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

[bangjoe]

Let's have a look at all-time title winners first...



Brazil are at the top of the list but it's a shame that they can't even make it to the final for a really long time. Since the last time they won the WC in 2002 I should say...

How is this final going to end? Argentina to make their number of trophies equal to Germany and Italy? Or Spain to get their 2nd WC trophy? I believe in Spain to become the champions.  

Brazil and Germany do not have a good coach to make the players they have can play a very good match like before or it can be said that the regeneration that has occurred in this country is less satisfactory lately, especially Italy even who did not qualify, we need to question What is happening with them, or do they lack players or coaches who can really take them to their heyday?

Argentina most likely get their 4th trophy in the year now, seeing how they do it we know that, they always get victory after defeat and that's what keeps many other teams in silence by Argentina so far.

To be honest this World Cup proved to us that we can never predict football and if anyone say he can predict football it’s a big lie because there is nothing everyone did not say about France and Brazil in this World Cup because they have a good squad and they have been playing well since the group stage, this World Cup also shows that the World Cup has lost it’s credibility because many countries complain about the officiating and how some teams have been favoured.

Both Argentina and Spain can win the World Cup because they have been the team’s with a good performance in this tournament, Argentina and Messi have been making a comebacks in many games and Spain has been winning their games with a good performance, both team can dominate the game but Spain has a good midfield than Argentina but Argentina also have Messi and his boys that can do anything to make them win the title.

I've never thought about looking at the statistics on the number of World Cups won before. It's funny that Italy has four, even Uruguay has two, which surprised me the most, and Spain has only one... Of course, Spain now has a chance to win a second one, but honestly considering everything, I think Argentina will most likely win their fourth.

The top 3 teams that have the most trophies in the World Cup are in really bad shape including for Italy because even they didn't qualify 3 times in a row now so in the end this looks just like the asylum of the past with their respective eras of glory.
Brazil in the last few seasons lost their trademark because the philosophy of the game changed and even just in the last few seasons we can see Brazil crossing as a pedestal for attack in contrast to the previous era where they always danced on the field.

The loss of Joachim Low and the lack of a target man for their squad makes Germany like a normal club even though the quality of players is still above average but the pattern of their game and attack scheme is not enough to make a change.
At the moment Argentina and Spain, I think Spain are more attractive for their future talents but Argentina losing Messi will destroy them later even though they will still be very good in terms of performance but they will not be as scary as now in the future.

Why are you surprised that Italy has four ? Italy has always been a force not to be reckoned with in football, the Italian mafians team have been on the top face of football so long and it's just a pity that they are currently struggling so badly this time around because Italy has produced and also house some of the greatest names of football in their league, I mean a country where the first balloon door winner who is a defender came from. Italy has a heritage that the current status of the national team is showing disgrace and it's worse because they are looking like it's gonna even take long for them to return to their glory days.

in short, Spain goes out to play football, while Argentina goes out to win the trophy...

Both teams are equally good from his game, but the key to Argentina's good performance so far this World Cup lies with Messi. The problem was, it was too difficult to stop Messi and his creativity throughout the game and he almost always found a way to break free and contribute to Argentina's victory. England and several other teams have so far tried everything to stop Messi, but they have completely failed and Messi can always prove himself to be the best for his team.

I think Spain really know what they have to do to beat Argentina in the final, of course it's not enough with high ball possession. Spain should really be able to stop Messi's creativity, but they shouldn't ignore other players either. Personally I want Spain to win the title, but whoever wins it is not a big deal for me either. I like these two teams, of course, because this is the final I was hoping for. If Argentina is really able to win in the final, then it is difficult for other players to break the record of Messi et al.

Argentina is definitely not a team to be underestimated. they might not be putting on a great performance but knowing that other teams aren't playing well either, they somehow force them into making mistakes.

Messi can carry the team just by walking and the other players have adapted well to this system. they perform as if they're about to lose but once the opposing team scores and drops back into defense, Argentina strikes like a Komodo dragon in the final minutes of the match suddenly injecting their venom and quickly devouring their prey alive.

[Hypnotizer]

At least I’m confident France will beat England in the match for third place. England is also a strong team but France was originally one of the favorites to win this World Cup. But well, we have to admit that Spain is stronger than France. Spain even beat France by a pretty convincing margin.

France are sure favorite to take the bronze since the couldn’t secure the final against Spain which had a better team structure in that match but against England I think they’ll perform better and Mbappe wouldn’t probably score to add to his goal tally to secure the Golden boots again in this tournament.

In the France vs. England match I’m rooting for France. Hopefully, I won’t change my mind.
As for the Spain vs. Argentina match, I’m still not sure. But I hope Spain can win and become the champion in this World Cup.

For the Winner I’m going with Argentina, I just have a feeling they’ll win this World Cup and with alll these things happening I’m sure rooting for them to win but the Golden boot…it’s now between Mbappe and Messi.

Italy has lost its elite status, the four-time World Cup winner and the first team to win two consecutive World Cups now does not get the opportunity to play in the World Cup, this is certainly very surprising. The current young generation may not have much idea about Italy, they still do not want to believe that Italy has four World Cups. Even the Italian club AC Milan that has won 7 Champions Leagues, many do not want to believe, many are surprised by the achievements of Juventus. Now the form of the two best clubs in Italy is not there and the form of Italy is not there. Both have lost their elite status.

If Germany does not find their form soon, then maybe the next generation will question them too. Many will be surprised to see the statistics of their 4 World Cup wins.

Argentina has definitely made a huge impact in this tournament. The players are marching towards the trophy with Messi. Despite his advancing age in football, Messi is managing to carry his team. The best part is that it's still a pleasure to watch him. He can create a great opportunity in an instant, and thanks to him, Argentina scored two goals and beat England in the semi-final. Just saying that is a pleasure. Messi is a magnificent player, and with his great team, they will try to win the trophy by beating Spain once again in the final. Honestly, I'm already looking forward to watching this final match.

You know very well this is not true. You can't blame Brazil team incompetence because of Anceloti, he wasn't the reason why the team missed so much opportunity. They were given two penalties in their last game, if they scored the both, the would have gone extra time to make another attempt to win but they couldn't, he did everything right for that team, I can't say the same for Germany, they were not too ready for that match they played for extra minutes.

Argentina is getting that trophy whether they like it or not, it's not a game to decide it's what Argentina has already decided. They might want to be tough but I have not seen any team in this world cup that can stop Messi. Even the teams that were tough than Spain couldn't stop them, cape Verde were the closest that gave them tough headache but they couldn't still do it regardless of the way they played.

Thia year's FIFA World Cup left many football fans across the globe surprised, maybe that's the beauty of this edition of the FIFA World Cup.

I was expecting Brazil to at least reach the semi finals but surprisingly, they were eliminated from the competition in the round 16.

I also expected France who were destroying teams effortlessly to reach the final but surprisingly, they couldn't make it after Spain defeated them.

Argentina I think are the favorites to win the tournament but Spain I also think has all it takes to win it.

man Argentina is truly a passionate team. i can see this passion in everything from their dedication on the pitch to their interviews. that’s why throughout history, while European countries have always produced successful men, Latin America produces legends...

in Argentina, football is a passion. those guys deserve it. there isn't a single player who doesn't give it his all or put his heart and soul into the game.

[bitgolden]

The luck of the world, these two clubs were about to face in Finalissimo, and it did not happen, and now they are going to face here instead.

I really love the match up, while some people are angry about it, no idea why would anyone feel angry of a game, world cup is not our life, we should not feel angry about something that is not about our life at all, but they are. But I am not, I am happy, this is the team that went unbeaten for a 36 games in a row, plus the other team is the last world cup champion.

[Webutxo]

Of course, Spain now has a chance to win a second one, but honestly considering everything, I think Argentina will most likely win their fourth.

I don't care about the result that other countries has won the World cup before. What matters to me is that Argentina are winning every game they played and that makes me happy for watching the game and when I have small money, I stake the money to win something and if my prediction is wrong, then I go for the next games that is pending, so far the experience I had in the world cup is close to none, the best in my generation I must say.

I don't think Lamine Yamal will be able to win the Word cup because by performance, they are not up to what Argentina will do. They are good in their own ways if you ask me but there is no way, I'm saying it with confidence that Argentina will win this match no matter how hard Spain try, they have come a very long way to stop here.

in Argentina, football is a passion. those guys deserve it. there isn't a single player who doesn't give it his all or put his heart and soul into the game.

In as much as I don't want to say this, I must admit the fact that Argentina has been doing pretty well,  as a team they have been excellent.

The game against Spain will be wild both teams with an excellent team play will be challenging and in the end one must be the victor. Although their journey has been quite different but we can see the resilience of both teams and how well they have performed, getting every crucial win.

Yes of course, they are doing very well, because if they were not doing well, they wouldn't have come back against the pharaohs of Egypt or against the three lions of England. In this world cup competition so far, their is no team that has shown much fighting spirit than them, so they are doing very well, and equally disappointing all their haters that just want them to fail, because Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal team are out of the competition.

I think that the Spanish team are stronger in possession than the Argentine team, but possession alone will win you nothing if they are not doing anything with the ball.

In recent news, the game for the 3rd place is a the risk of getting delayed due to the forecasted thunderstorm in Miami, while the final game in New York could be impacted by poor air quality caused by massive wildfires in Canada. Apparently White House officials will meet (if they haven't already) with Gianni Infantino to discuss any potential health hazards.

Trump wouldn't be himself if he didn't use this opportunity to lash out on Canada. He said:

"We are holding Canada responsible for the fact that they are not properly maintaining their Forests, and Brush therein, and the United States is being unnecessarily invaded by filthy, polluted, and unhealthy air, the quality of which is dangerous, and totally unacceptable!
"I will call the Prime Minister during the day to find out what they are going to do about it. The cost is incalculable!"
"Canada has refused to engage in basic Forest Management and Debris Removal, knowing that such refusal will lead to exactly this result.
"This is Willful Negligence, and becoming a yearly occurrence, costing the United States Billions of Dollars, which cost of this pollution must of necessity be added to the TARIFFS Canada is currently paying."

Argentina did great job, and this showed it had a very strong team in the field. The game with Spain will definitely offer the world football masterpiece. Both the parties have the psychological strength to prevail in spite of the difficult conditions. The final result is dependent on concentration of the players during the game. I wish to have a beautiful match with so many beautiful goals.

[LUCKMCFLY]

I don't want Argentina to win the world cup again I want Spain to win the world cup, but I cannot predict who is going to win the world cup it is actually unpredictable because Argentina and Spain are both in the same form, but honestly I want Spain to win it this time around they deserve it more than Argentina since Argentina has already lifted it in the last world cup, so Spain are the ones I am supporting, Spain should put everything they have in this world cup all the team members should be serious with the match from the beginning till the end they should not give in to weakness if they really want to lift the world cup.

If it were up to me, I'd say Argentina would win, but seeing that they're winning with help is something I don't like. I think it's a matter of something like sporting pride, but you'll see there will be refereeing decisions in favor of Argentina. What I am sure of is that Infantino won't be re-elected as FIFA president; he'll be ridiculed. That much is clear.

Argentina has a team spirit that always makes them not to give up until the end of the game this team possessed much energy when the game has less than 15 minutes to stoppage time, against England i was thinking it will end in extra time or even a penalty shot out but everything ended without going to an extra time Argentina team has been consistent getting every important win at the injury time of every game. The final is going to be another wonderful game Argentina shouldn't wait till last minute as they always do Spain might not be a defensive side like England but no matter how it may be one side will come out victorious.
