Re: FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United States: Discussion Thread
Sometimes we might assume that four years is a long time but before you know what going on we are already in the world cup year. I am very pleased Africa would have more slots and hopefully, my country would be able to qualify for this great tournament. Sadly, most of the world's greatest footballers might not be available for the next world cup but within the next few years, we might start having a new crop of world-class footballers.
The world cup has a way of forcing countries to make their visa requirements or immigration policy more flexible. The US and other co-host would reduce their entry requirements. Qatar did a good job but I am sure the performance of the US would be far better.
So this should be banned in stadium to have a better experience and to avoid harassment and to avoid unpleasant experiences.
Each prohibition creates its own smuggling routes. I imagine thousands of fans drinking beer in cola bottles in the stadium.
Anyway, these are not important things. They organized a successful and enjoyable tournament in a challenging geography like the Middle East. There were hardly any bad incidents in the matches. Participants from other countries also acted with common sense and added to the beauty of the organization. I congratulate them. The new tournament will take place on the American continent. There will be 48 teams instead of 32. I think we will watch an extraordinary tournament with lots of surprises. I hope we see more of the surprise results in Qatar in this tournament and every match will entertain us more.
