about how well they can go through the phase group.

Football fans will benefit the most from the next World Cup. Because maybe the next World Cup will not make the countries as difficult as the Qatar World Cup. This allows football fans to watch and enjoy every match with freedom.

Increasing the team that will be participating in the 2026 world cup football is going to make the tournament an interesting,  and countries hosting the world cup are very lively and fun countries  to be. The next world cup will be totally different and the competition won't be easy too because of the increased of team.

[Leviathan.007]

America is hosting the world cup again after years.
The last time they hosted the world cup was back in 1994 when Brazil's national team won the world cup and they had many famous players like Romario and there we had a great experience in 1994. Once again America hosting it and I hope to see the same.

In fact my personal opinion is that FIFA authorities can organize some friendly matches to encourage the teams who do not qualify or get a chance for the FIFA World Cup. By doing this, those teams will be very enthusiastic and will want to develop themselves in a better way to get a chance in the World Cup.

That is the great info - I will surly go check out details. Also there is no doubt about the point you have mentioned that USA will make the event very presentable and full of life.

We will see something new in the next World Cup. Although not able to host the World Cup in Qatar, FIFA would like to give football fans something new. However, football fans will get many benefits from Qatar in terms of rules and regulations.

If I remember correctly, the Latin American teams were very lucky in the World Championships on their continent and mostly unlucky outside of their time zone (Argentina won the World Cup for the first time in a "foreign" land). If this pattern continues, then Brazil will indeed have increased chances for the title, although in fact there, starting from the quarter-finals, the percentage of players playing in Europe will be close to 100.
