World Cup: World Cup 2026 - Pre Tournament & Qualifiers Thread

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

    In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server

2 years out, schedule being released in full on Feb 4th. Qualification started in some regions, thought it may make sense to get a dedicated thread out.



Final being held in Dallas:

 
I can not wait. For me, it's hard to be the last one (I was a little over a year old in 78, but I remember 86 EXTREMELY well). The chances are stacked against ANYONE repeating (it's only happened twice, and not in anything close to the modern era), but here's to hoping! 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷

Terrific midfield and emerging prospects. Spine still there and emerging full backs. Soule, Paz and Redondo with Barco and Echeverri to come in. Can they replace ADM ? Will Messi turn up ?

It will be a very strong Argentina squad again
Plenty of support too from expats and a huge travelling sport.

Hope for another success.
 
Why are they talking like this is convenient for fans the USMNT is literally playing 3000 miles away from me.
 
I don't get why given the chance that you have don't host teams play all their games at different sites. I get it for Canada because they only have two sites, but the US and Mexico should at least hit 3 different sites in group stage.
 
Schedule kinda sucks. Lots of overlap between Dallas/KC and PHI/NY, going to make it difficult to see 2 games in 2 locations for me.
 
BMO Field's inclusion is embarrassing. That is not a "stadium" befitting the World Cup.
Have you seen the renderings for the renovation/seat expansion? It's even worse.

I will say it has more of a footballing atmosphere than the dimly lit, indoor, BC Place.
