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

[TheGreatPython]

Interestingly it's been feeling like Argentina aren't that successful. But in reality the situation is the opposite.    Especially that World Cup title has made a huge impact on Argentina to climb places in FIFA Men's Ranking to top. Messi has really achieved all the things he can at the same time, even more than one of each - except the World Cup.

In my opinion, France needs to get rid of Deschamps. His game is so boring to watch, just as Southgate's was. Now Southgate has left England and I would like to see the same action from Deschamps if possible. 

46 years old Lionel Scaloni having amazing success with Argentinian side in last few years they won one FIFA World Cup and 2 Copa América which is surely big achievement for this coach which is having services of quality players which are giving their best in last few years and winning trophies even we all know this is not the strongest side of Argentina but still they are having good success.

France surely now need change because Deschamps is having no strong strategy even he is having quality players things are stuck up for them so they needed to be had new coach which bring changes and give them good motivation for the win in big events which they are missing in last few years hopefully things will be taken change, and we will have them back in better performance at the top.

Woah 257 pages on this and the tournament doesn’t start for 2 years. I guess we have qualifying to discuss though. It’s difficult to discuss who might win it because so much can change in two years. You would assume the usual suspects will have no problem qualifying though so we can still talk about who might win it.

Spain are a young team coming off the back of winning the Euros, they will be a force. Argentina are always there, will Messi still be playing though, at his age retirement must he close. Maybe this is his swan song and imagine going out after winning a second World Cup. The GOAT discussions would he over.

I feel like most of that is mainly because of last world cup. If you check when this topic started, you will see that a lot of people started to talk about this world cup because they saw the last one, and the hype was a real one. A lot of big clubs lost at the group stage, and the finals of 2022 world cup was one of the most famous world cup finals of recent memory, I can't remember any that went that close and that entertaining at the same time.

All in all, we have 2 more years, but we know the teams, and I think it is obvious that there are few that will do fine, and this is why people already talk about it. Along with that, there has been a lot of talks about Messi and Ronaldo as well, it is obvious that it will be their very last world cup, and even that's in question, 2 years is a long time, and they will be incredibly old when this happens, they will of course play, but they will be far from their prime, so it is going to be quite difficult to watch them like that.

In the end, when you combine last one, Messi/Rronaldo, qualifying and all that, then suddenly you start to have 250+ pages of people discussing all of these, and it makes it quite entertaining to chat about opposite ideas.

Currently, Lionel Scaloni become most success of Argentina's manager after wining back to back from FIFA World Cup 2022 and two years later success winning Copa America 2024.
Indeed have bad or internal issues with Lionel Messi on World Cup 2026 qualifier round but he can manage well his relationship with Lionel Messi and winning Copa America 2024 make Lionel Scaloni as the only one manager of Argentina have great achievement.

Argentina football federation have make true decision keep defend him as manager until FIFA World Cup 2026 and looking his potential will break record as he first manager success winning World Cup back to back? difference with France manager although success reach the final stage on World Cup 2022 but Deschamp have bad perform with France after failure become the winner of Euro 2024 in Germany.

I agree with you. The 2026 world cup is still very far away. We have to wait another two years and this will make this thread very long. There's a lot to discuss in this thread. I enjoy discussing the performance of several top national teams which have experienced a decline. Or about Messi Ronaldo. Many say the 2026 world cup will be their last dance before quitting football completely. But many are also skeptical and say that the second era is over now. Ronaldo will retire from the Portuguese national team after the euro and Messi also deserves to retire. He has achieved everything in football and his country.

It's still a long way to go for the 2026 world cup, but people are so excited to watch the world cup, it's amazing.
Messi and Ronaldo will definitely come to participate in the 2026 world cup despite their old age, I think they will play even though they are not given a long time because their age is already master and their performance will definitely slow down far from their golden age in the past, but I think to see the reputation and performance of Ronaldo and messi they will get a stage to compete even though they are old, unless they themselves refuse it.

And I totally agree that it's the last world cup that will cap their retirement.

If they participate in the 2026 World Cup (I was sure of this before but now I doubt it) it will be as bench/replacement players. The group stage will be complete garbage so the head coaches will have the opportunity to put them on the field (this will be of great interest to the tournament organizers since Ronaldo alone is the biggest sports brand in the world), but once the playoff stages begin I don’t think they will appear on the field for more than 10-15 minutes (and then only if the game goes in favor of the team).
