Especially for Canada it is a gift from heaven that they can now participate in the final tournament again. Qualifying on your own would be possible, but it would also be a very difficult story because the competition in North America is very large. And South America is of course many times stronger, in that respect you still have the advantage of being with North America. In South America you would be fairly out of luck. Countries like Colombia are also having a hard time qualifying for the World Cup. But won't Mexico also want to achieve a great success again? A number of top players but semi-finals are no longer reached.

Although I didnot get what you are trying to say.
But for America and Canada a lot of people will apply for visa and they are not going to
come back for sure!

This is more than anything for the People of the third world, but do not believe that things are like that, many of those who have gone to the USA and see that the American dream is only a mirage that they have been asked through the movies, well they are being returned, I have many friends, friends who have made this old in the USA and the rate of exploitation that they give them is something Unbearable, because they Cannot cope with the system or with the way of working that they Implement there, For this Reason many of those who have left have returned , they say that it is preferable to work here than there , where they do not have a Single Day Off.

That's true but finals or knockout games sometimes have their own laws to a certain degree. The game between France and Argentina could have also ended differently. There we so many minor things that in the ended went in favor of Argentina, but I do think that they are the deserved winner. France was too passive for too long during that final game.

At the World Cup 2026 I expect a French national team that is more awake and focused on the moment. In 2022 they also slowed down in the game against Morocco where it didn't really look like a typical France game. They were behind or even in all statistics except for goals. Morocco had 62% ball possession and higher passing accuracy. Since we are talking about France here, that is not quite normal.

But with this loss in the back of their heads they are now looking forward to their next chance and avoid the mistakes they made last time.

The World Cup in Qatar it was a watershed (in my opinion)
I could never imagine that a country with Muslim traditions could host an event like the World Cup.

In 2026, I'm almost sure that several national teams will surprise the whole world.
Year after year, countries around the world are taking football seriously as a serious sport.
They are training more, some countries are investing in football and teaching young people and children to practice this sport.

In my life I would never have imagined that Morocco would be able to participate in a World Cup semi-final (I'm not putting it down, but that was something unbelievable)
Germany was easily eliminated and had a poor performance in the 2018 and 2022 cup.
Italy did not participate in the last world cups (2018-2022)
Croatia beating Brazil sensationally (2022)

I will be very curious to know how the 2026 world cup will be!
I have no doubt that we will have several surprises, and I am sure that several teams will be more prepared and evolved in relation to this last world cup that we had.

Indeed, the World Cup in Qatar was a game-changer, quite literally! It shattered stereotypes and paved the way for more inclusivity in football. But wouldn't you agree that the rise of the underdogs is not an isolated incident but part of a global trend? The convergence of technology, improved infrastructure, and strategic investment in football academies worldwide is narrowing the traditional power gap. As a result, countries previously considered "minnows" in football are causing major upsets. Remember Iceland's run in Euro 2016? Unforgettable, wasn't it? Your mention of Morocco and Croatia brings to mind a broader question: Are the glory days of the traditional football powerhouses fading? With Italy's absence and Germany's underperformance, it seems that the playing field is leveling. I reckon the 2026 World Cup could turn out to be the most competitive yet. A football lover's delight, wouldn't you say?

The next World Cup will not feel like Qatar. Because Qatar has been able to extract a lot of money from the World Cup. We really don't know how FIFA organizes the next World Cup but we as football fans will want to get something new.

That is very true, but I remember that in the TV programs that said that they did not expect an ROI, but rather the opposite that they wanted to demonstrate was their wealth and how beautiful the country of QATAR is, everything related to their business was intrinsically included. culture, with their way of life and with what being their people includes, in addition to always emphasizing that they did not pay taxes, and that there were all kinds of possibilities to set up their businesses as long as they contributed development to their country, there are endless There are many things that can be done in Qatar as long as you Respect their rules , their conditions , their culture.
