Although Neymar, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have not yet officially decided to retire, their retirement is almost certain. Earlier, the World Cup meant Neymar, Messi, Ronaldo, but whenever I imagine the World Cup without these three, the World Cup stage feels empty to me. Although several young and talented players are performing well at various club levels, apart from Messi, Neymar and Ronaldo, if the best performers in the 2026 World Cup are considered, Mbappe's name, Erling Haaland, Marcus Rashford will be on the list of the best. But it remains to be seen whether Erling Haaland's Norwegian can qualify for the 2026 World Cup

We should not focus on old players like Messi and Ronaldo. It doesn't matter how they shine in the past, there are many other players who can have better performances than these players also I think all the three players you mentioned will be retired before the world cup.

But it remains to be seen whether Erling Haaland's Norwegian can qualify for the 2026 World Cup
I am not sure about Messi, I mean he would be 38 years old, Ronaldo just played around that age for the last world cup, and I do agree that he wasn't really all that helpful and that is why Messi may not be that helpful neither but he did play, so Messi may end up playing as well. He is Messi, he will play until he no loner could play, dude is loved by all in Argentina, he won something that they couldn't win for so many years now, he is considered at same light as Maradona, he is untouchable, if he says he will play, he will be listed, any manager who benches him would have hard time. Dude could play on the world cup after that one and he would still be listed.

Ronaldo on the other hand would be too old, and there is a chance he may not play, he was benched last time, so it could be time for him to retire.
Since Lionel Messi has no more achievements left, 2022 World Cup might be his last World Cup. Even if he continues to play at the club level, this successful star will probably retire from the Argentina national team before the World Cup. Because the way Argentina got success in 2022 World Cup, maybe it won't get success in 2026 World Cup. And Messi would certainly want people to remember him for his success.

If Messi plays in the 2026 World Cup and if he does not perform well in that World Cup, many people will make many comments about Lionel Messi. He certainly does not want anyone to make bad comments about him.  
So maybe he will announce the end of his career for the national team through the Copa America.  

But if it was like this, Messi, Neymar, Cristiano Ronaldo played the 2026 World Cup in three stars and performed well in three stars, then the 2026 World Cup would be really complete.

Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are likely to officially retire from the national team. However, I see Neymar's chances somewhat less. Because Neymar is much younger than the two players, but the game of football depends a lot on performance. Let's see what happens.

Regarding the 2026 world cup, I am thinking about which players will be best for the cup and which players will perform well. In the previous world cups we were waiting to see good performances from Messi and Ronaldo but this time both players are getting old and they won't be able to have good performances on the field, I guess this time other younger players like Mbappe, Haaland, and Bellingham will shine.
More than anything I'm waiting to see how Haaland is going to perform for his national team in the world cup if they get qualified. Because the last time Norway qualified for the world cup was back in 1998 world cup in France,

Brazil's top football governing body, the CBF, confirmed the friendly match between the two African nations as part of an anti-apartheid campaign in support of Vinicius Jr. On June 17, Brazil's opponent Guinea will play in the first match in Barcelona, and the Selecao will play against Senegal in the second match in Lisbon 3 days later. The FIFA president and the CBF have been cracking down on racism since Vinny's racist behavior on the pitch in Valencia last Sunday. Apart from being tough on racism, more punitive measures should be taken so that people don't spoil this beautiful game with heinous practices like racism.
I would like to say a little differently that the Brazilian team is likely to be the favorite in the next World Cup. Because the Brazil team has so many young players who are currently playing in the best clubs, these players will be able to develop great maturity in themselves by the time the next World Cup comes, which will hopefully make the Brazil team an impossibly strong team.

One thing that is unique about the 2026 FIFA World Cup: Canada/Mexico/United States for my country Indonesia because the time to watch the match is different. Usually we watch football matches in European leagues in the afternoon and evening, but football in the Americas is broadcast in the morning. All League in American continent play in the morning in my country time and I can't predicting what happen later if FIFA World Cup 2026 will play in the early morning and we are still sleeping  Grin.

What about your country when watching FIFA World Cup 2026 will watch in the evening, night or in the morning time like in my country.

The Qatar games had a good schedule for me here in Brazil too, they were all during the day and it was still possible to take time off from work to watch the games (at least until Brazil was eliminated).

I've been watching here, even in the next edition of FIFA games, most of the world will be able to watch them at a very suitable time... during the day or early evening. Very few regions may have the inconvenience of having games taking place during the early hours of the morning or early morning in their time zone.

FIFA always finds a way to adjust game schedules in the host country in order to best benefit the rest of the world.

During group stage, usually there will be three matches occurring per day. During Qatar 2022, most of the matches were held during the evening, because of weather conditions. However in the next edition, FIFA may spread out the matches, and at least some of the matches may be held during morning. And this will enable fans in Asia-Pacific to watch them live once they are back from their study/work. BTW, US-Canada comprise of several time zones and there is a 3 hour difference between Eastern time and Pacific time within the US (fortunately they haven't scheduled any matches in Alaska and Hawaii).
You're right, the idea is that people worldwide can watch it live and direct, honestly when the World Cup in Korea and Japan was held , I didn't mind getting up early to watch those games, however I'm one of those who doesn't like to get up early and still I did , this kind of thing is done to love fútbol, I am sure that in Asia there must be many who get up early or stop doing some things to be able to watch football matches, Sometimes things have to be done like this , like this be quite Sleepy all day.


The time zone difference always have its role in the viewership of a match. The previous season of FIFA used to end late night, but for most people that used to be the right time. They do all their routine and end up watching good football match. Similar scenario doesn't happen all around, the difference in time makes it bad for some to watch the matches. I don't watch much of football, but the previous FIFA made me continue watching more. All because of the unexpected results on few matches and the excitement that the country people had after the win.

By the standards of most of the inhabitants belonging to Western Civilization, this is not a country, but a savage dump. I have nothing against the fact that the abodes of such dumps, in turn, consider the inhabitants of countries belonging to Western Civilization to be bad guys, but why the hell push together two different civilizations? Football after all is mostly developed in countries with a certain culture - why hold top competitions in sludge with caveman ideas about women, etc.?
Money, that's your answer it is always about the money. The culture of west and east do not collide well together, you can see people from Europe having no trouble at Russia or even china or japan, they are as east as it goes but when we are talking about Qatar, or many other Middle East nations, we are talking about cultures differentiate from the west and that's going to be obviously an issue for some people.

But when you offer enough money, then there is nothing that Fifa wouldn't accept. Why wouldn't they, they are a private company in the end, they are called "organization" but they are a company, they have balance sheet, they have profits and losses, and we are talking about a ton of individuals who would be paid handsomely as well. So the answer is always the same; money.

There is something interesting about the fact that America has accounted for which cities will host the world cup and if you look at the cities and especially the timezone, you will notice that there are a lot of differences between the western and east sides of America. This can make managing this a little harder because if you look at the map below, there will be 16 different locations in America where the matches are to be held.

Some persons are already planning how they can outsmart US immigrations to overstay their visas. They have started raising funds to finance their visas, accommodation, and other expenses. Some have even joined the supporters club of their countries hoping that their nation will qualify for the competition. They don't intend to go and enjoy the competition but to remain in the US. The US has so many points of illegal entry because of its size and this is going to cause a big problem to the nation. Many people will use the opportunity to illegally enter the country.

Most people will not want to remain in Qatar but the US is most people's dreamland. I think the US would be able to set certain standards for tourist Visa applicants and certain measures should be put in place to monitor these tourists.

As I understand it, in order to stay in the USA, you don’t need to be a genius or James Bond - the main problem is to enter there, and then you can live there illegally for many years but still have a job, a driver’s license, etc. everything you need for life. Maybe now everything is getting tougher, but it used to be like this - my friend, for example, came to the USA on a student visa and ended up staying there for 8 years and left of his own free will. He probably could have stayed longer if he wanted to.

This is going to a big headache for USA to host world cup may be by 2026 new technologies will be in reach for keeping tracks of tourists and locating them to avoid any illegal activities.
Obviously USA can't stop people from coming for watching their favourite teams bit Obviously they'll will working on this thing more than their stadium to avoid any problem at that time .

Illegal immigration (through the Mexican border) is one of the hot topics being discussed right now in the United States. Given this, I am sure that they will take all the necessary precautions to avoid football fans from overstaying in the US. But the problem is that genuine fans also may get impacted, especially if they are from third world nations such as India and Indonesia. Even if they have a valid ticket, it is going to take a lot of effort to get the tourist visa. At least some of the fans are going to miss the tournament as a result of the visa issues.
Lol than they should start working on chips to attach it with people who are coming for world cup so that they don't get lost in USA. 
Definitely this is going to be a big concern for Americans to relax their visa policies for tourists to welcome fifa in their country.
This is a without a doubt going to be one of the greatest challenges that is going to be encountered during the next world cup, the US wants to strengthen their border security, and we must remember that while the dramatic images that we see on the news is the largest source of immigration to the US, at the same time there are many other people which try their chances by trying to gain entry to the US through airports and as such it is going to be a tremendous challenge for the US to relax their policies enough to not affect the fans.

Now FIFA has their own rules. They care more about money and not about the rules. There is a documenty about FIFA that there is so much money involved in all that
If FIFA is more concerned with money, why didn't FIFA choose Saudi Arabia as the host of the World Cup because Saudi Arabia itself has sufficient accommodation and finances to be able to make the World Cup the best after Qatar.
You are giving unreasonable assumptions buddy.
I know FIFA has its own rules and nobody can change them but this is all to increase the love and prominence of the sport of football in every country so it can't be said just for money.

Back then several factors came up for consideration. One of the arguments that favored Qatar was that the middle-east has never hosted the FIFA World Cup before. FIFA is quite interested in expansion of the sport outside Europe and Latin America, and after the 2002 edition (which was hosted by Japan and South Korea), they used the 2022 edition as a stepping stone to one of the unexplored regions. I would still like the FIFA to give an opportunity to either China or India to host one of the editions of the World Cup. These two nations comprise one-third of the global population, and they are yet to host this tournament.
China and India are densely populated countries and don't really prioritize the sport of football so if you want to host one of them as the host of the World Cup you have to prepare well in advance so that there are improvements and efforts made so that spectators and players from various countries feel comfortable when compete and lived there for some time.
I don't know whether this option is a good one or not, but I think that with more and more countries that have never hosted the World Cup becoming World Cup hosts, the love for football in these countries will also increase.
However, considering that China and India are densely populated countries and have insufficient football facilities, maybe FIFA will consider all of them if you want to choose one of them.
Thats not a good option, China and India is not a football lover country. India has a huge cricket fan following and so does the other south asian countries. On the other hand USA and Canada does not have much strong football team. The craze of football is mostly in Brazil, Portagal, Saudia, Croatia

India is a crowded country, if you visited this country for once you will understand what I say, even if you don't consider the world cup tourists, this country doesn't have enough facilities even for the Indian people, I visited this country for once and I tried to take a taxi or a bus and in a normal situation when people are going to going you can never have an easy day in India.
