FIFA World Cup 2026 - It's Called Football, Not Soccer!

Europeans tricked me into watching that horrid Champions League finale, not doing it again.

Interestingly I will be in Europe towards the end of the tournament so will be able to see how much juice this tourney has over there.

you should have watched the semi psg vs bayern, that was the real final, it was known arsenals terrorist tactics would make the final a boring match
 
Just like last season between Barca and Inter.

I wonder how the first ever World Cup half time show will go

Just hope it doesn't run on too long because it'd be weird to have such a long break between the game.

Thanks ads in the hydration break!

Now I know that I need the Ronaldo, Henry and Beckham's cup.
 
Just a reminder for the idiots, Messi does not play for the United States and the United States are considered probably a rung or two up from the worst tier of teams in the tournament.
 


I don't argue with PSG fans... As a São Paulo supporter they are our sons.

Nothing screams Brazil more than this:


Embraer Check, Football check, Rio beaches check, gorgeous background check, Reckless driving check.

I wouldn't underestimate the USMNT. Are they world beaters? Of course not, but on their day, they can beat almost anyone.
 
I think this tournament will be a turning point in US history.

I don't think the US will win it, but it will be revolutionary to sports in the country. After the World Cup, you'll see more and more Americans embrace football and turn away from their American sports like American Football, Baseball and Basketball. Those sports will turn into forgotten niche sports, and REAL football will be the number one watched sport in the nation.

It'll take time, but by 2040 I think football the US will be bigger than the NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB combined. So much so, that one of them may completely collapse and vanish. The US will admit that a sport invented in little England is the greatest sport on the planet.

Look, I think the US will do well by their standards, I think they'll make it out of their group and I know the sport will only grow from here, as it has been since '94. But bigger than the NFL, NBA? No... Maybe the MLB, but it's gonna take quite a while, still. It's bigger than the NHL, so there's a precedent for soccer outgrowing other sports here in the US. Don't get me wrong, I wish soccer was #1 here in the US and the MLS signing the biggest names in the sport in their prime, not at the end of their career. MLS is still a retirement league, sadly. We can only go up from here.
 
We can only go up from here.

Yep. The only way is up. But it won't stop growing. It will be, by a large margin, the biggest sport in the US and I'm convinced it'll be bigger than NFL and NBA.

Another reason I want it to happen is because then the conquest of English sport around the world will be complete. England will have conquered the USA via sports 🤗
