    I'm not a soccer fan (I know - Football) and blasphemy on a UK forum

    I do however watch the final or use it as background noise when playing my ipad.

    World cup in Mexico, US and Canada in '26

    City crying about not having money for services will be spending close to $380 Mil. dollars for 6 games. Was supposed to be a lot less, but of course the money always balloons way past expectations.

    6 games including a round of 32 game Think Canada gets 13 games in total

    US of course will get the best games

    Can't see tourists running to Toronto for early matches and run to the US for possible later ones. Canadian lovers of the games will be the seat fillers and current stadium needed to be expanded to meet FIFA seating requirements

    Personally. I think it's a waste of money for 6 games and would have passed

    Just my opinion

    I agree. Spreading in over three countries like this is ridiculous and a cost and logistical nightmare for fans. But it’s FIFA we’re talking about so fans are never a consideration.

    Only a logistical nightmare for the fans who will go to loads of matches. For many other fans it may well be more convenient.

    It took Montreal 30 years to pay for the Olympic Games in 76.

    Imagine, Canada comes up against USA on home turf

    "Come on you Canucks!" or "Allez Les Rouges!" will be echoing around Great Britain.

    Maple Leaf Forever.

    They have to get out of the first round and in the last two cups they were in. They failed to win one game

    Thought I saw a schedule, but maybe a previous one

    Not sure the US will fare any better. Maybe second round (barely), but no further

    I don't watch, but I know who the best teams are
