Aho (insert pun)
I’ll be on this thread.
German fan here. I don’t think we pull it out this year. Schweinsteiger hasn’t been at his best, but he’s still my main man.

Eight... or maybe twelve year back local stole sold the bootleg-y support caps (country name and colors) after the tournament for the cheap price of one euro a piece.
I bought England. Wife wasn't happy. When she afterwards learned that they actually had a wide assortment to choose from and that I did actively pick England, she wasn't far away from throwing me out.
I btw bought Argentina and Spain afterwards too for laughs. It was after the one that Spain won, now to think of it.

I think it would be pretty amazing if Mexico could go far in the tournament. I know it would mean a lot to the country. I will root for them!

Tomorrow it starts, with the exciting game of... Russia and Saudiarabia. Probably the worst opening game of all time.
Also, congrats to USA, Mexico and Canada for getting the World Cup 2026. One World Cup the USA will play in atleast.

We should be even more competitive once the U.S. annexes Mexico!

This is Hurricanes Hockey
Since the United States did not qualify, I hope every team loses every game.

Does this mean all three countries get berths as the home country?

I think that's a yes. That's what they did when Japan and Korea co-hosted
No guarantee yet, but given this will probably be the first 48 team World Cup I think it's likely all 3 get bids and there are only 3 open CONCACAF bids.
CONCACAF will get 6 in the 48 team World Cup format, so this better be the last time the US misses out.

I know they're expanding the World Cup to 48 soon so it's moot, but honestly they REALLY need to tweak some of the bids.
There's no reason that AFC should be at 4.5 and even CAF should be one less then they are, though they're far easily to justify having 5 bids at least. UEFA, CONMEBOL, hell even CONCACAF have a stronger claim to deserving an extra bid over either.
Can't wait til 2022 when we see a country ranked that should likely be ranked worse then 100th in the world host while we have teams in the top 20 miss like usual.
