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.

I am not sure why the discussion has gone to India
the main country we are discussing are USA, Canada and Marxico
can anyone shed light on does maxico has football team because Canada and USA is not a strong team

Just check the oldest players we had in the 2022 world cup in the picture below from transfermarkt:

Why a player with 38 or 39y old should play in this tournament when they could use younger players and even make them ready for the next world cup to have better performance?

When people are talking about Messi playing in the 2026 world cup or not I look at this picture when we have an old legend like Messi who is getting retired soon and Enzo Fernandez as 22y old player who can shine in many other world cups in the future for his team.
I guess there is also the same situation in other teams and after the old players, new legends should appear.
~snip~

I really hope Messi doesn't play in the 2026 world cup as it would remove the retirement highlight of winning the 2022 world cup.

He will be way too old, and for what really?, he already completed the world cup, the only thing he was missing.

Retiring now would be the right thing to do, if he plays the next one, it will not be as epic of a retirement.

that is to true most of the sportsman the announce their retirment after their victory. They dont play the next match or the event because they like to remembered as victorious

I personally think that Lionel Messi can announce his retirement from the national team anytime. Because Lionel Messi will be almost 40 years old by the time the 2026 World Cup is played. No one knows how much Lionel Messi can do for the team at that time. Now it's all up to Lionel Messi to decide.

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!

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.

Probably with the upcoming World Cup these players will announce retirement. Young players are playing good, however the experience of the old players make them stand unique from the potential young players. The young players have developed skills within them, inspiring from the mentioned three players whose names always have their value unlike their involvement into the match.

Ronaldo and neymar announced last fifa their last one than how can they play in upcoming one , messi although won too but he said this that 2022 fifa is going to be his last one.
Football have plenty of talent and their place will be taken by young talents soon.
Looking forward to mbappe performance in 2026.

Seems interesting for me enough to know where did you get this idea about their announcement because of all the three star players that you have mentioned, all three of them spoke of the opposite thing. It's not a guarantee though if they can play but they sure did not say that the last FIFA was their last one.

In fact, these are all their words about the upcoming FIFA.

Cristiano Ronaldo:

Quote

Ronaldo had said in September 2022 that he was not going to retire, and that his plan was to stay with the squad to play at the 2026 World Cup in Canada, Mexico and the US. “I’m still motivated. My ambition is really high”, he said, “I’m in a national team with a lot of youngsters. I want to be in the World Cup and at Euros. I want to make that commitment now.”

Neymar:

Quote

Neymar has hinted that he will prolong his international career with Brazil through to the 2026 World Cup, with Lionel Messi serving as inspiration

Lionel Messi:

Quote

Lionel Messi backed to play at 2026 FIFA World Cup even though he'll be 39 when it ends

If Lionel Messi changes his team this time, his performance status will be understood. Because I personally did not see the performance I expected from him at PSG. But I hope Lionel Messi will surprise the whole world again.

Actually, there is a chance that Lionel Messi will change his team as he was already vocal before the World Cup began that he is not inclined in extending his 2-year deal under PSG that will expire next month. For Messi's next team and journey, there are no solid sources that could reveal his plans, but rumors suggests that he may be going towards Saudi Arabia and play under the same team with CR7. And some rumors are also saying that he will likely go back FC Barcelona.

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.

FIFA is, of course, an organization, and a very, very ugly one. I really don't like these parasites that get income from someone else's business, they really make me angry, but there is something funny about them that always makes me happy. I really like their elections: these are elections from one candidate! Grin

This is something bastard of dictatorships, but for some reason no one pays attention to it.

We still don't know which players and which teams are going to play in the 2026 world cup and the thing about young players like Haaland or Osimhen is they are unstable and we can't say if they will have good performance in 2026 as they do have in this year or not.

These three players made football very Interesting for a longtime, as far as they still plays football it so hard for fans to forget about them . After they retire their would be new set of talented players that will dominate the football. But as for now even they don't give the best their names can't be silent.

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.

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

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.

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.
