Re: FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United States: Discussion Thread
Why is the world cup in Qatar the best in history? Do you have a specific reason why you think so?
If you think the World Cup in Qatar was the best because of the money made, then you are probably right, but football should not only be focused on finance and money.
Football is first of all emotion, joy, happiness, sadness, pleasure... everything that makes football so special.
On that side, for me, the best world cups, from those I remember, were 1986 in Mexico, 1990 in Italy, 2002 in South Korea and Japan and 2014 in Brazil.
As the Mastercard commercial reads, emotions can't be bought with money

I agree here. This World Cup in the middle of the season resembled either exhibition games or fixed games. There was no feeling of historicity of what was happening. This tournament was based on money from the very beginning to the very end, and I have no good attitude towards such things. But in fairness, I should note that if you look at the trend, then maybe this is just a consequence of the fact that the national team tournaments are gradually dying. I'll test my feelings at Euro 2024, maybe I'm wrong.
It was not that entertaining as it is in the normal time in summer when it is held in Europe,South America or North America,we are used to such World Cups and we were not used to the tournament being played in November which was boring and it was double boring because it stopped our beloved Premier League and other major leagues.I had the feeling that the teams were not performing to their fullest but that is because most teams were experimenting with new players,we will really see how good this new teams like Spain which I think will grow really nice to give us a big surprise maybe in the 2024 Euro.
I think every world cup is unique and every country tries their best to bring the best to the world. So we much appreciate every nation effort for keeping the entertainment alive
