The 2026 World Cup will be hosted by three countries: Canada, The USA and Mexico. It will feature an expanded field of 48 teams consisting of 16 groups of 3 (as opposed to the current format of 32 teams in 8 groups of 4 - however the division of the 48 teams into groups is still a matter of ongoing debate within FIFA as of this post in late 2022). In the States, Fox retains broadcast rights for the cup.
This thread is about anything 2026 World Cup.
* Predictions about teams likely to dominate in 4-years time.
* Teams in decline - great now but unlikely to do well in 4 years.
* Upcoming talent.
* Best player to make the tourney. MBappe is getting better and better - but if Norway can qualify (48 teams now!), Haaland could easily overshadow him.
* Technology - VAR and other automated technologies are becoming ever more prominent. Will the 2026 cup feature side-line out-of-touch technology? Might offside technology be improved? - instant communication to the sideline officials so that offside is called immediately?
* And anything else.
