I really don't know how the audience are going to watch the match, because those who in United States of America cannot travel to and fro to watch the matches among the three countries. And since USA has the highest number of matches in the tournament, the final three matches will be played in USA. Since there are three countries that are hosting the great tournament this this team, the tournament will be more interested because each country will want to make more interesting than the other.
Those who are saying that Argentina will win the next world cup are just playing because the teams that will spring up to beat Argentina will shock everyone..
even though the 2026 world cup is a little different there will be many pros and cons of course, actually there is no problem if it has to be held in 3 countries because it can provide opportunities for other countries to be able to host the world cup of course it will bring in a lot of money coming in from the audience for the host country too , I support this change even though what you think will be difficult for Americans to travel everywhere but if they are football lovers, of course it will be easy for them

It is about the security measures and the reaction of the building company to the accidents.
For example, in the United States it is common for workers to have a health insurance provided by their employers, so in case of accident a worker will get the medical attention needed for them to survive.

The problem in Qatar was the fact they "hired" a huge percentage of foreign workers, immigrants who did not have the same legal benefits a worker would have in North-America. It was allegedly an inhumane treat.

Well, the fact that the USA has a certain number of hours of difference is something common, except that Canada and Mexico are not that different either, with respect to Argentina, it is obvious that it will always be one of the favorite teams, and that it will always They will be observed to be able to determine the eighth strongest teams, the same case is for Brazil, the other case is for some teams like Italy, like Portugal, (I hope they have enough strength to qualify) as well as how they will expand the quotas It is a very good opportunity for them to do it without any type of restriction, the playoffs will be very close, we will be able to see new teams that have never even gone to a World Cup.

An African team can reach FIFA World Cup 2026 final, believes CAF president Patrice Motsepe



Quote
Johannesburg: African football boss Patrice Motsepe told a press conference in Johannesburg on Wednesday he believes a team from the continent can reach the 2026 World Cup final.

“Morocco opened the door by reaching the semi-finals this month and I am confident an African nation will go further at the next World Cup,” said the South African billionaire.

“The main objective of CAF (Confederation of African Football) is for an African nation to win the World Cup and that goal is within reach.”

There will be nine or 10 African qualifiers for an expanded 48-team 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico — up from five in Qatar.

Morocco made history in Qatar by becoming the first African representatives to reach the semi-finals.

The Atlas Lions stunned Belgium in the group stage, then eliminated two more powerful European sides, Spain and Portugal, in the knockout stage before losing to France in the semi-finals.

“There are at least 10 African nations that can compete at the highest level and win the World Cup,” added Motsepe.

Even if it is way too early for this thread I really hate the idea of where they are going.

2-3 countries for a World cup is absurd in my opinion.

Imagine a guy who wants to follow the dream and wants to watch the 7 games until the final... he needs to travel the half-world for it, and pay a lot of extra money for it.
The extra money is one thing. Next one is the Visa process, it isn't easy to enter these countries same as one enters Qatar or an Asian country. The upcoming FIFA World Cup will surely be a big hurdle for each and everyone who have got plans to watch it. Anyhow we've got more years and the countries might come with more plans to ease out things.

I believe a more lenient process will be attached to it; they don't expect people to not enjoy the value of their money, and it will only scare people away from going to watch the games unless they're on a free trip, as in the case of country's supporter fans in the World Cup. If it becomes a selection process for everyone to decide where they want to watch the World Cup, it will undoubtedly worsen as more people will prefer to watch mostly the final stages of these matches.

I also have another question.... how do you imagine that Argentina, current champions, will perform in the next World Cup without Lionel Messi and Ángel di María?
I think Argentina need to be concerned early on about how they are going to deal with this deficit in their attacking team.

Argentina has excellent young players that can continue from where this team left off. Alvarez, Lo Celso, Romerio, E. Fenandez, Nico Gonzalez, Taglafico, Molina, Montiel, R. De Paul, Lisandro Martinez, Ganacho, Mac Allister are all young players that are very good. They don't need to have a player as good as Messi or Di Maria to win, they only need to play as a team, the same way they played in the Copa America and World cup. For now, Messi is still around and he'll still continue to help them but I doubt he'll be available for the world cup in 2026. I don't know if they have a good goalkeeper like Martinez though but they have less than four years to find one because Martinez won't be what he is today by 2026.

When any team belongs to remarkable player, different kind of motivation works within the team which can motivate even the weaker players to great deeds. Messi's role in the Argentine team is similar. When Messi is in the team, it is not impossible to expect good things from the other players because of the spiritual stimulation. It remains to be seen how the mentioned players play in the upcoming World Cup. The extent of Messi's contribution to the team will also be quantifiable.
That is the main thing - when Ronaldo is on the field then the eyes and camera are on him and when Messi is on the field all eyes are towards him too.
But portugal won one of their matches against SUI when Ronaldo didnot play - so they will be able to find more alternative and young blood will get a chance to play the important matches

Everyone knows the role Messi and Di Maria played in the Argentina team. When a player like Messi is in the team, the confidence of the rest of the players increases. Messi never helped the team in the World Cup, he led the whole team. The young players in the Argentina team can surely do well without Messi but for that they need to train and develop the mentality from now on.

Holding the World Cup for a long time and being held by three hosts is certainly very unique and there will be parties who protest and can cause problems later, so FIFA must make more effective regulations so that the idea of ​​organizing the world cup in 2026 can run smoothly, And this will consume a lot of the budget and the profits they will get will certainly be reduced when compared to the 2022 world cup in Qatar, and for the 48 teams that will compete, it will certainly provide many opportunities for each country that makes it through the qualifications.

The Argentina team will have to prepare the team without Messi and Di Maria for the next World Cup. Because the chances of both of them playing in the next World Cup are very low.
It's true that Messi and Di Maria are of course too old to participate in the 2026 world cup and that is an opportunity for other young Argentinian players to fill those positions soon. Maybe at this time with the existing Argentina squad it is still possible to continue moving forward, but the role of Messi and Di Maria as creative figures in the Argentinian attack line will be a serious problem if there are no replacements. Maybe in a year or two, new Argentinian young players will appear, coupled with the current squad they will try to defend the world cup title.

I think it is obvious that the Argentinian national team is facing a generational change because it is not realistic that their main players, Di Maria and Messi, will play in the next World Cup in 4 years.
Will new young players be able to replace Messi? I think that is impossible and that Argentina will have to change the style and concept of the game and play more as a team.
After the departure of Pele, Brazil had to wait 24 years for a new world champion title.
Argentina had something special and unique with Messi. Without Messi, they are just another team out of many.

1xBit.. recovered their reputation
So this next world cup will be held in the entirety of North America...
I have got nothing against people from Qatar or Islam, but I believe it is better this way at least people will be able to get some beer, the food their want and won't get arrested for showing support towards anything specific and most importantly, there will likely not be any controversy because the death of workers.

Eager to see how Latin-American team will perform there.
I think during the construction period, there are usually a lot of workers who have accidents and can the USA and Mexico be safe places for construction workers? Moreover, Mexico is famous for its high crime rate

I think the US, Canada and Mexico will experience similar worker accidents but the media don't exaggerate that, besides that these three countries do not have strict rules and every visitor is free to do anything unlike in Qatar which upholds eastern customs and culture

Qatar paid a lot to have a world cup in their country but i think for them it paid off . They got so many people to visit their country and it was good for their country to be seen. But yes still problems with beer and some other stuff shouldnt happen but still its their country and their rules it has to be respected.
The World Cup in Qatar was the most expensive tournament ever. As Qatar is an Islamic state, there are some religious customs that the visitors have to follow, but that was not a problem for the World Cup visitors. The steps taken by Qatar in hosting the Football World Cup were really great. People from all over the world now know Qatar well and have some idea about their culture. All in all, the World Cup in Qatar was definitely enjoyable.
Qatar will keep getting the benefit of hosting the world cup for many years and more investors and tourists even immigrants will keep increasing and it will be more than they have ever recorded in previous years. Hosting the World Cup is like another type of investment generally with all they spent to make it a reality they will make much more within future years

the world don't think beyond the beer and the life starts without beer. In our religion we are forbidden to drink alcohol and we strongly follow that.
Life is colourful and have to spent on the thing which are predictive - wine and beer are no use seriously.

The Qatari authorities have been able to organize this World Cup very well.

Sure about it?
Because it is alleged they were not able to completely build the place where people were supposed to stay, also they had a deal with an important brand of beer and the government of Qatar cancelled the distribution of Beer in the last second, probably with a negative effect to that brand.

Keeping those things in mind I am almost certain the next world cup will be definitely better organized, more enjoyable and free.

Honestly, I thought this increase from 32 to 48 teams was very good, but making groups with only three participants, and ranking two in order to take two thirds of all teams to a direct elimination duel is insane, in my opinion.

Obviously this is not defined yet, but I would prefer to see 12 groups with four teams each, so that fewer teams qualify for the second phase.
And you, do you agree?

I also have another question.... how do you imagine that Argentina, current champions, will perform in the next World Cup without Lionel Messi and Ángel di María?
I think Argentina need to be concerned early on about how they are going to deal with this deficit in their attacking team.

I agree with 12 groups of 4 teams, I think Fifa will chose this format instead of others.
But I'll add something I haven't said yet, I prefer the World cup with 32 teams every 2 years hehehe, instead of 4 years. It's a lot of time to wait until the next one.

About Argentina's next cup, there's a small, very small possibility to Messi play the next world cup, he will be 39  Cheesy
I don't think he will play until 39, but it's a possibility since Messi is not a player who gets injured a lot and it's in good shape.
I believe Argentina will have a big problem to make another team without Messi, obviously, but the coach and confederation will probably talk with Messi to make their plans to 2026, where they can plan to build the team with or without Messi.
The Argentina team will have to prepare the team without Messi and Di Maria for the next World Cup. Because the chances of both of them playing in the next World Cup are very low.
