Yes, they have lots of money like many other countries but having lots of money can't love lots of problems for the world cup, you just saw in the Qatar world cup they spend lots of money and in the end, many people were unhappy about their hosting services, I think America got enough money to spend even more than Qatar but the thing about America is the country they know how to host a great event even without spending money like Qatar.

"Spending money" doesn't alone guarantee good results. According to reports, Qataris spent somewhere between $250 billion and $300 billion for hosting the FIFA World Cup in 2022. This is almost 10 times when compared to the amount spent by Russia to host the 2018 edition. And I am sure that the cost of costing the 2026 World Cup would also be much smaller when compared to that for Qatar. But then, most of the money spent was used to showoff the wealth rather than to create facilities for the players and fans. In the end, the fans were unhappy about overpriced facilities with low quality.

We cannot deny that the World Cup in Qatar was an unprecedented event, never before had a country spent so much money on this FIFA event. However, I disagree that the logistics were bad, what I have seen the most is that despite the high costs for the fans, the internal logistics were very good to watch the 2022 World Cup games. it won the fourth highest average audience in history, I think the post-covid period and the need for people to leave their homes and go on a trip helped a lot with that.

On the other hand, it did have many complaints, especially for the treatment given to the LGBT+ community, prejudice against women and also much of the deaths of immigrant workers.

Canada, Mexico and the United States have the important mission of making the 2026 World Cup better, showing that it is possible to do more with much less money.
I believe that the distance between the stadiums will be the main problem, I hope that the three countries manage to prepare good internal logistics to facilitate this movement.

People blame Qatar for spending money and for the rules, they had for the visitors like none could have freedom because of their rules about Alcohol and other special Islamic rules they made for their country. But the fact about Qatar is they are not guilty of it and that's all because FIFA made a bad decision by choosing this country to host the world cup while FIFA knows they don't have enough potential for it.
