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

[KTChampions]

It's not about the "culture", it's not about religion neither, it's about politics. If Qatar wanted to, they could have let anyone be anyway they want, there was a woman who got famous (and that was her aim) by wearing clothes Qatar didn't want, and they didn't jail her for it, nothing really happened to her, which shows that they can let it be if they want to, did anything happen? But, I can guarantee you that there will be more people like that on the next one.

It is a controversial issue to compare Qatar with other Islamic countries - it is too rich a country and in fact there can be at least Islam, at least belief in aliens - there is no tension between different segments of the population because everyone is more or less rich. Now imagine a poorer country where religion is traditionally used to oppress the population. When holding such an event as the World Cup and such women (as I understand you were talking about that Croatian model with impressive forms), there can be an explosion from both fanatics and those who want a non-religious state and civil liberties.

[Leviathan.007]

Unfortunately I confess, this is true! lol Modric was onfire
An important point that was decisive for Croatia is that Brazil was extremely unresponsive after Croatia goal.
Brazil was destabilized and emotionally affected, especially on penalties

Apart from Luka Modric, there are four other players who also played a role in helping Croatia finish third at the Qatar World Cup. Brazil, which is considered a strong candidate at the Qatar World Cup, had to admit Croatia's superiority through a penalty shoot-out after a draw in normal and extra time. LOL

I confess don't have a definite answer
I believe... in 2026 it could be Neymar's last cup.
And I also imagine, the 2022 World Cup was the last one for Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi (although, they still have physical preparation and a lot of technique and skill

Brazil has always been able to produce talented players in any position and if you look at the age of Neymar at this time then the 2026 world cup will be the last. Because at this time many other young players are showing almost the same quality as Neymar and they just need the opportunity to play and maybe Copa America will be a place for young players to gain the trust of coaches.

At least if in the future World Cup Neymar is still the player of choice, they can enter as a substitute in the squad and I don't think the quality of Brazilian players need to be doubted, but usually young players who are owned by Brazil are more emotional and cannot control their emotions during play, so coaches should try to give them opportunities when the time is right and have senior players guiding them.

But I didn't think if Brazil got enough good players for the next world cup and I feel worried about them because their famous players like Neymar are not in a good situation at all he is also getting old which can be a reason to say Brazil will bot strong team in next world cup unless something changes.

It's not about the "culture", it's not about religion neither, it's about politics. If Qatar wanted to, they could have let anyone be anyway they want, there was a woman who got famous (and that was her aim) by wearing clothes Qatar didn't want, and they didn't jail her for it, nothing really happened to her, which shows that they can let it be if they want to, did anything happen? But, I can guarantee you that there will be more people like that on the next one.

The question is not public, it's government based and if government allows people then nothing changes and it can be exactly the same anywhere, it's all about the laws. I think 2026 will be pretty amazing, we are going to see football and fans as it should be, I don't want to see hooligans, but I also do not want to see this neither, and USA is the middle of it, just cheering and that's about it, nothing major I believe.

I agree with you, it's not because of the religion and even their culture, Qatar made many mistakes while their culture and traditions are also against it.

This is very funny to me because I can't still understand what you mean that Quatar killed a lot for workers just to build a shiny stadium. Many of the countries that had been hosting the world cup always build a stadium for it because they know that it will bring center if attraction to them and make people that likes to go on vacation to see good reasons of coming to there country for flexing and holiday. Since the United States and Canada would be hosting the world cup, I hope to see impressive stadium and enough space for people to enjoy themselves.

Well, the US and Mexico already have hosted the world cup in the past, so I guess the pressure of new stadiums would be mostly for Canada.

Even though there will be only a few matches in Canada and Mexico, most of the matches are going to be in the US, which already have a reasonable amount of stadiums.

I don't think there will be many new stadiums built for that world cup.

I don't know about that but just like what you have said, only few games will be played in both Canada and Mexico so they might stick to what they have instead of building stadiums that will probably waste them more money instead of benefitting from the event, but maybe there will be some few changes in their existing stadiums like increasing the capacities if they can and make it more luxurious as not every time they can host such event.

The main host is America because compared to the two other countries they have more facilities and they have a better potential for the world cup, two other countries will just be America because there will be more teams and more games in the next world cup.

[Rabata]

In the last world cup, I think FIFA understood they made a bad decision when they let a country like Qatar host the world cup because Qatar spends lots of money and they killed many workers just to build shiny stadiums while in fact, the games we saw from TV are really dirty and that's why I hope to see other countries hosting world cups with more potential instead of countries lie Qatar.
However, this time America can be a great host for the world cup because they hosted the world cup once years ago.

You are aware that the history of the dead workers are just hyped by western media driven by politics? You can just look at the workers in whatever place you want and see their conditions, try to find some informations from Paris Olympic games and how they are treated.. Just to remind you that France criticised badly Qatar but they aren't any better.
For USA, the situation is not any better and getting the challenge to host the World Cup is very courageous although things changed a lot from like 1/4 century to now.

I agree with you about the deaths of construction workers. Just look at the statistics from big construction projects in other countries to see that the media has specifically touched on the subject of the World Cup in Qatar. But I have no doubts that the World Cup will be held at the highest level in America. I am sure that the next World Cup will be one of the best in recent years.

Every country tries to represent their country as the host of World Cup football. Due to which every country spends a huge amount of money. No such initiative has been taken in Islamic countries before. Due to which, from the beginning, there were many doubts about how successful Qatar will be as a football host for the World Cup 2022. Though Qatar was successful in that respect, the issue that comes up is at that time, many workers died during the preparation of the stadium that is much higher than in other countries. I don't think America or Europe will have such a picture of hosting a Football World cup. Working there using technology will improve the quality of work as well as workers can be safe. The most important thing is that there is no need to build a new football stadium that was not in Qatar.

The questions raised about Qatar weren't really about their ability to host a World Cup in general, but the methods used and the policies implemented to build the infrastructure for the World Cup. Money isn't a problem, human rights are a problem. Human dignity is a problem. When a country can or regime can build infrastructure for hundreds of billions of dollars, why can't the people building that infrastructure be paid reasonably and be treated fairly and with respect? Why do their passports get seized in order to prevent them from leaving the country? What about all the issues in terms of free speech and gender equality?

I agree with one thing though and that was stupid. People worldwide started complaining when the World Cup was around the corner and not in the moment when it was granted to Qatar. But maybe the hope was that Qatar will use the chance and build the infrastructure under fair conditions for everyone. Mission failed.

I am more than happy to see the combination of Mexico, Canada and USA host this World Cup as I also like a lot that it is not only North America, but also South America as part of the representative group. It's a great mix of countries that promises a lot of enthusiasm for the whole event. Lots of people have the chance to visit the stadiums and feel the vibes right around the corner if they can't get a ticket. That is how it should be.

In fact, if the World Cup is held in three countries at the same time, football fans will enjoy the weather of three countries. This will be of great benefit to the travel enthusiasts. However, we football fans hope that the next World Cup will be more magnificent than the Qatar World Cup.

It is 100% going to be easy to get visa if you have a ticket.

You have no idea about the US visa system. A few years back, my B1 visa was put on hold for 6 months, just because of some administrative formalities. And many of my friends have faced difficulties with different types of visa. If you are a citizen of some of the developed nations, then it is relatively easy for you to get your hands on a US visa. But if you are from countries such as India and Pakistan, then it takes a lot of background checks and additional verifications to get a visa approved. In short, having a valid ticket doesn't guarantee you a US visa.  

you are very right - I agree with you! It not easy to achieve the US visa and there are so many things which can hinder in you and your USA visa.
Things will be very difficult when it will be USA and Canadian visa.

That is expected because not everyone can or is allowed to enter their countries without such valid reasons or proper requirements. Also, even if there are some requirements laid for almost everyone, it is still not that easy to acquire it because there are still other factors that they should consider before giving the visa. Especially if you're someone from the third world country.

The US is so huge that they have vastly different weather in the same country. New York would have snow and someone in California would be at the beach. Completely different experiences.

Canada and Mexico are even more extreme, but I don't think they are really needed to experience a difference in weather with a huge country like the US.

Qatar is a small Muslim-majority country in the Middle East whose economic condition is so good that they are able to successfully host such a big tournament as the football World Cup. Qatar World Cup 2022 has not only successfully organized but also broken all previous World Cup records. But after spending such a huge amount of money, they told FIFA directly that they cannot do any anti-Islamic work. He took all the possible steps to keep their religion right. Qatar imposed some restrictions on girls' clothing, which is why Colombian singer Shakira did not attend the opening ceremony of the World Cup, and she criticized Qatar's decision to do so. Regardless of these things, the World Cup in Qatar ended successfully.

There is some truth to what you say, but here I actually think that the 3 countries that will host the World Cup are adjacent countries so that the climate of the three countries looks almost the same so there is no need to adapt to the weather there.
Even though it will move places, I am sure that the distribution of matches in each country will be implemented by FIFA so that each team that will compete does not need to move from one country to another every time just to compete.
After all, the weather isn't an excuse that can make it difficult for a soccer team to take part in the World Cup.

I don't think because of the USA will be among the host country of the FIFA World Cup that will make getting visa to be very easy , because if they make their visa to be very easy to get people will use it as a opportunity to gain access into the country. despite FIFA World Cup it will still be strict to get visa to USA.

For any country there are some rules when you want to take a visa and visit that country, that's the same for America, Canada, and many other countries. But in some cases, including America, they will make harder rules to make sure about the visitors who come to this country to make their people safe, I think even with all these hard rules they have, still, America will make some changes and allow people from all over the world to visit this country to watch the world cup games.

The United States has experience of holding major sports tournaments, 3x holding the summer Olympics which also invites many people into their country, and being the second for the World Cup so they already understand very well how to reduce illegal immigrants who might damage security or who actually come there other than to watching football also has other intentions such as becoming an illegal worker, but making visa arrangements very strict will reduce the number of people who will watch the match while one of the income they are after from organizing this world cup is the presence of many spectators directly at the stadium, so I don't know what which they would do but would have had definite rules in place to keep everyone happy.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Especially for Canada it is a gift from heaven that they can now participate in the final tournament again. Qualifying on your own would be possible, but it would also be a very difficult story because the competition in North America is very large. And South America is of course many times stronger, in that respect you still have the advantage of being with North America. In South America you would be fairly out of luck. Countries like Colombia are also having a hard time qualifying for the World Cup. But won't Mexico also want to achieve a great success again? A number of top players but semi-finals are no longer reached.

Although I didnot get what you are trying to say.
But for America and Canada a lot of people will apply for visa and they are not going to
come back for sure!

This is more than anything for the People of the third world, but do not believe that things are like that, many of those who have gone to the USA and see that the American dream is only a mirage that they have been asked through the movies, well they are being returned, I have many friends, friends who have made this old in the USA and the rate of exploitation that they give them is something Unbearable, because they Cannot cope with the system or with the way of working that they Implement there, For this Reason many of those who have left have returned , they say that it is preferable to work here than there , where they do not have a Single Day Off.

That's true but finals or knockout games sometimes have their own laws to a certain degree. The game between France and Argentina could have also ended differently. There we so many minor things that in the ended went in favor of Argentina, but I do think that they are the deserved winner. France was too passive for too long during that final game.

At the World Cup 2026 I expect a French national team that is more awake and focused on the moment. In 2022 they also slowed down in the game against Morocco where it didn't really look like a typical France game. They were behind or even in all statistics except for goals. Morocco had 62% ball possession and higher passing accuracy. Since we are talking about France here, that is not quite normal.

But with this loss in the back of their heads they are now looking forward to their next chance and avoid the mistakes they made last time.

The World Cup in Qatar it was a watershed (in my opinion)
I could never imagine that a country with Muslim traditions could host an event like the World Cup.

In 2026, I'm almost sure that several national teams will surprise the whole world.
Year after year, countries around the world are taking football seriously as a serious sport.
They are training more, some countries are investing in football and teaching young people and children to practice this sport.

In my life I would never have imagined that Morocco would be able to participate in a World Cup semi-final (I'm not putting it down, but that was something unbelievable)
Germany was easily eliminated and had a poor performance in the 2018 and 2022 cup.
Italy did not participate in the last world cups (2018-2022)
Croatia beating Brazil sensationally (2022)

I will be very curious to know how the 2026 world cup will be!
I have no doubt that we will have several surprises, and I am sure that several teams will be more prepared and evolved in relation to this last world cup that we had.

Indeed, the World Cup in Qatar was a game-changer, quite literally! It shattered stereotypes and paved the way for more inclusivity in football. But wouldn't you agree that the rise of the underdogs is not an isolated incident but part of a global trend? The convergence of technology, improved infrastructure, and strategic investment in football academies worldwide is narrowing the traditional power gap. As a result, countries previously considered "minnows" in football are causing major upsets. Remember Iceland's run in Euro 2016? Unforgettable, wasn't it? Your mention of Morocco and Croatia brings to mind a broader question: Are the glory days of the traditional football powerhouses fading? With Italy's absence and Germany's underperformance, it seems that the playing field is leveling. I reckon the 2026 World Cup could turn out to be the most competitive yet. A football lover's delight, wouldn't you say?

The next World Cup will not feel like Qatar. Because Qatar has been able to extract a lot of money from the World Cup. We really don't know how FIFA organizes the next World Cup but we as football fans will want to get something new.

That is very true, but I remember that in the TV programs that said that they did not expect an ROI, but rather the opposite that they wanted to demonstrate was their wealth and how beautiful the country of QATAR is, everything related to their business was intrinsically included. culture, with their way of life and with what being their people includes, in addition to always emphasizing that they did not pay taxes, and that there were all kinds of possibilities to set up their businesses as long as they contributed development to their country, there are endless There are many things that can be done in Qatar as long as you Respect their rules , their conditions , their culture.

But in some cases, including America, they will make harder rules to make sure about the visitors who come to this country to make their people safe, I think even with all these hard rules they have, still, America will make some changes and allow people from all over the world to visit this country to watch the world cup games.

I am from Indonesian and my country has good bilateral relationship with United State and Canada make us easy for getting visa, many our people in United State and seems excited for us watching FIFA World Cup 2026 in Canada, USA and Mexico. I hope my country has miracle for qualifying to FIFA World Cup 2026 and right now spent my money for preparing to travelling there. Actually, not easy getting visa for United State because they are most selective tourism visit their country, lucky for any country has good bilateral relations with United State exactly has country get free for getting visa for one month there.

With Messi moving to Miami , I do have confidence that he will be playing at the next WC , especially that he will know all the pitches by then and having extra info even if the age won't forgive Messi but I would like to see him playing one more WC. Now , can Argentina win it again ? I doubt it because believe it or not , England looks the strongest team on the planet right now , because they do have a lot of young talented players with massive experience in both WC , EC but also UCL and Premier League.

Why do you think that because of playing in America, Messi will have less chance to perform at the next world championship? On the contrary, the American soccer league is less demanding than the European soccer league and this may help Messi play longer and extend his soccer career. After all, even though he plays in Saudi Arabia, Ronaldo still plays for Portugal.
Along with Brazil and France, Argentina is always among the favorites at every World Cup and that will not change.
England is a strong national team? Yes, their clubs are strong at the moment, but because of the large number of quality foreigners playing in England, while the national team still hasn't achieved any great result in a major competition.

Messi has already joined Miami. It can be understood that Messi's first creation in this club is considering everything about his performance, maybe Messi will decide whether to play the next World Cup or not.

That is correct. Saudis are crazy for football so are Portugal and Brazil
Messi has made all his fans upset by going to intermiami - but we are looking fwd to see how it unfolds. Ronaldo has been living like a king in Saudia he has been treated with great respect and love. Had Messi been part of SPL it would be a great surprize for all the fans.

That is correct. Saudis are crazy for football so are Portugal and Brazil
Messi has made all his fans upset by going to intermiami - but we are looking fwd to see how it unfolds. Ronaldo has been living like a king in Saudia he has been treated with great respect and love. Had Messi been part of SPL it would be a great surprize for all the fans.

Sure enough that nobody have been expecting nor saw that coming because if I recall it correctly, neither of the signs were pointing at the Inter Miami CF as people and rumors have been suspecting that it's either Messi will join Ronaldo in Saudi or he will go back to Barcelona until the day of his retirement. But that didn't happen and safe enough to say that people are curious why Miami has been chosen for the legend.

In a few countries in Europe we have now reached quite warm temperatures, imagine that during the World Cup in these countries the weather is this hot every day, with possible peaks towards 45 degrees. Is that actually still responsible for playing football? In Qatar they did a good job there by building air conditioning systems in the football stadiums so that you can simulate a nice cool climate. America can prepare optimally for this tournament and has the great advantage that they do not have to play qualifying matches.
